Esper
Future-proof device management
Whether you want powerful point-and-click options in the console or robust API integration (or both), the Esper platform is easy to use and doesn’t skimp on power-user features.
Truly touchless provisioning
Esper Seamless Provisioning is a truly touchless provisioning option — just turn the device on and walk away.
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 – always.
Compliance you can count on
With Esper’s ironclad kiosk mode and advanced drift management tools, you can rest assured that devices are always in compliance and even remediate drift automatically.
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.
Hexnode
MDM for a bygone era
Modern device fleets can’t rely on old-school device management tools. Don’t wait while Hexnode plays catchup with delayed, in-development features to get your job done.
Cumbersome multi-step onboarding
Onboarding new devices to Hexnode requires up to 4x the steps compared to Esper. That’s working harder, not smarter.
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.
Fizzling customer support
Sure, Hexnode may answer the call when you first become a customer. But the reliability just isn’t there, with support quality waning steadily as time goes by. Don’t get ghosted.
Shaky device lockdown
Device security top-of-mind? Watch out: Unannounced updates from Hexnode have caused devices in the field to fall out of kiosk mode — and out of compliance.
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.
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.
