Appaloosa

What Appaloosa is

Appaloosa is a mobile device management service that lets organizations administer iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices from one console. It supports company-owned fleets, BYOD, frontline teams, and shared devices. Zero-touch enrollment options include Apple Automated Device Enrollment, Android zero-touch, Samsung Knox, and Windows enrollment. Administrators can deploy private and public apps, including silent installation on managed devices, and apply controls for passcodes, disk encryption, certificates, VPN configuration, security posture, and compliance. On macOS, Appaloosa can enforce FileVault and keep its recovery key encrypted in the console for retrieval by authorized profiles. Customer data is hosted in France on SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure.

Business costs €3.49 per device per month, starting at 50 devices. Enterprise costs €5.49 per device per month from 100 devices, with a custom quote above 500 devices. Enterprise adds SSO and directory integration, advanced security and compliance, priority support, dedicated onboarding, and four hours of admin-team training. Remote Support, Contacts Sync, and File Sharing cost an additional €1 per device per month on Business and are included in Enterprise. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card. BYOD is limited to iOS and Android; macOS and Windows are managed-only.

Who it suits

Appaloosa suits organizations managing mobile and desktop devices across company-owned, shared, and frontline deployments. It can also serve BYOD programs on iOS and Android, while organizations needing SSO, advanced compliance, and onboarding support can choose Enterprise.

Limits

Business starts at 50 devices and Enterprise at 100; Enterprise pricing above 500 devices is by custom quote. BYOD applies only to iOS and Android. Remote Support, Contacts Sync, and File Sharing are an additional €1 per device per month on Business and included with Enterprise.

Getting started

1. Open https://www.appaloosa.io/.
2. Start the 14-day trial without a credit card.
3. Choose Business from 50 devices or Enterprise from 100 devices.
4. Enroll devices using the supported Apple, Android, Knox, or Windows enrollment options.
5. Manage policies and distribute private or public apps from the console.

Verdict

Choose Appaloosa if you need centralized device management, app distribution, and security controls across mobile and desktop platforms. It is less suited to a BYOD fleet that includes macOS or Windows, and Business customers pay extra for Remote Support, Contacts Sync, and File Sharing.
