Best all around remote management and monitoring tool in the industry, no contest
Mindblowing, if all software was this good there would not be any conflict in the world.
Vorteile
-> Intuituve
-> Extensive and detailed documentation
-> Good technical support
-> Low maintenance, great performance
-> Fantastic UI
-> Phenomenal integration with external scripting languages like powershell and batch.
Nachteile
-> 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.

A good choice for privacy conscious companies
Vorteile
There are no agents to install on systems being inventoried and it is installed locally on your own network (even just a local desktop) which make a it quick to install and keeps all the communications and data within your local network.
Nachteile
Because it is agentless there are issues when trying to inventory systems that are removed from the local network, e.g. Home workers.

PDQ Inventory & Deployment is priceless!
Overall very happy. The two tools work together to make maintaining a large network of computers so much easier and more efficient. Without an efficient way to gather software and hardware info, then act upon it with relevant software deployments, we would need to add another staff member.
Vorteile
Once you get the platform configured it has tremendous value in the host inventory and custom reporting features.
Nachteile
Initially, understanding the logic within the data gathering/scan profiles and custom reporting was difficult. It's not the most intuitive, but once you figure it out you can literally do anything you want with it.

PDQ the IT Professional's best deployment tool

PDQ Deploy and Inventory - Tools for the Admin
I am a long time user of both Deploy and Inventory. These tools are a force multiplier for an understaffed IT group. You cannot imagine the ease of pushing out hundreds of updates while drinking your coffee in the morning.
Vorteile
Ease of use. This is a product that actually does what it says.
Nachteile
I would like the ability to connect 2 instances of PDQ Inventory to create a baseline configuration of each machine so that I can track and report changes.

Never Gets Enough of It, Very Easy to Use
It has been a smooth ride on asset tracking and management with this tool which has resulted in reduced cost of asset replacement due to loss or wear and tear. The ripple effect is inventory management which has been made easy and efficient using PDQ Deploy & Inventory.
Vorteile
Despite the ease of use, it is a great tool that helped with patch management as well as real time monitoring of assets.

Just Amazing
I love it.
Vorteile
Ease of deployment of custom software, not managed by SCCM
Nachteile
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.

Just Get It !! You will never regret it !!
It is an amazing piece of software what takes a huge amount of headache away. It is quick, easy. If you want want to do software install and update deployment quick and easy you need PDQ Deploy !!
Vorteile
This product is super easy to use. Most standard packages are already build for you (and every new update there is more) what can be super easy rolled out to a test machine and then production. If you want custom installation it is so easy to install/copy - install/ create little batch files or full on powershell scripts. This is super easy comparing to SCCM or even WSUS.
Nachteile
I had to think long and hard about what could be improved and even asked my co-workers.... and really there is nothing at this moment what needs to be improved. It does what needs to be done and is super easy.
(edit: Perhaps the only thing is that the log files with errors could be more detailed to directly been viewed)

PDQ Deploy for Education
I literally cannot do my job without this software. I daresay that once you try it, you will find that you will agree with me.
Vorteile
The software itself works really well. The hard part consists of getting all the machines to talk to each other and then figuring out the silent command -line statements that are needed to install the software. For most of the well-known software, the silent switches are well known and for the most popular tools PDQ will even supply their own scripts.
Nachteile
I'd love PDQ Deploy to re-imagine their local Agent idea. The last time they tried it supposedly didnt meet their standards. I'd say look at other software like Goverlan and even AWS Thinkbox Deadline (a renderfarm manager) to see how they do a local Agent to see if those would meet the criteria. PDQ has no ability to install software that doesn't offer a command-line silent switch. You'd think that this would never come up in Education but... you'd be surprised. We run a lot of 3D and VFX apps that are made by one developer and when you ask them for the silent switches they reply "what are you talking about" . Now, to be sure, this isn't really a "con" of PDQ, but it is fair to mention. If you have any software that just doesn't have any command-line automation which can run silently via a Windows Service User, you'll have to get something alongside PDQ Deploy to make that happen.

