Avis clients sur PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Efficace, rapide, sans interaction avec les clients

Il faut y consacrer du temps pour le prendre en main correctement

PDQ Deploy has been a great time saver for us. The wide range of deploying software makes installing, updating or patching quick and efficient without having to babysit each step of the process.

Understanding the layout of how the application packages are created and stacking multiple steps can be a bit confusing until you walk through a few different ones.

I thing PDQ Inventory is the easyest inventory tool ever.

We dont go to lastest version available because the new versions have dependency of higher .NET, and upgrade that just to follow PDQ is not that simple.

We've been using PDQ Deploy/Inventory for the past couple of years to manage our employee machines as well as our Windows servers. The ability to push out a new piece of software, or to patch older software with just a few click has been invaluable with how much time it's saved us.

With a lot of our employee's working from home during and now after the pandemic, one short-coming of the software is that there is a complete lack of management for remote devices. If the workstation is not on the "local" network with the PDQ server it is impossible to manage. Having an agent that phones home to the PDQ server and handles all tasks would be the ideal solution to this.

We like the fact that they create so many patches and software deployment packages on their end. It saves us so much time, and it just works. I haven't had a single issue with the software and it's very cost effective.

When we first set up the inventory scanning, we kicked it off and it almost locked up the server we installed the software on. We are a large environment so it doesn't surprise me, but it did take a long time, and I wasn't sure if it was going to work for awhile. We ended up leaving over a weekend to scan though, and it ended up figuring itself out.

The easy way to configure the deployments and schedule that to run automatically on time to time.

Do not have a client to install and not be able to monitor or deploy to clients outside of the network what nowadays is very normal with remote work.

The interface closely resembles MMC which I'm used to. It's super fast when searching for something in particular about a computer or computers. The reports are customizable and very useful.

I have no complaints about this software. It's amazing.

PDQ Deploy makes software deployment an easy task. Super powerfull tool to install programs and patch computers without bothering users. Best tool i've ever used.

No cons i can think of. Really, maybe ui can be a little more modern? but who cares?

Easy to implement and use. This project just works as intended. There is no hoops to jump through.

Does not have an agent, some scans take a while over a bad connection

Dead simple setup, with quite powerful tools.

Lack of remote client aside (Connect would resolve that) , lack of information for connection errors, and the basic reports with certain fields limiting other fields is quite annoying.

PDQ is an easy to use tool to scan machines for information on each machine as well as deploying apps. We use it with our deployments to segregate different builds for machines. The ability to deploy powershell scripts, install .exe files and copy files is amazing and very easy.We also calls PDQs API to deploy different things making it a central hub for app deployment. The future will be making a service that users can just call PDQ to deploy an app to them.PDQ connect has a lot of promise, which will allow us to deploy apps that are not connected to our network. Giving us more control beyondAnother plan soon will be to use PDQ for software license counts.PDQ was also easy to setup and migrate to a new server when we wanted to increase the specs of the machine it was on.

They are working towards it now, but the ability to deploy to machines beyond our network is amazing. Giving us information too and status updates on those machines so we can monitor them.Not a con but I do hope they continue adding to their PDQ inventory and API. A future request/project for us is to beable to use PDQ to keep an accurate license count of software. We have some long ideas but would love to use PDQ to keep tabs on everything for us rather than relying on basic data entry.

PDQ is a fantastic tool and one I'd demand to have if I was to start over somewhere else. Smaller/midsized companies this is a fantastic tool. The pre-baked deployments are great! I think with PDQ for deployments and patching, and MDT for imaging, I'd feel like I have my computer imaging and management well under control.

I'm a log nerd, and I do wish I could see more logging on what is happening on a deployment, and better reporting of it when its all done. There is logging built in, and maybe this is to my own fault of not configurating the software correctly, but I want to see steps and messages both for successful and failed deployments.

Honestly I use it every day, multiple times a day. I wouldn't want to work somewhere that didn't have this software. My life is so much easier. Quickly find and patch computers & push out software and updates. Pair this with PDQ Inventory and you're golden.

I've honestly never had a problem with this software and I've been using it for probably 7 years at least.

What made me look at PDQ was the cost. What made me keep using it was how flexible I could get with deployments when used in conjunction with their inventory product. You really want both of these to take full advantage and the cost still remains reasonable. It is easy to setup something like monthly patching using the packages that PDQ maintains and updates have it auto update these packages on your system after a delay period such as 7 days then push it out to all systems as they come online. We even use it to deploy out base packages on new PC builds as they come online.

There can be some quirks with a system being detected online and it is very important your DNS is accurate. My biggest con would really be that it does not do a great job with remote users because there is no agent on the device. This is being addressed though in a cloud version of the product.

I like the packages that are already built, I also like how easy it is to build a package into the program for deployment.

I really did not have any cons with this software, maybe a few more integrations.

I like the ease of implementing this product in an environment combined with it's affordability.

I can say confidently at this time that there is nothing I like the least about it.
