IT admins can use SureMDM by 42Gears to remotely lock iPads down into single-application mode. Unlike the Guided Access feature built into iPads, which can only be activated one device at a time, SureMDM can remotely lock down many devices at once.
NOTE: This feature is available only for supervised devices. To learn more about Supervised Mode, click here.
