Love the preconfigured Collections that lets us know about which most common applications are out of date, and then we can literally right-click and Select PDQ Deploy to update them.Very easy program to use and I love the reporting side of it. > > **Cons**: There could be more commonly used Reports straight out of the box, but not that big of a deal as it's easy to create your own and run against a collection. > > All I can say is that I wish I had found this product sooner. As a 1 man band at a company of 150 users this makes my life so much easier and gives me a great overall view of what's on my network. 10/10 recommend. ----- ### "Just Amazing" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *21 February 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of deployment of custom software, not managed by SCCM > > **Cons**: I only have 3 Cons:1. It is two seperate programs (Inventory \& Deploy), and allthough there is some integration, we still need to synchronize variables manually.2. The missing ability to use LDAPS intstead of old deprecated LDAP.3. I would love to be able to put the databases on our Enterprise MSSQL Cluster Server, instead of these local SQLite databases. > > I love it. ----- ### "Inexpensive but crazy powerful" — 5.0/5 > **Bryan** | *15 June 2022* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is so intuitive that after watching a 30 minute video from youtube (love the channel btw) a brand new user will be able to deploy software and run reports. > > **Cons**: I wish that this software would integrate into Smart Deploy, so I can push OS as well as software > > I absolutely love it, but you have to have PDQ Inventory with it\! If you want full IT Godhood, you have to both parts. Thankfully the price means it won't break the budget, heck we buy laptops for more than the yearly cost of both of these. ----- ### "Best all around remote management and monitoring tool in the industry, no contest" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *2 February 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: -\> Intuituve -\> Extensive and detailed documentation -\> Good technical support -\> Low maintenance, great performance -\> Fantastic UI -\> Phenomenal integration with external scripting languages like powershell and batch. > > **Cons**: -\> Hard to think of anything, this thing WORKS. Reminds me of Windows 7 when it came out, kicked ass out of the box (and kicks ass even today). We're on a 4 year old version of PDQ and even with all the missing updates, it still works very well. > > Mindblowing, if all software was this good there would not be any conflict in the world. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419203/pdq-deploy-and-inventory?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419203/pdq-deploy-and-inventory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
