Endless possibilities, simple administration
Big device fleets need tools that are made to scale. With Esper’s granular device grouping, you can organize your devices in a way that makes sense for you — by hardware, location, OS, or anything else you can think of. Then manage your entire device fleet — or just parts of it — from a single location.
Managing a large-scale device fleet isn’t for the faint of heart. You’re simultaneously managing devices of different types, functions, and configurations as if they were a synchronized unit. And the bigger your device fleet, the bigger the risk if things go wrong.
Without device grouping, when you apply changes to one device, you apply them to all your devices. Let’s say you’re pushing an update — without grouping you have to make a blanket change. What if the update isn’t compatible with certain devices? What if there’s an issue with the update? Too bad.
Grouping gives you a safety net. You can finely control the consequences of a single action, both positively and negatively. Push an app to a small group of devices. If the update fails, those devices are the only ones temporarily affected. Smaller blast radius, smaller problem for you to solve.
Device grouping is a valuable tool with a number of benefits that can improve the efficiency of managing large scale device fleets, including:
Higher productivity: Categorize your devices any way you want, then manage your entire fleet from a single location
Reduced complexity: Manage your fleet as a cohesive unit regardless of device type, function, or configuration
Minimized risks: Prevent issues from affecting your entire fleet by starting updates on smaller groups of devices, then scaling
Increased control: Perform commands, app installs, updates, and more on your terms, to only the devices you choose

You can group your devices any way you can think of — device type, hardware, device location, OS version, and more.
You can create 5 subgroups nested within a parent group.
Yes. A device group can include different device types within it.
