User Testimonials
	PDQ Connect	PDQ Deploy & Inventory
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized NA Nick Axelberg Network/Technology Director Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	The scripting part could benefit from samples / examples Deployment scenarios could be included for ease on first use Including Inventory directly within Deploy would be great Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Usability	No answers on this topic	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.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I have not had to use PDQ Deploy support's process. In terms of the actual application, I haven't found an exe, msi or script that I can throw at it that it can't handle. Being able to call the config file for Office is an especially useful feature.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	The only other product on the market is Ninite, the major disadvantaged of Ninite you need to build you own packages and scripts for deployment. I would much rather download the packages and manager the software in this fashion then to take all of the time to do it Ninites way. I would need to go find and keep update date in the industry when a vendor updates something... I have not time to do this Please Choice PDQ. Incentivized Jim Ryan IT Manager Read full review
