Overall Satisfaction with PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Gives me a good broad view of the computers on the network and what hardware and software comprise those units. Also allows me to push out either new or updated software from my desk without having to go to the device itself. The 2 products work hand-in-hand and you can use the information from the inventory software to guide your deployments by using dynamic groups.

Pros

  • Deploy updates to software like Adobe and Java
  • Show which computers are currently connected and turned on
  • Turn on computers that are off
  • Turn off computers that are on
  • View which hardware (RAM, HDD, processor, etc) is on each device

Cons

  • would like to see an adaptation for winget to be mass deployed
  • maybe add an automations section to their software
  • Low cost, good licensing structure
  • Able to hit the ground running and doesn't take a long time to learn the software
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.
Ultimately it was the overall cost that steered me toward PDQ rather than GFI. Happy with my decision and have no buyer's remorse.

Yes

Would you buy PDQ Deploy & Inventory again?

Yes

Very easy to use software that is licensed per admin instead of per machine. So, I've got it on my laptop and desktop and only pay for the 1 license. Great way to keep up with updates to both Microsoft and non-Microsoft software. Set up dynamic groups within the inventory module and then use those groups as targets and deploy updates to those targets. Use the inventory part to see what hardware your devices are running and get a better picture of the devices on your network. Cannot be used to deploy Windows itself, but they do have a separately licensed software package (similar to Norton Ghost, but capable of working with UEFI) which does that.
