1. Enumeration is older and its there from JDK1.0, while iterator was introduced later.

2. Iterator has a remove() method while Enumeration doesn't. Enumeration acts as Read-only interface, because it has the methods only to traverse and fetch the objects, where as by using Iterator we can manipulate the objects like adding and removing the objects from collection e.g. Arraylist.

3. Iterator is more secure and safe as compared to Enumeration because it does not allow other thread to modify the collection object while some thread is iterating over it and throws ConcurrentModificationException. This is by far most important fact for me for deciding between Iterator vs Enumeration in Java.
