Cortado MDM review
A focused cloud MDM for Apple and Android enrollment, control, apps and BYOD.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cortado MDM is a cloud-based mobile device management platform for companies, teams and freelancers managing Apple and Android devices. It supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Android, with centralized configuration, over-the-air profiles and certificates, business application distribution, kiosk restrictions, remote locking, wiping and location, and business/personal data separation. Enrollment options include QR code, Apple Business Manager, Apple Automated Device Enrollment, Android zero-touch, Android Enterprise and Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment. It fits BYOD, COPE and COBO deployments, from core device administration to managed app and content workflows.
The plan structure moves from basic administration to broader controls and support. Basic includes a basic MDM management portal, basic user portal, one admin and technical support. Pro adds advanced management, a full-featured user portal, five admins with role-based rights, self-hosted apps, Mobile Asset Manager and Mobile Content Manager. Enterprise adds full-featured portals, unlimited admins with role-based rights, priority technical support, Microsoft Entra ID synchronization and Mobile Content Manager Plus. All paid plans use contact-sales pricing, and a 14-day trial is available. Teams comparing tiers should focus on administrator scale, content management and identity synchronization rather than device enrollment alone.
Cortado MDM’s ecosystem fit is a central strength. It connects with Apple Business Manager, Apple Automated Device Enrollment, Apple Volume Purchase Program, Managed Google Play, Android zero-touch enrollment, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment, Samsung Knox Service Plugin and Microsoft Entra ID. The feature set is broad within mobile management, covering deployment, configuration, applications, kiosk use and remote actions without extending beyond the listed Apple and Android platforms. Choose it when those ecosystems match your device estate and you want cloud delivery with BYOD separation. Organizations needing wider platform coverage or publicly listed pricing should consider an alternative.
