We implemented Esper to manage a media streaming tablet in our office. It was chosen for it's cost, and that it allows the security features needed for a device that everyone has access to. I especially appreciate the ability to enable Kiosk mode, geo fence the device, and remotely access and control the device.
  • Security locks and controls
  • Limiting access to apps
  • Remote access
  • Easy device provisioning methods
  • It does everything I need so I can't complain
We use it to force Kiosk mode on tablets where we will have multiple users accessing the device, but want to limit what they can do on the device.
There is also a way to deploy custom apps for kiosk mode and I could see that working well as a time clock or point of sale system.
  • Kiosk Mode
  • Remote access
  • Ease of use
  • Savings on software
