Enrolling Devices Efficiently

Cortado allows you to add devices quickly and easily by logging into your central MDM console. Also, the straightforward and user-friendly interface makes it easy to add, configure, and manage your mobile devices fleet really easy. You can also set up and push the MDM profiles over the air to the device and even speed up enrollment by using Apple Business Manager or Android zero-touch enrollment. The push email, Wi-Fi & VPN Settings allows you to enable key features for the employees working on the go. The MDM console will enable you to define corporate email, Wi-Fi, and VPN settings for individual users, groups, or the entire enterprise. All settings are delivered over the air to the devices.

Deploying Apps Easily

Cortado allows you to select & manage any app and leverage the management capabilities of each operating system, like iOS and Android. Cortado MDM allows you to easily deploy any application without prior adjustments or additional management layers. The platform allows you to push apps over the air and manage app permissions and configurations centrally. All mandatory apps are deployed and automatically installed and managed on the assigned devices. Setting up an enterprise app store is also relatively easy with Cortado’s solution. It allows users to install the trusted app themselves through the dedicated enterprise app store available through the self-service portal.

Ensuring Data Security

Cortado ensures data security by defining passcode requirements and forcing encryption. It has a sophisticated password system that provides security even when passwords are entered in public spaces or during offline mode. Additionally, encryption of corporate assets on the device can also be implemented as an extra protection layer. You can set up restrictions for specific uses. For example, you can use policies to define permissions, like for the camera, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. With the use of these permissions, you can also restrict the download of attachments, access to app stores, and much more. The Cortado solution also gives you the capability to lock, locate & wipe devices remotely to prevent any unauthorized access. In addition, data on the device can be remotely wiped – either fully or partially for just the business data.

Cortado is a well-trusted mobile management provider. Some of the reasons why Enterprises use cortado MDM are:

Automatic Setup: Simple and straightforward. The central MDM console is automatically set up for you and is available within a few minutes of registration.

Native Device Management: Cortado allows a mix of different devices like Android and iOS under one console, making the management very easy, fully leveraging the MDM potential of each OS.

Policies for BYOD, COBO & Co.: You have the freedom of choosing BYOD, CYOD, COBO, COPE, or kiosk devices. You can easily create and implement corporate policies for each type of device according to your mobile strategy.

Separation of Business & Private Data: Deploying an app becomes easy as it becomes part of the secure business container and exchanges data only with managed applications. This keeps business data strictly separate from private data and under control.

Easy User Management: The group templates allow you to easily configure and manage MDM settings, policies, profiles, and apps for entire user groups. You can import users from the Windows Active Directory or add manually.

No Update Conflicts: Due to the native MDM approach, the compatibility of operating systems and app versions is ensured by both Apple and Google. This removes any conflict regarding app compatibility.
