Esper

Esper is a device management platform that applies DevOps practices to fleets of dedicated hardware such as kiosks, digital signage, point-of-sale terminals, handhelds, and IoT edge devices. The company coined the phrase 'DevOps for devices', and its differentiator from traditional mobile device management is automation and staged rollouts: Esper's Pipelines let teams define a deployment flow that pushes app, content, and operating-system updates to devices in controlled waves with health checks and automatic rollback, and Blueprints define a desired device state that every device is kept in compliance with, so drift is corrected automatically rather than device by device. It provides a cloud API and SDKs so device management can be wired into a company's existing CI/CD systems, along with remote debugging, monitoring, and provisioning tools. Esper supports Android as well as iOS, Linux, and Windows for dedicated-device use cases. It is aimed at companies that ship physical products running software or operate large deployments of company-owned devices and want to update and monitor them as reliably as they update cloud services. Esper is sold as a paid subscription priced per device, with tiers that add the advanced pipeline, compliance, and integration capabilities.
