89 IGEL Testimonials

"Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of our employees did not understand the ability to work from home. This has become the biggest game-changer for our organization since adopting IGEL, Citrix and Microsoft. The flexibility afforded by the cloud workspace solution has enabled us to keep operating– and in some cases has saved jobs.”

"Employees are now located anywhere they want with their own working environment at their immediate disposal. The virtual desktops are designed with a Windows look and feel with Single Sign-on, with many applications immediately available to users. IGEL is superior in terms of manageability, which is reflected in the number of service calls, that has been approximately halved, since implementation.”

"We chose to partner with IGEL because they were able to meet our short list of needs – manageability, flexibility, scalability and security – while at the same time making it possible for us to leverage our existing hardware resources, which also helped to reduce capital expenditures.”

"I have had a number of the Leadership Team pull me aside to just say how great their new IGEL solution is. Faster and easier to use than their previous desktop. It was also mentioned how great it was to see something that they had approved at the Change Board being delivered in front of their eyes and to their benefi t in a matter of weeks. As one person said that’s real delivery.”

“Following the merger, we were able to have two icons on the device at startup; one pointing to Aberdeen Standard Investments and one to Standard Life’s technology infrastructure. This has been a huge benefit for our migration teams. They can deploy one IGEL managed device and not worry about which users will be using it and which technology infrastructure they need to connect through to.”

"The ROI with IGEL is tremendous. We don’t spend a lot of time supporting our endpoints. We ship out the IGEL device, the end-user plugs it in, logs into their desktop and begins working right away. It’s just that easy.”

"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 IGEL devices are smaller, faster to deploy, use less energy and are easier to use than the old PCs.”

“Even with our mixed set of up to 650 IGEL devices, management is simple and reliable.”

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.”

“Traditional PCs run up high maintenance and operating costs even though they are underutilized in terms of capacity. We don‘t need huge processing power at each workstation. By virtualizing both the applications and the thin clients, we have improved efficiency and are making both direct and indirect savings.”
