"PDQ Connect Gets the Job Done"

4/5

What do you like best about PDQ Connect?

My experience with PDQ Connect has been very positive. I’ve used it to build and deploy custom PowerShell packages for Windows feature upgrades, security remediations, Windows Update repair, Microsoft 365 configuration reporting, and complex application installation and removal workflows. The cloud-based agent makes it convenient to manage remote endpoints without relying on the traditional PDQ Deploy infrastructure. There is a learning curve when converting older packages, particularly around Local System execution, attachments, conditions, exit codes, and reboot handling. Once those behaviors are understood, PDQ Connect is flexible, dependable, and well suited to repeatable endpoint automation. I would still like to see continued improvements to package creation and workflow visibility, but it has already become a valuable part of my endpoint-management toolkit.

What do you dislike about PDQ Connect?

Compared with Deploy & Inventory, PDQ Connect still feels less mature. Existing packages do not always migrate cleanly, some steps require PowerShell workarounds, and complex reboot workflows take more effort. I also miss the deeper inventory, reporting, and hands-on control of the on-prem products. Connect is better for remote devices, but Deploy & Inventory remain more flexible.

What problems is PDQ Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

PDQ Connect helps us manage remote, off-network, and intermittently connected computers from one cloud console. We can deploy software, apply security fixes, collect inventory, and manage Windows updates with less manual effort. We are currently evaluating its effectiveness as a potential lift-and-replace solution for our existing RMM tooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
