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?

The dashboards and group management makes it easy to get a quick overview of our devices.

Site wide reboots with one button.

Updates can be pushed with minimal down time on the customer. (We are in security so that is a big deal for us)

Remote view and control features make it easy to support customers using our devices.

The reporting graphs are very useful for determinng the cause of issues or even preventing issues in the first place.

The survey requests I mention ease of use, for a technician or anyone with a bit of IT knowledge its very easy to use.

The platform as a whole is very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esper?

I would like a reporting archive of some sort, I simply might not have seen it, but i would like the ability to pull a report on each device to see how it has performed and how the user handled the device over a period of about a month or more.

We have had some of our devices behave strangley , brightness and volume settings change for example without the user making the changes (the settings are locked out of the users reach)

Accessibilty settings are still accessable even when the device is locked out, I understand this is a feature built into the android API but I would like a means of preventing accidental activation of settings like the Narrator funtion for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Device monitoring.

Application update release management.

Strict User access control.

Easy of support to customer.

Faster turn around times with on site issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched to a android tablet based timeclock solution and needed a way to lockdown the tablets to only run the timeclock app while also giving us the ability to remotely troubleshoot and update the devices.

What do you like best about Esper?

Ease of working.

UI is good.

Never seen any kind of bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esper?

We should have the option to delete queued commands. I have seen like 15-20 commands are in queue due to which the deployment gets delayed. Neither we can delete those commands nor push a fresh one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Right now everything seems OK except the queued commands stucking problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
