Esper vs. MaaS360 by IBM

Esper’s Next-Gen Device Management Solution Beats MaaS360 in All the Ways That Matter

Esper is the answer if you’re looking for big company features with a small company feel. We offer the custom solutions, dedicated support, seamless integration, and robust infrastructure needed to keep your business moving forward. Give us a try and discover why Esper is the best MaaS360 alternative.

Esper

Powerful, yet easy to use

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

Purpose-built MDM for enterprise hardware

When security is paramount, app delivery is make-or-break, and efficiency is your top priority, Esper is the next-gen tooling you need.

Reliable real time updates

Timely updates are critical for device security, longevity, and experience. With Esper, you can be confident that your deployments are secure, repeatable, and scalable. Flawless feels good, huh?

Troubleshoot from anywhere

See, access, and fix any device, at any location, in real-time — no expensive on-site visits required.

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.

MaaS360

Cumbersome UI and console

Like a spoon in a bowl full of concrete, MaaS360’s console is slow and difficult to use. Your MDM should make your life easier, not needlessly complex.

Device management is an afterthought

MaaS360 is bare bones MDM by a hardware manufacturer that only wants to provide very basic MDM functionality.

Dude, where’s my update?

Changes in the MaaS360 console can take up to a day (!!!) to show up on devices in the field. This latent period isn’t just seriously inconvenient — it can put your device fleet at serious risk.

Clumsy remote (in)capability

MaaS360 doesn’t have integrated remote troubleshooting capabilities. Sure, it has a rough approximation to remote in — but not without kicking the end user out. Yikes.

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.

Comparisons are based on publicly available information and customer feedback (i.e., G2 and Gartner).

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.
