89 IGEL Testimonials

“The endpoints were out of date and required replacing but we wanted a new solution which had multi-protocol capabilities.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 have built a strong business relationship with IGEL. They are responsive to our needs, understand our business objectives and are flexible in their approach – in summary, an excellent company to do business with.”

"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.”

"Because there are very few or zero moving parts with the IGEL hardware, is very reliable. We’ve had only one failure out of more than 1,400 thin clients deployed since implementing IGEL more than two years ago. The German engineering is rock solid.”

"I also think it is important to note that IGEL has always been ‘all in’ with Strayer, working with us to develop and update the products to make them better to meet our unique needs and requirements. Endpoint computing is their main line of business and that makes a huge difference for us. Their competitors are not as focused and often behind in innovation."

“With the help of Citrix and IGEL we were able not only to optimize our existing financial and personnel resources but also, at the same time, to improve performance and ensure reliable IT operation.”

Repurposing the old hardware gave us exactly what we needed, at each center, even with many devices to deploy we were in and out within 30 minutes. The shift was basically transparent to the end users; and, for IT, created a single, homogeneous desktop landscape that is easy to manage with a simple drag and drop interface.”

“We chose IGEL for its simplicity and support. They delivered on that and much more.”

“Margins are tight, so we need to be creative about using technology to ensure the productivity of our skilled nursing staff. We have to continue to find new ways to move the dial without adding IT resources and containing IT spend.”

"If you put the time and eff ort to learn the UMS, it’s an excellent tool and makes life really easy. The beauty is you can make confi guration changes which can be rolled out to all devices in minutes not hours. For example, a fi rmware update can be remotely done or even set up to update automatically out of office hours when staff aren’t about."

"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.”

“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.”

"Compared to the fat clients, the administrative outlay is virtually zero and IT can concentrate more on the data center.”

“The first application we provided from the computer center with the help of Citrix software was the SP-Expert work scheduling program from Interflex Datensysteme.”

"We wanted a cost effective way to manage all of our devices."
