89 IGEL Testimonials

"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.”

"With the IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients and UMS software, we are now able to immediately take advantage of the latest releases and enhancements from Citrix and other software providers due to IGEL’s timely product updates. They’ve put the power back in our hands in terms of how and when we want to roll-out our endpoint updates.”

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.”

"Having a non standard desktop environment was unsustainable for our small IT staff."

“We chose to partner with IGEL largely due to the management capabilities available through the IGEL Universal Management Suite. When we first began working with IGEL, the economy was still in recession and we needed to help Utah Community Credit Union do more with less, while at the same time prepare for growth as the economy improved. IGEL offered the best endpoint solutions for helping us achieve those objectives.”

"Providing critical technology and services to help the homeless."

“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.”

"Many of our employees are on the road and work outside office hours. If they need access to data and applications for their work, we facilitate a laptop that they can take with them and use at home. This would mainly apply to fleet managers and planners in the different countries. These laptops are often on the road, with no given return date to the office, but the performance and safety of the systems remains the responsibility of the IT team. “Certainly, in relation to planning and fleet management, these laptops must function properly; they are core parts of our services.”

"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.”

“The move to an end-toend virtual desktop solution, utilising IGEL thin clients supported by Citrix Xen Desktop, has allowed us to provide a high quality, highly effective way of working for employees at remote sites. The IGEL solution is the backbone of our flexibility and mobility project. It will cost less to own and operate, we will be able to work out how much will be used in terms of resources and the system can be expanded to meet the future needs of WDH.”

“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.”

"It didn’t take us long to realize that the IGEL UD Pocket was exactly what we had been looking for to provide our CAD students with secure access to their graphics-intensive design applications.”

"Our future plans include expanding the deployment into the front office, starting with our secretaries, where we hope to experience additional CAPEX savings by extending the life of their desktop computers.”

"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.”
