Quick installation:

A wizard helps you during the installation procedure. You can connect external database systems as an alternative to the integrated database.

Straightforward management at the click of a mouse:

Most hardware and software settings can be changed with just a few clicks.

Standardized user interface:

The UMS user interface is similar to that for local device configuration. The additional remote management functions give the administrator complete control in the familiar, proven environment.

No scripting:

Although scripting is supported, you will only need it for managing the device configuration in the most exceptional circumstances.

Asset management:

Automatic capturing of all your hardware information, licensed features, and installed hotfixes.

Commentary fields:

For various customer-specific information such as location, installation date, and inventory number.

Support for numerous operating systems:

The UMS Server can run on many common versions of Microsoft Windows Server and Linux.

Access independent of the operating system:

The UMS Console runs on any device with the Java Runtime Environment. The UMS Web App can be opened on any supported browser. 

Encrypted communication:

Certificate-based TLS/SSL-encrypted communication between remote management servers and clients to prevent unauthorized reconfiguration of the devices.

Failsafe update function:

If a device fails while the update is in progress, e.g. as a result of a power outage or loss of the network connection, it will still remain usable. The update process will then be completed when the device next boots.

Based on standard communication protocols:

There is no need to reconfigure routers and firewalls because the UMS uses the standard HTTP and FTP protocols.

Support for extensive environments:

The IGEL Universal Management Suite can be scaled to accommodate several thousand devices.

Group and profile-based administration:

The devices within a given organizational unit can be administered easily via profiles. If members of staff move to another department, the administrator can change the settings with a simple drag-and-drop procedure.

Trouble-free rollout:

If you configure default directory rules, IGEL OS devices can be automatically placed in a required directory, e.g on the basis of the relevant subnet. The devices will automatically receive the configuration settings that you have defined for this directory.

Comprehensive support for all configuration parameters:

Most IGEL device settings, e.g. device or session configurations, can be changed via the UMS user interface.

Transferral of administrative rights:

Large organizations can authorize a number of system administrators for different control and authorization areas. These administrative accounts can be imported from an Active Directory.

Planning tasks:

Maintenance tasks can be scheduled to take place during the night so that day-to-day operations are not disrupted.

VNC shadowing:

Members of the IT support team have remote access to device screens, enabling them to rapidly identify problems and demonstrate solutions directly to users.
