Thus far it is working great and a couple of the faculty use the laptop connection and love it. It is a great way to control what the students see on their screens, especially in a large capacity room. I would not go with anything else. We have been using LINK System since 1998.
S. Hudgins-Summtrahall, ABD, East Central UniversityManager reduced the number of service order requests by 35% just in one month allowing all employees to focus on providing effective and efficient public services.
Burgas MunicipalityWe have the ability to see exactly where all our PCs are - and with DNA pro-actively finding new devices on the network, it has been a real time saver.
Dominic Parckar, DawleysWe have used LINK Systems from Applied Computer Systems here at SUNY Oneonta for many years in several computer labs. They have had the desired effect of giving the instructor control of the student monitors, so the instructor can focus student attention where he or she wants it. The system is very intuitive to use and so, requires little to no training. These systems have been very dependable and for the few times we've needed it, ACS support has been very good. We are currently in the process of converting from the hardware based LINK systems to the ACS SoftLINK software based system and are having the same success with that.
Mr. English, SUNY OneontaWe were lacking the ability to monitor our student(s) while on desktops. Teacher(s) would have to walk around the classroom to keep our student(s) on task. It was difficult for a teacher to tell whether a student was following along with class work or surfing the internet and visiting non-related school approved websites. With the implementation of SoftLINK our teacher(s) can now monitor all student workstations from their desktop. The content filtering has been awesome for us. The student(s) are definitely kept on task. Our teachers get a lot of use out of SoftLINK's other features also. I would say Applied Computer System's service and technical support would definitely be a 10+.
Mr. Fallis, Crow Creek Tribal SchoolsThe features that really attracted us are the phrase matching and USB controls, both of which are much improved over our previous system, and the price being half what we were paying!
Matt Furneaux, Humphrey Davy SchoolNotify is easy to use and the messages are clear. People do not miss it unless they are away from their desks.
Monroe County GovernmentIt is a great way to notify users of system issues and know that you have got direct visibility on their screens. We previously used e-mail to send alerts, but we were not always sure users read them in a timely manner, not to mention the extra workload on the e-mail system.
Rentenbach Inc.The LINK Systems are still going strong, and if asked, can highly recommend them. However, with our ever decreasing budgets, I doubt we'll be able to upgrade any time in the near future. The big problem with making a good product: They last too darn long!
Mr. Jung, San Mateo Adult SchoolNotify has been a valuable tool for us to ensure that in the event of a "lockdown" incident, we're able to instantly communicate with users across the academy to ensure that everyone remains safe.
David Runnals, East Wickham Primary AcademyI love the simplicity of this software to quickly compose and send messages to users and computers across school.
Richard Pugh, St. Anselm's Catholic Primary SchoolWe use Notify as it is the quickest way to communicate with staff when we need to. It just works!
Sutherland Smith, Trinity SchoolThe product deployed very easily and without any disruptions to users. The first they were aware of it was when the message first popped up!
Arden's Fine FoodsWe use it every class and often for in-house presentations. It is a key element of QuickPen's training program.
Mr. Blair, QuickPen InternationalExcellent software for pushing critical notifications out to staff.
Farmers State BankNotify is extremely easy to use and train staff on the ability to send alerts.
St. Joseph's HealthWe chose Notify as it fits the bill entirely, allowing us to distribute the console to several departments who can send targeted notifications with different priority levels.
Kettering General HospitalWe were looking for a management tool to enhance instruction and to allow the monitoring of students as they work. We tried several network systems but found the intensive graphic requirements of the cad and 3D solid modeling software made the video response too slow.I saw the LINK System used at a local college, that was all it took. I knew I had to have it! The ability to focus each student on their own screen during direct instruction is invaluable. The ability to take control of the student station from the teacher station is important. If a student has a question there is no need to go to that station. If you would like to use that student’s screen for helping or instructing other students you can transmit that individual student’s screen to all the other student stations. We have used the LINK System since 1999. Applied Computer Systems is excellent. Their customer service is second to none! They are prompt, and courteous. If you call with a problem, they will do whatever it takes to solve that problem.
Mr. Wright, Bloomfield Central School DistrictI've used Manager every working day for over 15 years, I couldn't support my customers without it!
Granero Data SystemsNotify is an easy way to reach all our employees.
