Testimonials

See what some of our existing customers think of Impero:

"YES! I use it everyday and love it! Here is what I use it for:

• Sending a file to one or many students:
  Whether it is make-up or work or a worksheet, sending the file is often quicker and easier than email or the like. Plus it helps us stay green when we don’t have to print as much.
• Demonstrations:
  Not only do students respond better to having demonstrations being broadcasts right to their screens rather than the projector, it also helps students with visual problems see things more close up. I try to do the demonstrating less and allow the students demonstrate to each other. The option to pass control is great for having students work together to solve problems.
• Broadcasting school news:
  We have a laptop connected to the school tv network downstairs from my room. Before, I would have to go down there between classes to start the morning news. With Impero I can take control from my classroom.
• Impromptu Questions:
  After covering material, a quick spot check is dead simple by asking questions through Impero.
• Shutting down and turning on computers:
  Being able to shut down and start up all of the computers in the morning and end of the day is GREAT!"

Technology Teacher
Bate Middle School, Danville, Kentucky, USA.

"We have been using Impero software for a little over 5 months in our high school computer labs and are extremely pleased with its functionality and performance. As any education technology professional knows, monitoring the use of computer and Internet resources presents a cumbersome problem for a classroom teacher. Allowing students the freedom to explore these resources for educational purposes opens the door to many common problems: inappropriate behaviour, time-wasting activity, and exposure to unacceptable content.

Our classroom teachers prefer Impero to other monitoring software, as it provides many features beyond simple monitoring, has automatic blocking and recording of policy violations, and is extremely easy to use. Besides the real-time monitoring, teachers have been using the freeze and demonstration features. While the teachers love it, perhaps the biggest evidence of Impero's success is that students absolutely hate it! Students are forced to remain on task and exhibit acceptable behaviour on-line with minimal policing by the teacher. With Impero, teachers are able to concentrate on teaching and students can now focus on their learning."

"I have found that the Impero Software program offers applications that I have been wanting to purchase or am currently using. Useful functions, such as remote access, web filtering, and monitoring inappropriate communications are important to network and classroom managers. The Impero Software provides the functionality of a web filtering appliance. Administrator has the option to block inappropriate words or internet searches. The reporting tool catalogues a picture of the violation. The Impero Software provides the functionality of a classroom monitoring system. Impero Software can lock the monitors while a teacher is lecturing, or block the internet when students are testing. Impero also provides the option to display on all monitors the same display or to give an online test. For the IT administrator there is remote access to gain access to assist the computer user. Also available is a script program to prepare automatics installations of other applications. Take the opportunity to try Impero Software and I am sure you will find an application that will benefit your network and business."

Robbie Manning
Burgin Independent School, Kentucky, USA.

“Being a school district, we had looked at several solutions to better manage our workstations and student activity. Moving to Impero has provided just that. We are now replacing our former classroom management solution with Impero. This tool has provided our teaching staff valuable “peace of mind” and a favorable learning environment in our computer labs where the teacher has control and our technology Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is better enforced. We really like the discrete logging capability that Impero provides when a student policy violation is committed. The company offers great technical support for their product as well. Being in the IT industry for over 10 years, this is the best classroom management product I have seen yet. I highly recommend Impero Software.”

Jonathan Jones
Network Administrator, Hazard Independent Schools Kentucky, USA.

"Impero is a very powerful classroom and network management tool. It has empowered our teachers and lab managers to take back control of their labs and keep students on task. With Impero our instructors are able to control access to the resources the students need for the current assignment. As a network administrator I now have a centralized log to view. Before Impero I had to comb through multiple logs and write custom scripts to log information that was needed to troubleshoot and investigate various activities that took place on our network."

Jerrod Graybeal
Computer Operations Supervisor Grayson County Schools, Kentucky, USA.

"Impero allows our school district to monitor student use of technology for learning, remotely access workstations for technical support, and mine online/network data to make good decisions that benefit staff and students. Impero provides our technology team of four with the tools to accomplish the tasks of many more. Impero allows us to be proactive rather than reactive in our approach to network/Internet security and in student learning with technology."