Fits perfect in our Organisation
Fast Software-Deployment with a few clicks. Easy to handle. No need to visit the Users Desktop. Auto Download helps us to keep all Devices up to date.
Vorteile
In connection with Inventory it is very easy to deploy Updates and Tools with a few Clicks. With Automatic Deployment we get rid of annoying tasks like check and update Clients. It's nearly fire and forget :-)To create Deployment Packages is very easy. I'm able to deploy nearly any Tool within seconds without the need to visit the Desktop onsite.
Nachteile
Most of the Tools/Programs we're deploy with PDQ automaticaly detect and uses the OS-Language. But there are some Tools (e.g. Firefox) which does not. It was helpful to extend the Auto Download Package so that we can deploy the appropriate Language Pack. Actually we can convert the Auto Download Package to a Standard Package and modify this Standard Package. Unfortunately we lose the advantage of the auto download feature.

Keeping tabs with PDQ Inventory
I started using the free version at a former job and introduced it to my team at my current job. I asked a few times for the licensed version and eventually after i produced a potential ROI document i managed to get 2 licenses for both deploy and inventory. My colleague and i get so much more accomplished leaving time for the more physical side of our jobs.
Vorteile
I love everything about this software. The tools are all there, command line, MMC Management, Reboot, remote assist and desktop wake... Dunamic grouping so i can keep abreast of what needs this or that software. What operating System, whether it is laptop, desktop or server. Registry printers etc etc, is there anything it cant do.
Nachteile
None absolutely none. With this in my tool box i save myself weeks worth of work within a year. The ROI impresses the fiscal department, our turnaround of work requests jumped staggeringly according to our quality and rounding departments.

Vorteile
Its easy to use, easy to teach, and highly customizable.
Nachteile
No support for Azure devices. I wish there was an agent that I could install on all my devices to have PDQ talk to all of them and have 1 place to push all of my software out from.

Still learning
I've only been with the company for a year and I've been tasked to manage this software, therefore, I'm still learning how to use it and learning all its functionality. The end goal is to use PDQ to automate as much as I can, including patch updating and maintenance. I have not gotten this advanced in the software just yet.
When I get stuck on creating a new package, and i just feel like the software cannot possibly accommodate what I'm trying to do, but so far i've been proven wrong thanks to the support backing it. This program is pretty capable.
Vorteile
The quality of the product can really be hampered by it's development backers. If the support is not readily available, it can affect the quality of the product, even if the product itself is really good. I have not used much deployment software, but I do know that PDQ deploy is a much cheaper option than other provider's out there. So far the customer support has been outstanding which puts it ahead of anything else i've used.
Nachteile
The con is the survey requiring me to to fill out more than just saying "na"

PDQ Deploy & Inventory are awesome products, healthy DNS required
Overall a solid product. Some quirks but definitely helps a lot with patching, organizing assets, and then some.
Vorteile
PDQ makes it VERY easy to set up custom deployment packages with and without scripting. They also allowed management of common third-party apps with auto-updating, scheduling of deployments, and many other awesome tools. It is very cost efficient and I have used it across several companies.
Nachteile
A very heavy reliance on DNS. Support takes a long time to reply. No option for escalated service or support.

THE Best application for the money in the IT space!
We have been using PDQ for the past 10 years and it keeps getting better and better. The installs are fast and responsive. Their video training is excellent as well as the videos are straight and to the point with great screen captures and explanations. We will never be without PDQ!
Vorteile
This application allows us to push out "one off" applications and gives us the ability to know right away if the application install was successful. They have a ton of templates built for commonly used applications and constantly updating their pushes and templates.
Their support is second to none! They are super responsive and always willing to go above and beyond in helping our team with application pushes that are out of the ordinary. If an application fails to install successfully from a push, you can also email support right from the error message without having to do copy and paste. More support teams should follow their lead. I can't say enough good things about them.
Nachteile
Honestly, I don't have any cons about this software.

