89 IGEL Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

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

"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.”

"Once we tested the IGEL UMS all bets were off. We knew right away that with the superior design and infrastructure management capabilities afforded by the UMS, it would be possible for us to manage our entire network of thin clients here in the U.S. from our headquarters in Kansas City, and that was a big deal for us.”

"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“The endpoints were out of date and required replacing but we wanted a new solution which had multi-protocol capabilities.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.”

“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.”

“Looking for endpoints that were easier to manage and update from central location."

"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.”

"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.”

“The bank had been considering moving to centralized management of its Windows desktop environment for some time and the need to upgrade to Windows 7, because Windows XP was no longer going to be supported, was the perfect opportunity.”

"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."

"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.”
