Description
Apple Configurator makes it easy to deploy iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV devices in your school or business.
Use Apple Configurator to quickly configure large numbers of devices connected to your Mac via USB with the settings, apps, and data you specify for your students, employees, or customers.
Apple Configurator features a flexible, device-centric design that enables you to configure one or dozens of devices quickly and easily. Simply select a single device or many at once and perform an action. With Apple Configurator, you're able to update software, install apps and configuration profiles, rename and change wallpaper on devices, export device information and documents, and much more. You can also inspect any device to see details like serial number and hardware addresses, which apps and profiles are installed, and its console log.
Apple Configurator integrates with device enrollment and purchasing in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager to seamlessly distribute apps from the App Store. The all-new Prepare assistant makes it easy to supervise and configure a cart of iPads for the classroom or quickly enroll a large number of devices in your MDM server for ongoing management. The built-in configuration profile editor supports creating and editing profiles with the latest iOS settings.
If you’re configuring devices in an environment where consistency is critical, Blueprints allow you to create a custom configuration for your devices that can be applied with one click. A Blueprint is a template device to which you add configuration profiles and apps and perform actions, just like you would to a connected physical device.
Fully automate Apple Configurator and integrate its capabilities into your existing device management workflows using the included command-line tool, AppleScript scripting library, or Automator Actions.
Support for iCloud Drive enables you to keep your configuration profiles and other settings consistent across multiple Configurator stations.

Ratings and Reviews
Horizontal scrolling..?!
I was looking for an easy way to arrange the icons on my iPhone using my Mac, since iTunes (where you used to do this) is no more. I found Apple Configurator, which promised to deliver.
But boy, it just doesn't!
If you have "too many" iPhone app pages and want to scroll horizontally, you can't. Well, at least not if you don't have Apple's own mouse or trackpad. There are no scroll bars and no keyboard command will make you go right or left. What an insane GUI decision.
And the process of moving apps between app pages, or even on the same page, is not working well. It's very hard to aim correctly, even when zoomed in. And sometimes the app refuses to go into a folder.
Right now, it's just easier to move the apps on the iPhone directly than trying to use this software...
Its notready
It does not feel ready. When trying to modify the homescreen it fails if you zoom, if you tries to move screens etc. Later on when you apply the changes only a fraction of the changes are applied on the phone leaving all in a mess.
It mostly doesn't work
Trying to manage ATV 4K is a horrible experience. Nothing ever just works. On top of that a bit confusing. But that wouldn't be such a big problem if only the devices just would show up without several computer restarts etc. Very buggy, still, and has been for a long while. Tried it several times, several environments and network setups.