Great Inventory and Patching System for Network Administrators
It is a critical component in our Inventory and Security Patching process. Helps us keep systems patched so that we are less vulnerable to security threats.
Vorteile
You can setup automated scheduled tasks to patch systems at any time during the week or weekends. Allows patches to automatically be pushed out afterhours to avoid any system downtime.
Nachteile
It is mainly intended to only inventory and patch Windows products. It would be great to have more integration where it could go out and inventory printers and linux type devices.

PDQ has become the most used toolset in my career.
This is the 2nd job I have had with PDQ. Part of the reason I was hired for this position was my knowledge of PDQ. The previous admins had purchased but no one knew how to use it. The overall system was in a neglected state. In the 9 months I have been here I have rebuilt and moved PDQ to new servers and changed the way Patch management was done. I retired WSUS because I can do all that it does and more with PDQ. So much more. And the customer support is amazing. I use it when I am stuck with what seems to be unique to our company issues and your staff makes it simple to resolve. I do believe I have become a much more efficient engineer because of PDQ. Keep up the awesome work!!
Vorteile
Automation is a must when you have over 400 devices. It makes complex problems much easier to accomplish.
Nachteile
I really have not had time to learn all of the features of your products. But that is not on PDQ. Your YouTube videos are amazing and fun to watch. Keep up the humor. That goes a long way in IT.

Want to look like a Admin Superstar? PDQ is the only way.
A big piece from the management side is being able to quickly true-up or massive Microsoft E5 licensing and pricing. The hardest port of using PDQ is teaching HD staff all of the powerful things that can be accomplished with the combination of Inventory and Deploy.
Vorteile
Ease of use, integration with other tools, price, functionality, the overall stability of both Inventory and Deploy and the integration of the two products.
Nachteile
They ONLY thing that I have found no way to do that would make things perfect, is to be able to pass a computer name or IP address variable to a custom PowerShell script or custom scanner.

Overall PDQ Deploy has helped me bring my patching solution on several networks up to date. It is just so much easier to use that other products I have tried over the years. I would highly recommend this product to anyone needed to keep networks up to date.

I absolutely love the ease and usage of PDQ Deploy. The product does almost everything I can ask of it in a very easy to use package.
Nachteile
The only con I can think of is that I get hit with a lot of hits on my Vulnerability scans for Microsoft Office products. I know it would be difficult, but it would be nice if Office patches were included in the Package Library.

Absolute life-saver if you're an admin
Deploying software, copying files, changing Windows settings, rebooting, those are all things I accomplish with PDQ that I would have to do one by one on each PC otherwise.
Vorteile
PDQ can do literally anything you can think of on Windows PCs you manage. Installing, copying files, executing Powershell, etc. I mean if you can execute Powershell remotely what is there you cannot do?
Nachteile
Honestly can't really think of anything I don't like about this software. It even has dark mode for ultimate eye comfort, so I cannot complain.

Inexpensive, Hierarchecal, and Scalable
My overall experience with inventory has been very positive. Whenever I change jobs I encourage them to switch to PDQ. After its adoption, my team shares my enthusiasm.
Vorteile
I like the ability to create nested groups, that can be dynamic or static. I will also enjoy the ability to use multiple compound statements, without limitation in order to drill down and find devices that meet whatever criteria I can dream up or that I've been given.
Nachteile
The only problems I've really run into is the speed that you're able to scan large scale organizations with a lot of VPN users. Occasionally DNS does not update quickly enough so you wind up with an IP pointing to a different workstation. This doesn't really cause a great deal of problems, it just causes the scan to fail. It's not a huge deal because it will correct itself during the next scan typically

Amazing Software for Managing and Updating Windows Computers
Before using PDQ Deploy, we were periodically re-imaging our public computers which was a time consuming process as we have multiple areas in the library each with different software programs installed. In between re-imaging, key utility programs would regularly become out of date, negatively impacting patrons usage of the computers. Now with PDQ Deploy, we are able to easily update only specific software programs across all areas, irregardless of the overall software image in use. Simpler and faster process allows for the computers to be updated on a quicker schedule resulting in a better overall experience for our patrons, and significantly less time expended by IT staff.
Vorteile
The included Package Library is a fantastic added value to the program providing prepared and tested packages for installing/updating most of the popular/requested software programs. Very easy to use without having to study a lengthy manual. Seemless integration with existing systems and AD. Regular updates to the software, weekly webcasts, extensive video tutorials on usage.
Nachteile
None that I can really think of. Not a fan of the new program icons which make it more difficult to identify which program is which, but that's really a minor nitpick.

