What do you like best about Esper?

It has been great using the platform to manage over 700 devices. It has been a game changer in our operations monitoring device use in some of the most remote areas in Nepal and Uganda. It is very easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esper?

At the moment, there is a disconnect between the application usage information and the core system. it would be great to have a unified platform where you can access the device info and the data platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to make sure we know that devices are online and community has access to them. Seeing how often the devices are online aids us in designing our program implementation better and tailor our offering for the community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Description

Esper is the ultimate platform for managing business-critical dedicated devices. With Esper’s robust capabilities for device lockdown, kiosk mode, remote control, over-the-air updates, deployment pipelines, and more, organizations of all sizes can automate standard MDM operations, enabling them to customize and innovate more rapidly than ever before.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

For organizations looking for unified device management across Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices, Esper offers a streamlined, efficient solution. With unified control, flexible provisioning, easy configuration, and dynamic app management, we offer a differentiated experience that isn't just smart; it's genius.

Traditional mobile device management and mobility solutions (like MDMs, MAMs, EMMs, and UEMs) weren’t built for today’s growing, modern hardware fleets. That’s why Esper goes beyond device management with intelligent tooling and infrastructure for company-owned and managed devices.

Our platform was designed from the ground up to do things MDMs usually don’t, like advanced troubleshooting or debugging features, granular app version control, dynamic device grouping, remote deployment, and other advanced features. Esper is the only platform that provides end-to-end solutions for company owned and managed devices — giving organizations of all sizes the ability to customize and innovate more rapidly than ever before.

What do you like best about Esper?

I love the web interface and how easy it is use. Everything just works and I don't have to think about managming my fleet of devices. We use seemless provisoning for even less of a headache. We can ship the device direcetly to a customer without ever having to open the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esper?

The custom roles can be hard to navigate at times, but with enough trial and error you will get the desired result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esper solving and how is that benefiting you?

With seemelss provisoning it is easier than ever for a customer to get up and running. They turn on the device, it gets all the latest version of our enterprise apps and they are ready to go within minutes. Our logistics team loves it because they no longer have to open the box if there is an app update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esper?

We were evaluating several device management systems for growing business need. Among the final candidates, Esper beat all others in every single aspect in which we evaluated and were interested in. Apart from that, the platform is able to deliver the functionality providing a smooth and straightforward experience.

The setup process was reliably easy and migrating from the trial to the full product was very smooth.

There are two aspects that I'd like to highlight of the product's UX:

The Esper console is very intuitive and straight-forward. This is much appreciated and something we don't take for granted, as many of the alternatives that we tried were seriously playing on another level in this regard.

The Esper provisioning process is as stream-lined as it can be. This is critical, especially for large fleets of devices. Operative costs are greatly optimized when having as little set-up and maintenance as possible as Esper is able to deliver.

I'd strongly recommend Esper for use cases where you want to maintain a fleet of devices, either for internal or external use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esper?

Esper provides a SDK API, which is interesting and appreciated. I'd welcome some of this functionality to be developed into the standard, SDK-less functionality that is able to be delivered with just configuration in the Esper console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esper solving and how is that benefiting you?

We manage our fleet of loaner phones using Esper. It resolves the management and tech administrative aspects of this feel of phones, while letting us concentrate on delivering a solution for our customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
