Userful - Managed Desktops Done Right!

During testing, I installed userful under two conditions. Both installations went flawlessly. Userful software installs erasing the host computer's harddrive. Setup of this installation file takes approximately 12 gb of harddrive space.

The first installation to test the software was installed under VirtualBox. I often use VirtualBox and virtualize software or operating systems in order to see how they react under conditions where I can adjust memory. The VirtualBox installation went flawlessly with 512 mb of RAM.

The second installation was on a computer with dual core AMD processors with 2 GB of RAM and a 200 gigabyte harddrive. Once again, this software performed without error. With this installation, setup time was approximately 20 minutes.

Userful is full of features. The console allows for the customization of the users desktops, network information, printers, timers, most popular email, internet, universal access, USB, graphics and other great features. Although users may not be accustom to this GUI interface, it is very easy to use and loaded for this type of controlled environment.

The system administrator has complete control and can set internet filters and control each console.

One of the best features of this software is its ability to save electricity and money by combining multiple users into one piece of hardware. If the hardware needs to be upgraded 'down the road', the monitors, keyboards and mice remain and the acting 'server' can be upgraded at the cost of the tower only.

Performance of this software with this type of hardware setup is based on the hardware specifications of the computer you are using as a server. Using this software with the Linux 'backbone and soul' along with opensource software uses very little resources and creates a good user experience. Performance of this software left a good impression.

Investors in this turnkey solution can get a great return on their purchase if they have a specialized need for this software. Educational institutions, libraries, government, intenet cafes and other organizations can certainly benefit substantially from Userful's software.
