"Excellent Inventory Visibility and Flexible Automated Deployments with PDQ"

5/5

What do you like best about PDQ?

PDQ gives us a great combination of inventory visibility and flexible software deployment. We use it to report on applications installed across our Windows server environment, keep common software current through automated deployments, and quickly build ad-hoc jobs for remediation work. The ability to customize packages, schedules, and targeting makes it especially valuable in an environment with many different server and jump-station configurations.

What do you dislike about PDQ?

The biggest downside is that PDQ's flexibility requires careful configuration and targeting. Automated updates are extremely useful, but in a complex server environment an unexpected software installation can result in a system being touched unintentionally. More deployment safeguards and impact visibility would be valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PDQ helps us solve the challenge of managing software consistently across a large Windows server environment. It gives us visibility into what applications and versions are installed, allows us to automate routine application updates, and makes it easy to target specific systems for ad-hoc deployments or remediation. This reduces the amount of manual work required to maintain servers and gives us much better reporting and control over application maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
