We\u2019ll now take a closer look at what the terms mean and what advantages and disadvantages the concepts have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-byod\"><strong>What Is BYOD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring Your Own Device, BYOD for short, means employees can use their private smartphones and tablets for work. It\u2019s clear that this approach doesn\u2019t manage the entire device or private user data. Therefore, consistent separation of private and business data is the basic requirement for this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized wp-image-1178\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BYOD-workprofile-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"BYOD vs a COBO device.

Documents in managed apps can only be opened by other managed apps. If necessary, all business apps and documents can be remotely deleted from a user\u2019s device. A set of device policies can also be crafted for the user and his device before being rolled out over the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BYOD therefore makes it possible to ensure strict separation of business and private data fully in accordance with GDPR standards. In our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortado.com\/en\/resource\/enterprise-mobility-eu-gdpr\/\">GDPR whitepaper<\/a><\/strong>, we explain in more detail how you can ensure that mobile devices are fully compliant for business use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-byod\"><strong>What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of BYOD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BYOD is a good option for companies that want to avoid high acquisition costs for mobile devices. In addition, you provide your employees with a high degree of autonomy, as they decide which devices they prefer to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, BYOD poses the challenge of having to manage more varied devices at once. A highly adaptive MDM solution is needed here; one that can handle this platform and version diversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, companies should question whether it is sufficient to only have partial control over each device from a security viewpoint. Some must severely limit the degree of worker freedom due to the sensitive nature of their work. For such a scenario, BYOD would obviously be unsuitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-cobo-and-cope\"><strong>What Are COBO and COPE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the previously mentioned category applies to you, you would be better off with company owned devices and a concept that manages the entire device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two common management approaches.  Corporately Owned, Business Only \u2013  often referred to as COBO \u2013  is suitable for devices that are used exclusively for business purposes and remain the property of the company. Corporately Owned, Personally Enabled, or COPE, is suitable if personal use is also permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-cobo-cope\"><strong>What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of COBO \/ COPE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of devices are suitable for employees which have access to particularly sensitive company data because a much greater degree of control can be placed on the devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company retains complete control over all apps on the device, the data and the device itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, an homogeneous device pool can also be maintained by offering only specific devices for selection. This is useful when it comes to software and app updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price for this is reflected in the high purchase costs for devices. It must also be taken into consideration whether employees really enjoy working with the device and are prepared to constantly have at least two devices in their pockets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comparing-platforms-byod-with-android-and-ios\">Comparing Platforms: BYOD with Android and iOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With BYOD, your employees are likely to own both Android and iOS smartphones. These two platforms are recommended for BYOD and allow for easy implementation. Other operating systems make implementation more difficult, meaning its best to stick to just these two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As explained in our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/android-device-management\/\">starter guide to Android device management<\/a><\/strong>, Android devices use a dual-persona approach to separate business from personal on devices. All personal applications run in the context of their own user profiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business applications have their own, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/android-work-profile-setup-benefits\/\">separate profile<\/a><\/strong>. The separation between business and personal data is indicated to the user by a suitcase symbol. Once they are used to an application being duplicated on the device, once with and once without a suitcase symbol, most of our customers find this separation sensible and unambiguous. This makes this mode particularly suited to the BYOD use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/user-enrollment-apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple also uses two profiles on the device<\/a><\/strong>. When the device is integrated into an MDM solution, an MDM profile is placed on the device and all company-specific settings like applications, restrictions, and profiles are attached to it. In contrast to Android, communication between the two profiles is not prohibited here. Thus, business and personal applications can exchange data among themselves. This \u201cinter-app communication\u201d can be controlled with an MDM solution. Cortado\u2019s approach of the flexible native container is useful here because any applications can be managed so that they have a separate personal environment and business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We rate both platforms as equally good for BYOD strategies. In combination with an adaptive MDM solution like the Cortado MDM, even highly fragmented device pools pose few problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cobo-cope-with-android-and-ios\">COBO \/ COPE with Android and iOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recommendations in the COBO\/ COPE sector are just slightly more one-sided. Both platforms offer a separate mode, \u201csupervised\u201d on Apple and \u201cfully managed\u201d on Android devices. On both platforms, the MDM administrator is the highest administrator and has full control of the device. The intervention possibilities are many and various and should be selected with care in any case. Nevertheless, we see Apple as being slightly ahead in this area. This has nothing to do with the security or usability of the platforms. Here, both are on the same level. But we prefer Apple&#8217;s supporting platforms <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/managing-devices-with-apple-business-manager\/\">Apple Business Manager, as explained in our complete guide<\/a><\/strong>, over Google&#8217;s equivalents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Business Manager includes two great tools. The Device Enrollment Program facilitates fast and easy rollout of company devices \u2013 straight from the packaging and without an administrator laying hands on it (Android offers this too, called <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/android-zero-touch-enrollment-how-it-works\/\">zero touch enrollment<\/a><\/strong>). This means that even large quantities of devices are rolled out in no time at all. Complementing this is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/managing-devices-with-apple-business-manager\/\">Volume Purchasing Program<\/a><\/strong>, which makes the bulk purchasing of apps and their deployment in the enterprise extremely simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-choosing-a-concept\"><strong>Conclusion: Choosing a Concept<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you decide to opt for BYOD, COBO or COPE \u2013 all concepts lead you to the goal of increased productivity for mobile employees. What\u2019s more important though is how much control does the organization wish to retain in its approach to mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-BYod-COBO-Device.png\" alt=\"BYOD or COBO in the Cortado Console\" class=\"wp-image-1823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-BYod-COBO-Device.png 602w, https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-BYod-COBO-Device-300x243.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Cortado MDM creates an Android \/ iOS BYOD or COBO \/ COPE device, and a mix of both concepts is also possible.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For either approach, make sure that your MDM and MAM solution fully meets the requirements of your concept. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortado.com\/en\/products\/mdm\/\">Cortado MDM<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;supports both approaches with powerful MDM and MAM capabilities.
