Let’s be honest—traditional enterprise endpoints are struggling to keep up. With constant news about security breaches and recent high-profile outages, it’s clear that the way most businesses manage their endpoints just isn’t cutting it anymore.
The Cloud is Changing the Game
As more companies move their apps to the cloud—whether it’s SaaS, DaaS, or VDI—the need for bulky, complicated endpoint systems is shrinking fast. Why spend hours troubleshooting and updating devices when cloud desktops can be backed up in minutes?
The recent CrowdStrike outage highlighted this perfectly, showing how much faster cloud-hosted systems bounce back compared to outdated endpoint setups that require hands-on fixes for each device.
It’s time to rethink how we handle enterprise endpoints. And for many, IGEL is leading that charge. Here’s what some users had to say:
- “Nice use case for IGEL now after yesterday. Our 10K Plus VDI using IGEL devices were not impacted. Saved our asses.”
- “Trying to get out of CrowdStrike Hell. Maybe Thursday. Upside is no IGEL impacts”
- “We did have a win with IGEL and AVD and was the only thing that stayed up and running along with a simple profile tweak and we were able to touch every machine in seconds”
The message is clear: if your endpoints are causing headaches, there’s a better way.
Why IGEL is the Endpoint Solution for Today’s Businesses
IGEL OS flips the traditional endpoint model on its head, offering a leaner, more secure option. Designed for the way modern businesses operate—whether it’s through SaaS, cloud or virtual environments—IGEL makes endpoint management simpler, cheaper and way more secure.
Here’s why IGEL stands out:
- Security That’s Built-in, Not Bolted On
IGEL’s read-only system means no malware can be installed, accidentally or otherwise. No data is stored on the device either, so if it’s lost or stolen, there’s no need for a panic-driven breach investigation. Add in a secure boot process and you’ve got a solution that protects you right from the start.
- Simplicity is Key
Say goodbye to running lots of different agents, backups and complex recovery processes. IGEL uses a modular approach, only installing what you need, when you need it. Less complexity means fewer headaches.
- Massive Cost Savings
No more constant updates, testing or troubleshooting. IGEL extends the life of your existing hardware, so you don’t have to keep replacing it every few years. In fact, businesses can save up to 75% on their endpoint budgets. That’s money that can be better spent on IT projects like moving to the cloud or implementing Zero Trust security.
- Future-Proofed for Modern IT
IGEL aligns perfectly with modern IT strategies like Zero Trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), ensuring robust security from endpoint to cloud. With integrations like Microsoft Intune and Conditional Access, IGEL helps prevent major incidents like credential theft and ensures consistent security across all devices.
- Sustainability for the Win
By extending hardware life and reducing energy consumption, IGEL also helps businesses lower their carbon footprint. This not only supports sustainability goals but also reduces electronic waste—a win for both the planet and your organization.
Adapting to a Hybrid World
As more businesses embrace hybrid work models, the need to rethink outdated endpoint strategies is more pressing than ever. IGEL OS is built for this shift, offering a solution that fits seamlessly into today’s cloud-driven environments, without the complexity or high costs.
The time for change is now. Moving away from traditional endpoints means freeing up time and resources to focus on what really matters—innovation, growth and staying ahead of the curve.
It’s time to leave behind the old ways of managing endpoints and embrace a more efficient, secure and sustainable approach with IGEL.
