User Testimonials
	esper.io	Jamf Now
Likelihood to Recommend	Esper esper.io helps manage devices to control how they are used and what software is allowed to be run on the device. This help us ensure proper usage of the device and also prevent all kinds of misuse of the devices. esper.io completely replaces the device interface and locks the devices preventing theft, misuse and abuse. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Anywhere with under 100 Apple devices, I would recommend this service. It was always so simple to add a device you recently purchased to your inventory and be able to check in on it anytime. If they had more than 100, I would recommend Jamf Pro, the enterprise version of this software. Incentivized Logan Wiser IT Director Read full review
Pros	Esper App Management Device Management Monitoring of Device Usage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Resetting passwords remotely.. Locking or wiping a device. Pushing new apps out to all or one iPad. Controlling what apps are installed on the iPads. Steven Nielsen Senior Project Manager Read full review
Cons	Esper Installation & Setup First time configuration Play Store Intergration Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC I would like to see some more advanced functions for the iOS supervised mode. Maybe pushing iOS updates? Right now we can only see if it requires an update, but can't schedule an update time, etc. I would like to see Jamf Now work with Apple to allow apps with in-app purchases that can be used with Jamf Now. Right now some apps don't have two versions available in the app store (a full version, and a free version with in-app purchases), so the single version free app with in-app purchases can't be used across our enterprise environment. :( They could do with a better lost device activation lock. Currently, you can only lock a device from being erased and re-setup if you associate an icloud account with it and turn it on to find the lost device.

Support Rating	Esper No answers on this topic	Jamf Software, LLC No body is perfect and occasionally, but rare, it take a little bit to get a reply on the chat, but overall as compared to other chat sessions it is pretty responsive and fairly quick. They allow you to upload a screen shot if that helps and to reply with solutions via email so I have it as a reference in writing for future problems.
