I love the fact that I have many ways to deploy software and keep an accurate inventory for the 150 Windows computers I manage. I have real-time monitoring and tracking on how current and new deployments are going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I can't think of anything I dislike about PDQ. It's an all in one package that just makes my job so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

PDQ Deploy & Inventory was extremely helpful for pushing out various applications to our fleet of desktops and laptops. It was convenient and time saving pushing out applications without needing to physcially be near the terminals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

We were limited on PDQ resources since we were using the free version without a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I really like that the software is very simple and that it does not need much to start going. PDQ provides a lot of helpful videos on there YouTube channel, so for every problem I had, I found a solution there. I deploy nearly everything with it now and I like that it work across diffrent domains as well. I like that the packages such as Adobe are updated by PDQ regulary, so I do not need to search for new version and adapt them.

Also the error logs are easy to read and if something did not install the way I wanted, I know always what I need to change. The inventory option is also brilliant, especially, that I´m able to set my own variables and fill them automatically. This lets me creat whole automatic processes. Really love the software!

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I recently had a problem with the Service of PDQ Deply, that stopped every 3 minutes.

However, the new version fixed it and after this.

One minor thing that you need to take care of, is that if you work with diffrent credentials for a one time deployment, it changes the credentials for all other deployments htat follows.

If you forget to change it back, all automatic deployments run in to error.

This is annoying, because you cant set diffrent credentials for just one deployment and the others are unaffected by it.

Would appriciate if they change this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I have immediate access to real-time information for essentially every one of the PCs on our network. The ability to immediately update computers that have been off of the network for an extended amount of time is cruial for security and network uniformity.

One of my primary job functions has become "The PDQ guy" due to licensing restraints. I use both Deploy and Inventory numerous times every day and am able to have a great overall concept of how our computers are running company-wide.

The flexibility to find out pretty much any left field piece of information about any computer within seconds is extremely useful when planning projects and making new purchases.

This software has become absolutely indespensible to me over the past few years. I wouldn't take a bullet for PDQ, but I would take numerous punches in the face if needed without question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

While I'm sure there are some companies that only use one of the two products, it would seem natural for Invventory and Deploy to be condensed into one full-featured program instead of having 2 separate programs that need to talk to eachother. Being able to piggy-back PDQ connect onto that single unified program would be great.

While I think the pricing is fair, I don't love the licensing model. There are times where it would be convenient for my coworker to occasionally run a deployment, but his very limited usage wouldn't warrant doubling our PDQ expense. I understand that a line has to be drawn somwhere and this is likely better than a per-device model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

With PDQ we are able to visualize and coordinate maintenance of over 1600 devices between a relatively small and disparate IT support staff. By leveraging smart scans on inventory and automating deployments of crucial business software, we are able to eliminate time wasted on mundane, repetitive tasks, freeing up support hours for the more unique problems and most importantly allowing time to be proactive instead of reactive in our organization.

The ability to export and share content is also great, we have several groups using PDQ and we can share rules/filters/scans/reports very easily, so we can 'steal' things that work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

Being limited to only AD connected devices on our network is the only real complaint. We have a lot of off-site users that are not connected via SD-WAN or VPN so we don't get as much visibility or control on about 15-20% of our devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keaton Wagner of PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Thanks for the review, Shelby! Take a look at our new agent-based solution, PDQ Connect, to get at those pesky off-site users: https://www.pdq.com/pdq-connect/

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

By using PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory I have been able to automate a great number of tasks. The ability to deploy to automatically grouped devices has been a huge time saver. Finding computers by user is something I use every day, and being able to identify devices by what software is installed, or by model, etc. has come up more times than I can count over the last few years.

Not much I dislike about this software, there are limitations sure, but nothing I actively dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

The support. Whether it's a KB, a YouTube video, or an email, an answer for what I'm trying to do is 2 minutes away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

The interface is a little dated. The UX is fine, it's just very clear this was designed by people who use the product rather than someone producing Apple commercials. This is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keaton Wagner of PDQ Deploy & Inventory

I buried my Apple audition tapes deep in the earth for a reason. Thanks for the thoughtful review!

What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

We have used PDQ deploy for various task and it is infact the awesome tool to get things done faster. Collection of package libaraby is the best in PDQ Deploy which makes it easier to get common task done faster in Windows environment. Custome scripts are very easy to execute and hence we use it very frequntly to get job done and saved many ours from tedious time consuming tasks. Sales and customer support are good and resposing quickly. Tutorial avaialble on the site for various task is also very helpful in implemenation of any new task.
