Testimonials

See what some of our existing customers think of Impero:

"We use Impero software at Frankfort Independent Schools and we are very happy with the results. We use Impero to monitor the users to keep them on task. The software is not only great for monitoring but is a great teaching tool as well. Our tech department uses the software for tech support and software installation. It is very user friendly and very easy to get up and running and the support that you get from the Impero support team is awesome. We highly recommend this software and plan to use Impero Software for years to come."

"We have been very impressed with Impero being able to 'drop in' onto pupils’ desktop to see what they are up to. The results have proved to be very interesting and resulted in several detentions and letters home to parents. Being able to block inappropriate windows is invaluable in making use of computers in school secure."

Karen Rawson
The Becket School, Nottingham, UK.

"The teaching and technical staff have been impressed by the features, reliability and ease of use of Impero software. We plan immediately to extend the use of Impero throughout the school. Impero has made a big change in the classroom. With the minimum of training, teaching staff can now manage resources to keep students on task. A well-designed piece of software."

Mike Martin
The Avon Valley School, Rugby, Warwickshire, UK.

"We would never consider teaching pupils in a room containing, footballs, chemicals, Bunsen burners, etc., with free access to all equipment. The distraction would be too great to allow serious learning. In an ICT lab, we do just that. We expect pupils to focus on, for example, the use of absolute and relative cell references in a spreadsheet, while providing them with access to the Internet, games, email, chat and so on. Impero can remove the distraction and help pupils focus on the task at hand by easily blocking out distracting features. No more smug looks from pupils thinking they are being clever in checking their email in place of doing the work the teacher has set. Impero enables the teacher in the ICT lab to do exactly what teachers have been doing in traditional classrooms for years, namely to create an environment where pupils focus on the task at hand with no distraction to learning."

Chris Davies
Epsom College, Surrey, UK.

"Impero offers tools, which transform the work of a teacher trying to manage a lesson in a computer suite. It puts the teacher back in control of the learning environment, allowing the children to be more focused and the teacher more confident in using ICT to support learning, rather than being dominated by the technology."

ICT Lecturer and Author

"I have found the Impero Software to be an invaluable classroom management tool. On the first day I used it, I sat at the computer and picked up immediately on students who were off task or on alternative programs. This has resulted in pupils being much more focused; always on task and consequently learning a great deal more. I am now able to help pupils much more on a one to one basis. Other pupils remain on task even though I cannot see them or their screens. They know I only have to glance at Impero to monitor them. It is also useful to pick up on pupils who are struggling (screens don’t change or they are getting left behind). As I said, an invaluable classroom management tool."

"Here at Ellis Guilford we are very pleased with Impero. It is so easy to use that our not so technically minded staff have no difficulty in it's use. I particularly like the function of powering down all of the PCs at the end of the day. The monitoring function is very good as is the screen locking capability. I would recommend Impero to anyone."

Janet Bailiff
Ellis Guilford School, Nottingham, UK.

"At Up Holland High School We use Impero to help staff monitor what the pupils are doing and to show the whole class a specific pupils screen. We also use Impero to help staff manage internet access and program access, so if a pupil(s) are playing games on a specific internet site that site can be instantly blocked or if they are using programs that the teacher doesn’t want the pupils to be using then they can also block that. Screens can be locked in order for a member of staff to approach a pupil about what it is he/she is doing at the time of a violation. Impero is a great way of monitoring your whole classroom at once but from an administrator’s point of view, all of the workstations that you currently have a license for can also be viewed. All in all Impero is a very useful piece of software to have on your network."

Andy Walker
Upholland School, Lancashire, UK.

"Having been frustrated by the complexity and lack of reliability of some of Impero’s (more expensive) competitors, I was delighted to find that Impero was not only easy to use for teaching staff, but also extremely effective in keeping students on task. None of the tricks that students had learned to bypass other network monitoring software work with Impero and the automatic upgrade and ease of installation mean that technical staff can simply install, configure and leave it alone. The facility to log all programs that have been run and all websites that have been visited has already led to some uncomfortable explanations from students, and word is getting round that it is just not worth wasting time in IT based lessons now"

Dave Leonard
The Matthew Moss High School, Rochdale, UK.

"I love the "garden wall" on the internet as well as banning access to programs! We have some programs that need to be installed that the students love playing on and will use instead of doing their work - now I can simply block those! Also fantastic that even if the kids reset the computer Impero still picks the computer back up again - the free package we had with CSE wouldn't do this and so the students found how to get around it!! My students are much more on task now - and intervention is at a much lower level - they don't seem to question the fact that the internet is banned now as they know they shouldn't have been on it anyway! ! You have actually made it enjoyable to teach ICT again - no more arguing with the students! Bliss!"
