Product Summary

Esper is a next-generation mobile device management (MDM) solution marketed as the “smarter approach” to managing iOS and Android tablets, kiosks, smartphones, and IoT edge devices, among other devices. Its platform offers a wide range of features that allow IT teams to monitor their fleet efficiently from a single pane of glass.

Use Cases

  • Centralized device management:
    Esper provides MDM capabilities from a single dashboard.
  • Remote diagnostics:
    Esper helps you monitor all your devices for possible performance issues and resolve them before they become larger technical issues.
  • Compliance enforcement:
    Users can easily set policies, and Esper will automatically and accurately enforce them.

Shortcomings

  • Remote access:
    Esper could improve its remote control and viewing tool so users can manage multiple devices in real-time without slowing down.
  • Platform compatibility:
    According to some G2 users, Esper is much better suited for Android devices, leaving its support for iOS devices much to be desired.
  • Reporting capabilities:
    Some G2 users have stated that they occasionally have difficulty using Esper’s reporting function.
