89 IGEL Testimonials

“We ran a development of the web application, which took longer than we thought. But for the actual roll-out of IGEL the switch was made at 66 places. At the same time we changed screens/ monitors at most of the places. We have about 40 local IT-supports, which are run from our office, who were out and did the change, and that took about 2 months, and for the most part the change went very quickly and easily. It went smoothly. For all the places we needed to update the firmware on all the thin clients when they were rolled out, and that also went very well.”

"Even though we didn’t plan the rapid migration of our entire firm to remote offices, we were successful in getting everyone working from home almost immediately with IGEL and Microsoft. We could not have hoped for a better outcome.”

"And, because IGEL and Citrix work very well together, the combination of the Linux-based IGEL OS and Citrix VDI makes a lot of sense for them.”

"Without it, we would not be able to function the way we do."

"IGEL’s superior management capabilities was a key selling point for us. Also, because the IGEL UDC software is designed to quickly and efficiently convert existing thin clients, desktops, and endpoints into IGEL Linux OS-powered thin clients, we knew that in selecting the IGEL solution, we would also realize a significant reduction in capital expenditures.”

“We need around 100 thin clients so that our therapists can play back recordings of meetings with adequate quality via the network or locally.”

"The IGEL solution not only met the requirements of Smallingerland in terms of hardware specifi cations, but with its Universal Management Suite (UMS) it also off ered the best management tool by far.”

“We studied reference case studies as well as undertaking our own tests of various thin client brands.”

“The bank had been considering moving to centralized management of its Windows desktop environment for some time and the need to upgrade to Windows 7, because Windows XP was no longer going to be supported, was the perfect opportunity.”

"Historically the municipalities – which are each relatively small - had their own IT departments, budgets and infrastructure. Creating a shared ICT service for them has meant they can punch above their individual weight in terms of the quality of enterprise technology purchased. Day to day IT management has also been simplified and made more efficient. Given the considerable investment made, our ambition is to grow and support other municipalities, public sector and not for profit organizations in the southern part of the Netherlands.”

“The endpoints were out of date and required replacing but we wanted a new solution which had multi-protocol capabilities. This served two functions – to allow us to transition to VMware’s Blast Extreme, but also to run a dual protocol environment so that we could stage the migration in our own time. IGEL OS and UD3 endpoints offer this capability.”

“We’re running about 800 applications within the municipalities – around 200 are already web-based SaaS solutions, others are legacy systems over a decade old. Our goal is to give safe access to these SaaS apps directly from IGEL so as to reduce the amount of costly hardware required to underpin VDI whilst also making it faster for staff to access systems as they avoid the time delay logging into Horizon.”

"The bottom line is we delivered a two-year project in weeks. That’s because of IGEL OS, the ease of management of the whole environment, plus the hard work of our IT department and logistics teams. People have been able to work pretty much as normal off ering the kind of customer service that our clients expect. It’s been fabulous.”

“When we started looking at how to deliver WFH, we considered purchasing more laptops. The business had about 1,200 but we struggled to buy more – to cater for 4,500 employees – given the increase demand for laptops from organisations globally. And as many staff didn’t have appropriate endpoints at home, this drove us to look at how we could repurpose our existing estate of PCs which were now sitting idle in the office.”

"Transitioning to IGEL OS could not have been easier for our call center team. IGEL offered full support, making life simpler for our IT staff.”
