For large, complex software deployments that have a number of install scenarios and executables that interact with one another, EMCO MSI Builder is well-suited. It is able to track software installs, registry changes, file additions, and deletions, modifying shortcuts and anything else that would be needed to prepare big deployment projects for large organizations.Incentivized
PDQ Inventory is great if you have a local network of computers on or off a domain. As long as you have a way to log into them with common credentials. Great for large organizations, particularly ones interconnected with VPNs. PDQ Inventory isn't so great for PCs that aren't connected to the same LAN the server is on. (i.e. non-vpn remote users) They used to have a remote agent you could install, but it was removed after numerous issues.Incentivized
Capture Customizations to settings/registry.Track File movement and additions during install for specific uses.Capture file and system level changes for inclusion in deployment.Incentivized

As good as there email support is.. would like a live operator optionSome updates are hard to understand when 5 versions of the same program existThats about it, PDQ deploy is the best out thereIncentivized
It is an easy and cost effective tool so it is an easy decision to renew.Incentivized
The interface is straight forward and guides you through the process there. PDQ keeps track of the when new updates are made available writes the scripts and all l you need to do is push the button. (Mr George Jetson) Now with the download done you just sit back worry free and watch the software install in 1% of the time it would take to take care of the PC manually.Incentivized
Support has always been quick to respond with additional information and clarification Incentivized
The built-in help menus and general ease of use render whatever systems support there might be almost irrelevant. There is stability in the system's simplicity; if you're in the position to use such a product, you're your own best friend. Simple web searches more often than not turn up the solution to any little niggles, such as what silent install switches specific applications require (a remarkably wide choice of options exist). System updates are timely and unobtrusive, installing in no time at all. Maybe I've just been lucky; if so, long may it continue!Incentivized
Provides advanced functionality for the enterprise level software deployment analyst over and above the basic tools that Microsoft included with the original APP-v sequencing tool, allowing the analyst greater control over what is captured and how it is captured. This makes the impact of needing to change the deployment package easier to maintain and update Incentivized
This software was referred to us by an IT professional. Previously, we were installing the software with the help of remote desktop applications but it was very time consuming; it was wasting the user's time since he could not use his computer. After testing PDQ Deploy, we just never looked back.Incentivized
It allows faster turnaround time for complex deployment projects.Easy to update existing deployment packages with changes.We must maintain the pristine virtual machine for usage.Incentivized
Speed of deployment is very positive for new software setup, saving hours of testing and deployment locallyMade patching for large computer estate very efficient, another positive for staff not having to spend hours of patching individual machinesWorks well for small team of IT's and again makes various repetitive tasks much easierIncentivized
