Advanced remote tooling

Esper’s secure remote viewer plugin allows you to control any device in your fleet remotely, right in the console. Say goodbye to onsite troubleshooting and hello to happier users.

Samsung Knox

For Samsung devices only

The Knox platform is device management built by a hardware company. Optimized for its own devices, critical features are often unsupported on non-Samsung devices. Don’t get locked in.

Upcharges basic support

Expecting onboarding tools and instructions? Not with Knox. Setting up the main portal can be tricky, and onboarding support can cost you extra.

Rudimentary and restricted app tools

Knox has limited support for apps outside its AppStack ecosystem. Visibility into app updates is limited, and many purpose-built apps are simply not available.

Shaky customer service

Support for the Knox platform is outsourced by Samsung. Getting in touch can be difficult, and smaller accounts can anticipate glacial response times.

Rusty remote capabilities

Knox’s basic remote tools don’t allow users to switch from Kiosk to Multi-asset Mode, which limits your ability to make adjustments or troubleshoot offsite.

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

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.
