      I have 4 Samsung Android based tablets that are for corporate use. I would like to prevent the users from installing anything. Does anyone have a tool for lock down they like? I read about KioWare for Android on Spiceworks, but the posts were from 3 years ago.

        Doesn't Android already do this as default? Not got my pad with me now but I'm sure you can set restrictions and "users"

        If not then I guess you'll need some sort of kiosk type software

          @hobbit666 Even on the Android for business site, they refer you to 3rd party options for device management.

                Android tablets should be able to do this by default if they are relatively new.

                Look at the section that says "Restricted Profiles".
