Apple Configurator and iPhone configuration Utility provide the similar function, but are used for different purpose.
iPhone Configuration Utility is available for both Windows and Mac OS, it is mainly for developer or advanced ios user, to install or remove app, or configure the device setting. One major usage is installing self-signed server root certificate for https connection. The installed root certificate can be used by both mobile safari and client application when establishing https connection. It can also be used to install client certificate (p12) for mutual authentication, but the installed client certificate can only be used by mobile safari and is not accessible by client application.
Apple Configurator is only available for Mac OS, it provides additional function than iPhone Configuration Utility, but it is more complex to use. It is mainly for small business or organization to manage and monitor multiple devices for multiple users as an alternative to other MDM system, so that users can share the same device but keep their own data when using it. Besides the profile and configuration management, it also provides functions of backup and restore per user account, iOS version update. For developers, if you only need to use it to install a profile to a single device, you can still do from "Prepare->Settings->Profile->Install Profiles..." menu, without putting the device under Supervise control.
Both tools do not provide the function of configure the individual application through NSUserDefault change listener as regular MDM server does.
