Miradore Management Suite vs. PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Miradore Management Suite is very useful for organizations with a dozens of mobiles devices, like smartphones and tablets. I think if you need to implement security policies this is a good software. But, I think if you are in a company with a small number of devices or you don't have strict security policies, maybe another software could be more appropriate.

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 is very useful and one of the tools that we use a lot.

Logical - If I want to do something with the software, it is quite clear on how I need to go about that. There isn't some weird process that is proprietary to just that vendor and is counterintuitive. What I want to see is displayed with just a couple clicks.

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!

Miradore Management Suite is a little more expensive than SOTI , but Miradore Management Suite supports more type of devices. Also, Miradore Management Suite has remote support and data loss prevention, SOTI does not have these features. We prefer the Miradore Management Suite's GUI against SOTI, and Miradore Management Suite offers a wide range of reporting in order to have enough information about devices usage and take decisions.

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.

• Improved security
• Reduced IT costs, optimization of your IT staff
• Reduced cost of software deployment

Incentivized

• 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
