Esper Vs Microsoft Intune

Esper’s Next-Gen Device Management Solution Beats Intune for Android 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 flexibility, personalized support, seamless integration, and robust infrastructure needed to keep your business moving forward. Give us a try and discover why Esper is the best Intune alternative.

Esper

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.

Affordable pricing and feature-rich

Buying things shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we have a simple, affordable pricing model that includes features like remote control across all SKUs. 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.

Core Android Expertise

Esper has far more Android-specific expertise, especially in dedicated device use cases — both GMS and non-GMS / AOSP.

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.

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.

Microsoft Intune

Inadequate support

If you’re not a big customer or subscribe to Microsoft’s professional services offerings, it can be difficult to get the technical help you need to make your devices work how you want.

Expensive and less feature-rich

If customers do not get Intune included in their Microsoft subscription, Intune as a standalone offering is expensive and less feature-rich than Esper.

Designed for BYOD and COPE devices

Intune is designed for 1:1 relationships between users and devices, primarily BYOD and COPE use cases. While they can support some dedicated device use cases, it’s more of an afterthought than a focus.

Core Windows Expertise

Android is just one of many things that Intune does; Windows is the primary focus. What’s that saying? Jack of all trades…master of none?

Built only for IT admins

Intune is a tool for IT administrators, not product and development teams, who want to accelerate their device release cycles.

Hardware end of life equals money spent

With Intune, 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.

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.
