Likelihood to Recommend

PDQ Deploy is great for businesses where reaching a large number of remote computers is required for patching, setting up apps, or Windows tasks. It does it really well once you have created your deploy scenario with various steps where each will be logged in case of failure. PDQ Deploy may be unsuitable where multiple layer of security are in place on the computer you are trying to reach (although some steps can be taken to fix this on remote PC).
