89 IGEL Testimonials

"After nearly a decade of use, the desktop hardware we were using was not only getting old, but it was no longer being supported. The main issue was that it uses Windows XP Embedded, so we needed to look at other devices.”

"In my view, the IGEL deployment with two displays has improved staff productivity and staff retention, because everything is now much easier for them to do. The staff love it and they are now free to interact with customers and provide the Druids Glen experience without barriers from their IT system.”

"The IGEL deployment has been a huge success for the college. It has been a complete game changer – just by moving to IGEL we have addressed so many problems."

“We have been working with thin clients for almost 15 years. When we switched to the cloud, we used thin clients by Samsung that ran Windows XP and Citrix. However, our new cloud environment did not provide any support for Citrix. This resulted in audio and video issues on the clients.”

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

"With a time saving from six hours to less than one hour, we will be able to expand our digital exam programme.”

"Other thin client solutions we had looked at required a significant amount of time and resources to manage and clone workstations. With IGEL, we recognized that we could save time and money due to the robust nature of the Universal Management Suite software, and that was a big selling point for us.”

“We use IGEL within many areas. Everything from the train workshops to general offi ce use. We also have some monitors out at the stations, which run on IGEL.”

"Our client took a significant hit from malware and the IGEL came to the rescue. Within a few hours, we had an entire department up and running on the IGEL Linux OS, and because we didn’t have to wipe the machines’ data, integrity on the hardware was maintained.”

"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.”

"Our new leadership team knows best-of-breed IT solutions are required to deliver a responsive online service, particularly to tech-savvy members. The public want things immediately, which requires infrastructure that is fast, secure and functional.”

"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.”

"Students love the new system. In the old Kilmarnock Campus, some of the PCs were nearing end-of-life and were about to be decommissioned. Now everything is a lot quicker and they get the same experience irrespective of the device. This means they can jump from one to another and it’s the same experience.”

“Installing traditional desktop PCs was initially considered but rejected as it didn’t give the freedom or flexibility for students to work. Instead, we’ve invested in a Citrix XenDesktop VDI platform to create an environment where students can log in from wherever they are to access their own personal desktop profile and applications.”

“The thin client really impresses us with its performance. It provides us a highly safe terminal platform in a reliable and compact case.”
