    GoGenuity is great when someone wants a one-stop solution for all their needs, it has everything gelled in together so that you do not have to go to different vendors and buy different solutions. They have a very good telco service, they themselves provide SIP trunks, their billing is amazing & the best part is everything is on the cloud and can be easily managed/accessed with great security.

    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.

    PDQ
    • The facility to attempt re-deployment can be a bit easier to use, however, once you get used to it, it is OK.
    • The errors that it produces can be a bit cryptic, so could do with some sort of a verbose mode, when logging issues with packages being deployed.

    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.

    PDQ
    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!

    It was the price point and the quick support when i hit a block. compared to other vendors the price can get steep and they even limit you on the amount of assets you can hav. with genuity it's one price with no limits. And you can track vendors , contracts

    PDQ
    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.

    • Speed of deployment is very positive for new software setup, saving hours of testing and deployment locally
    • Made patching for large computer estate very efficient, another positive for staff not having to spend hours of patching individual machines
    • Works well for small team of IT's and again makes various repetitive tasks much easier
