Q: Configurator 1.7.2
Was curious to know if anyone has any comments on Apple Configurator 1.7.2.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jeff,
We have been using Casper to manage our OS X and iOS devices. Casper has been great... highly recommended. Apple Configurator has its limitations, but it is the only supported tool for the "shared" model. By using Configurator with Casper we are able to do pretty much everything we want to do on our fleet of iPads. That being said, I am very excited about the future of Apple Configurator and the upcoming capabilities that MDM's will have.
But until then, if you are planning a shared model deployment use Apple Configurator. If you are planning a one-to-one deployment, use an MDM with Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and Volume Purchase Plan's Managed Distribution (VPP MD). With a one-to-one deployment, you don't need to use Apple Configurator at all.
Hope this helps!!
