Cortado MDM

What Cortado MDM is

Cortado MDM is a cloud service for centrally enrolling, configuring, and managing iOS and Android devices through an administration portal. It supports Apple Automated Device Enrollment, Android zero-touch enrollment, and Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment, as well as QR codes, Apple Business Manager, and Android Enterprise. Administrators can deploy and automatically update apps, use kiosk mode to limit devices to selected apps, and distribute Exchange, Wi-Fi, VPN, or other profile settings to devices or groups. The console can remotely lock or wipe devices or work profiles; location is available only for fully managed devices. Subscriptions are paid, with pricing on request, and each includes a 14-day trial that expires automatically without requiring payment details. Plans are available monthly or annually, with reduced rates for annual contracts. All plans include technical support in English and German. Cortado says its GDPR information covers German data-center operations, role-based administration, data minimization, separation of business and personal data, and a data processing agreement.