Dr. Tim Smith
Frankfort Independent School District, Kentucky, USA.

"Impero is a definite time saver and superior lab management software. The software allows me to worry less about what the students are trying to hide and focus 100% on teaching. At the end of the day I can review the log file and see what is being accessed and update policies and create new ones as needed to help direct my class in a positive direction. The software has worked well for in class presentations, no longer do students have to strain to see what is being presented by another student using just a projector now they see it on each computer screen. The ability to talk with students about their work has opened my eyes to some students that were afraid to ask questions but using the chat feature they ask questions and have improved their work drastically."

Justin Smith
High SchoolCisco Academy / Programming Instructor, Metcalfe County High School, Kentucky, USA.

"Impero Software should be in every school system. Today students are more advanced in technology than most teachers, however, with Impero Software teachers control the learning environment. The software enables you to instruct, monitor and even chat all in real time. I have seen the benefits in our small school setting, I know it would be even more beneficial in a larger setting."

J.J. Everage
Paris Middle School
Paris, Kentucky, USA.

"Impero is a top-notch program. It has so many tools to help me monitor students. It has helped to keep students on task. I also really like the mimic scripts that allow me to shut down my entire lab at the end of the day. No more going around to each machine and shutting them down! Impero logs student violations (language, games, key words such as porn, etc) and takes a snapshot. It is a powerful tool."

John Van Meter
High School Web / Software Applications Instructor
Metcalfe County High, Kentucky, USA.

"This is the best software of its type I have ever encountered. It is easy to set up, a breeze to deploy and absolutely rock solid in operation. I have looked at and used a number of the competitors offerings but for pure power, value for money and ease of use this annihilates the competition. Teachers at ISCCB are over the moon with the level of control and management Impero gives them in the classroom and I, as ICT Systems Manager, am extremely pleased to find software that does exactly what it says it does. I can, and will, heartily recommend Impero to anyone who needs to easily manage their IT suites and internet access."

Mick Clune
The International School and Community College, Birmingham, UK.

"We have been using NETSupport School for a number of years now and were in the process of renewing our licence when I became aware of Impero. As soon as the trial started to be used it was clear that the product was much better suited to our requirements. The software will make a big difference as it is much easier to administrate than NETSupport and allows for specific staff members to be given only the monitoring rights that they need. Very impressed and will be recommending Impero without hesitation to others. The auto-recording of access violations and complete student logging are particularly nice features and ones which I am sure will prove their worth time and time again."

Tom Smith
Boston Grammar School, Lincolnshire, UK.

"We evaluated most classroom management products available on the market before making a decision on which one to buy. However only Impero was realistically affordable to us as a medium sized school, not only in terms of purchase price but also ongoing support costs. Deciding to buy Impero was not a cost compromise, it outshone it’s rivals in every department and offered additional functionality too. Try it and see"

Paul Bedford
Alderman White School & Language College, Nottingham, UK.

"What a difference Impero makes to your classroom management. The power of this tool is phenomenal. No more time wasters, internet chatters, password or log-on excuses, and gamers in your lessons. Just honest ICT work. Unless you decide otherwise, that is the power."

Steve Poulter
Henry Mellish School, Nottingham, UK.

"Impero has made a big change in the classroom. We can now only allow the students to browse certain websites. This is critical for us when teaching ICT as in the past the students would stray off task very quickly and browse inappropriate websites e.g. - gaming, email sites. Without Impero we would be lost. A well-designed interface allowed me to quickly understand how to use the program."

Charles Wilkinson
Big Wood School, Nottingham, UK.

"Impero has changed the way the pupils learn and has improved the behavior of pupils within ICT lessons. "on task" time has increased and pupils now know not to even try to get around Impero. A must for all schools that use ICT. Impero doesn't need to be used to restrict everything but its great to know you can if needed!"
