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.

SureMDM

All or nothing rollouts
With SureMDM, you either deploy updates to one device or to your entire fleet, en masse. Old school software delivery isn’t just a headache for tech teams — it also puts device security (and uptime) at serious risk.
Dude, where’s my device?
Your MDM should know where your devices are at all times, right? Don’t count on SureMDM’s location tracking, which can fail to update in real time.
BYOD basics
SureMDM is designed to reach a broad audience and lacks the flexibility tech-first companies need to scale — not a great recipe for growing fleets or device use cases.
Sporadic system updates
SureMDM’s system updates can take place during the workday, causing major disruption on customer facing devices. When your business relies on devices, that’s a big 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).

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.
