Esper vs. SOTI

Esper’s Next-Gen Device Management Solution Beats SOTI 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 SOTI alternative.

ESPER

Personalized support you can count on
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.
Powerful, but easy to use
Whether you want powerful point-and-click options in the console or robust API integration (or both), the Esper platform is easy to use and doesn’t skimp on power-user features.
Simple pricing structure
Buying things shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we have a simple, affordable pricing model. Pick your plan and pay per device. It’s that simple.
Extended hardware lifecycle
Whether you’re rocking the latest off-the-shelf model, legacy hardware, or designing a fully customized solution, Esper can take it to the next level.
Built for IT admins and developers alike
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.
Reliable remote capabilities
Esper’s secure remote viewer plugin allows you to access any device in your fleet remotely, right in the console. Say goodbye to onsite troubleshooting and hello to happier users.

SOTI

Support has left the building
SOTI offloads most of its customer support to its resellers or outsources it outside the company. Expect slow response times, especially for smaller accounts.
Cumbersome UI and console
Like a carriage with a broken wheel, SOTI’s platform is dated and buggy. Your MDM is supposed to make you the hero, not get in your way.
Complex pricing model
SOTI’s pricing model is about getting you in the door and then gating the features you need to succeed. If you want to customize, prepare to shell out even more.
Hardware end of life means money spent
SOTI has limited device type and OS version support. Don’t break out your wallet to rip and replace legacy devices when you’re not ready to say goodbye..
Devs need not apply
You're out of luck if you want to do more than what SOTI offers in a needlessly complex interface. And who loves unrelated add ons getting in their way?
Rocky remote control
SOTI struggles to communicate to devices in sleep mode and sporadically drops remote control functionality, leaving you and your devices hanging.

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.

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.
