ESPER

Truly touchless provisioning

Esper Seamless Provisioning is a truly touchless provisioning option — just turn the device on and walk away.

From Windows to Android with ease

Esper offers a way to quickly convert devices from Windows to Android, thus extending the hardware lifespan. Bare metal, virtualization, or even dual boot are all available.

Built for IT admins and developers

Esper’s intuitive console makes onboarding and device management easy for IT teams. Automation, APIs, and SDK access make life simple for developers. Win-win.

Personalized support

Esper is all about our customers, and that shows in our interactions. Our support is second to none, and our willingness to go above and beyond is unmatched.

Simple pricing structure

Buying things shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we have a simple, affordable pricing model. Pick your plan and pay per device. It’s that simple.

Designed for business-critical devices

Esper is for you if your business relies on kiosks, point of sale systems, company-owned and managed smartphones and tablets, or other devices critical to business.

WORKSPACE ONE

Cumbersome onboarding

Onboarding new devices to Workspace One can sometimes take up to two hours. That’s a lot of time.

Hardware end of life means money spent

With Workspace One, there’s no updating EOL (end of life) Windows hardware — you just have to replace it. Depending on your device fleet size, that can get really costly really quickly.

Devs need not apply

You're out of luck if you want to do more than what Workspace One offers in a point-and-click interface. No advanced SDK or API integration here.

Customer support is a second-class citizen

If you’re not one of VMware’s top-tier customers, you’re not going to get the personalized customer support you need — or even a response at all in some cases.

Complex pricing model

Workspace One’s pricing model is about getting you in the door and then gating the features you need to succeed, so you have to pay more.

Designed for employee-owned devices

Employee-owned devices don’t have the same management needs as business-critical, company-owned hardware. It’s like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole.

What Esper Customers Have to Say

Their documentation and user guide are simple yet comprehensive. Their tech support is responsive. They have an extensive knowledge base on their product. They have API integrations for developers as well, not many MDM software have this.

User on G2

Before Esper, each tablet took around 30 minutes of focused effort and about 1.5 hours total to set up. With Esper, the initial setup work takes under 5 minutes, the tablets can be left to configure and update themselves. This has saved us DAYS of work time and improved both safety and reliability.

User on G2

Excellent team with deep knowledge about Android and Market players. They have helped us in our product development as well as introduced us to great vendors to partner with.
