PDQ Connect
PDQ is an endpoint management platform designed for IT administrators and sysadmins. Manage, secure, and automate endpoints across remote, hybrid, and on-site environments. Manage your organization's Windows and macOS machines from a central platform designed to make the grind of everyday IT workflows seamless and the thorny why-the-hell-isn’t-this-working issues easier to diagnose. Core capabilities include patch management, vulnerability remediation, remote desktop access and monitoring, and software deployment. In short, the stuff you actually tell us to build. Just look at our Discord. Vulnerabilities are continuously detected and prioritized using real-world exploit activity in addition to CVSS, enabling remediation based on real, not theoretical, business risk. Patch both Windows OS and over 1,000 Windows and macOS packages from a hand-built library sourced directly from publishers, virus-scanned, stripped of nonsense, and typically updated within hours of a new release. PDQ pre-built workflows and automations are running within minutes of onboarding, but most of our sysadmins combine custom multistep packages, advanced PowerShell scanners, dynamic device groups, vulnerability automations, and a community-shared script library to create an end-to-end system tailor-built for their situation, reducing what was once days into minutes. And for when all else fails, PDQ ships with a native device-level diagnostics and a remote desktop tool that fires up quickly to help you diagnose, fix, and move on, whether you’re dealing with an x64 Lenovo or an ARM Macbook Pro. Multi-tenant support allows IT teams managing multiple environments to operate from a single console. Real-time, event-driven automation allows IT teams to execute workflows based on device state and predefined conditions — deployments trigger the moment a condition is met, without waiting for a scheduled window. Offline device deployment queuing ensures no device is skipped regardless of connectivity at the time a deployment runs. And where compliance, regulatory, or org policy requires, PDQ’s core deployment and patching capabilities can also be deployed as an on-premise, agentless solution. PDQ is SOC 2 certified and includes security features including MFA, role-based access controls, encryption, and audit logging to support compliance requirements. Pricing is publicly available and supports self-service purchasing without requiring a sales call. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
