89 IGEL Testimonials

"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.”

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

“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.”

“When I took up my new position, I discovered a highly heterogeneous working environment which required a considerable amount of administration.”

“The IGEL operating system is very stable, requires virtually no maintenance and hardly ever needs to be updated. The Linux-based software thin clients also require no antivirus programs which would need to be updated.”

"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 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."

"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.”

“People had their favorite system and if they couldn‘t use it, they had to choose a different workplace and adapt the settings to their own preferences. That takes time - and can go wrong.”

"One of the best things about IGEL is its manageability and flexibility. Like any other technology solution, it can do a million things. However, we needed it to do about 100 things well, and IGEL delivered with flying colors. In less than 24 hours we were able to stand up a server, launch the IGEL Universal Management Suite console, and begin managing our fleet of remote endpoint devices. It was that simple.”

"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.”

“Given that our workload was increasing, we began thinking about how we could permanently minimize operational tasks about two years ago. We also wanted to have more time for strategic tasks in the future.”

"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.”

"To reap the benefi ts of desktop virtualisation you need a strong thin client solution, and that solution is IGEL thin clients and its management suite.”
