5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

The support. Whether it's a KB, a YouTube video, or an email, an answer for what I'm trying to do is 2 minutes away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

The interface is a little dated. The UX is fine, it's just very clear this was designed by people who use the product rather than someone producing Apple commercials. This is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I buried my Apple audition tapes deep in the earth for a reason. Thanks for the thoughtful review!

"PDQ Deploy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

We have used PDQ deploy for various task and it is infact the awesome tool to get things done faster. Collection of package libaraby is the best in PDQ Deploy which makes it easier to get common task done faster in Windows environment. Custome scripts are very easy to execute and hence we use it very frequntly to get job done and saved many ours from tedious time consuming tasks. Sales and customer support are good and resposing quickly. Tutorial avaialble on the site for various task is also very helpful in implemenation of any new task.

"The Only Set of Tools Like This"
5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

It's really awesome to use. It's easy to set up, and it syncs with Active Directory, and you can also use direct IPs as well. There's pretty much 0 set up time, no clients on other PCs; all you gotta do is add a single client firewall exception, and you're off to the races. I use Inventory pretty much every day, and I find that it helps when I need to connect to a VNC client in a pinch. The community is fantastic, and they'll pretty much be able to answer any question quickly. Oh, and did I mention it's free? So what are you waiting for? Why haven't you tried it yet!?

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

Sometimes it's a bit annoying when you have to set up the integrated service again after changing your DA password. I wish there was a simpler method that didn't involve force-closing the application, and then running it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keaton Wagner of PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Loved your description of how easy it is to get up and running. If only it were so easy for us humans.

Thanks for the review!

"PDQ Deploy and Inventory... Worth every penny"
5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

Both PDQ Deploy and Inventory are worth evey penny you spend purchasing them for your school or business. They Help you keep your computers up to date, and easily mass deploy software. This makes is very easy, as you do not need to update individual computers one by one. Also you can take inventory of what software is on the computers, and havwe it keep them updates using a combination of both software packages (inventory & deploy). For our school dostrict, this saves a lot of time, with the numbers of desktop and laptop computers we have. Also, you can schedule updates and installs, so you do not need to be here to start the install/update. it also has a great library of updates, that stays up to date and you can use those to deploy to all of your computers. Very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic PC Management Tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

Very easy to use and create packages, Inventory is also very easy to get machines in and scan and create collections to deploy apps. The heartbeat feature comes in incredibly useful when deploying new apps to the organisation, or for patch management to make sure apps are kept up to date that may not auto update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I wish the on-premise apps supported permissions to lock certain people from making changes to packages. Also, DFS pull with LAPS doesn't work, it would be useful if the agent could login with the LAPS account but then use a different account to connect to the network share (or even the logged on user).

"Excellence Experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I have been using PDQ for almost 10 years and have been very happy with it. The combination of PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory has been very helpful. Comparing this to SCCM, this product is a milion times easier to use. Deployments are instantaneous, easy to craft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I would appreciate the ability to have a hold deployment 'hold' or wait for the machine to be powered on. Sometimes we have deployments overnight for clinical updates, and I would like to deployment to not be in a 'failed' state if the machine is offline. I would like it to just try again later that day. Having a heartbeat deployment is a little different as that just generates a new deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keaton Wagner of PDQ Deploy & Inventory

This was great feedback, Nathan! I've passed your comment about a deployment "hold" on to our product team. Thanks for the review!

"Extremely useful, not great performance"
4/5
What do you like best about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

It makes deploying software and scripts across our environment of 300+ computers very convenient and easy to manage. The software itself is easy to deploy and creating new packages is a nice and easy step by step approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

The interface is very clunky. The program sometimes sits at the loading splash screen for minutes and then fails to launch. When it does open, clicking between screens isn't very smooth (we're using it on a Azure VM with considerable resources). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the most helpful features are the AD network scanning of our workstations. It's organized in a really helpful way and gives tools within PDQ to manage each workstation individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDQ Deploy & Inventory?

I would like to see some easier to use report functions. Perhaps a walk through on how to create a good report? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
