Buggier than the original

I would expect supervising a batch of 10 iPads to be pretty straightfoward, and reasonable to do on a Macbook Pro. It worked fine with the original Apple Configurator in 10.10 but that’s not the case here. When you go to supervise 10 devices and it only works on 8 then you attempt to supervise the 2 it missed and still end up with 1 device unsupervised it’s time to downgrade back to 10.10 and the original Configurator. I’m also not keen on having to quit and relaunch Configurator when I rename a device or want to get accurate updated information on it.

Additionally the removal of auto-sync (seriously Apple?) and the amount of additional intervention required to get this to work is pretty unbelievable. If you are working in a technical capacity and maintain iPads I can’t think of a single reason to recommend this in its current state. Feels like a big step backwards and that they are intentionally pushing you towards a full MDM solution.