Cheap solution for cheap LAN only use-cases
I am overall happy regarding the needs that we currently have. Absolutely not good enough for modern and especially mobile cloud-based infrastructures though.
Vorteile
Block programming approach to defining the deployments and inventory. Really in-depth access to the OS that can read whatever you can think of with an ease. Visualisation of the results is not possible though.
Nachteile
No mobility support, no cloud, no dashboards, nothing. Users cannot interact with any deployment in any other way than by pressing OK. UX level cca when Greenday lead the hitparades.

Great quality of life from a very powerful program
I have had a tremendously positive experience. I have more time on my hands to address more complicated tasks and bigger projects now that I don't have to perform repetitive tasks, and I can rest easy when I push a critical windows update because I will know which computers got the update and which ones only need to restart.
Vorteile
We like being able to perform the same repetitive task, deploy configurations and installations, and keep consistency across our computers. We reclaimed so much time with how fast we can now do these tasks! It is straightforward to use, and there are so many ways to perform my tasks that I only need to choose the easiest way that I know to do them. The community and knowledge base articles are a treasure trove whenever I need to do something new that I don't yet know how to do.
Nachteile
I think the only improvement that I would like to see is a way to know that a failure to deploy is something other than the network path was not found. If I deploy a package to multiple computers and some of them fail with an error code and some where network paths can't be found,, I need to look at each failure across multiple failed deployments to make sure that they all did not fail with an error.

PDQ Deply and Inventory
As stated above, this has made my monthly patching much easier and also allowed me to auto patch more apps than just Windows updates. I have also built out auto deployment packages that I use when settin gup new machines. I add them to my domain, Inventory picks them up on scan and adds them to a dynamic collection, Deploys heartbeat deployment for that collection pushes out the preconfigured list of apps/packages and generates a message on each machine when finished.

Tried this out after some frustration with SCCM. While the MS product was getting my monthly patch Tuesday stuff covered, it felt a little complicated to manage. With PDQ deploy, it feels much easier, plus im now getting windows patches as well as patching many other apps(Chrome, edge, 7-zip, VLC, etc.) in what I feel is a much more user friendly and intuitive interface.
Nachteile
Has built-in support for VNC for remote control which I don't currently use. I'll be making the switch but wish there were other options.

Your ServiceDesks best friend.
Amazing, PDQ Deploy has been an outstanding piece of software that we could never live without.
Vorteile
PDQ is an amazing tool that I could not live without, it provides the helpdesk with one click installation of custom MSI packages, pre-built MSI packages to make software deployment a breeze. It has built in scheduling to ensure all machines across our entire network have all the right software and are always up to date. It was an absolute breeze to set up and we were up and running within a couple of hours. Support has always been next level with detailed responses about almost any question we throw at them.
Nachteile
I don't like how vague some of the error messages can be on deployment when it fails but these are usually Windows errors that PDQ is simply feeding back.

PDQ la Herramienta Indispensable para los Equipos de IT
Sin duda ha sido un acierto para nosotros, hemos apostado y hemos ganado con creces con su herramienta.Agradezco el foro pdqforum.com y los videos que hay en su canal de youtube, ha sido un acierto, ya que nos han ayudado a entender la forma de trabajar con la herramienta y de como configurar los primeros paso y lo que es indispensable, luego ya nos ha tocado afinar las configuraciones según nuestras necesidades.PDQ Inventory y PDQ Deploy han cambiado nuestra forma de trabajar, todo mucho más ordenado y viendo los cambios realizados en los equipos en tiempo real, lo recomiendo 100%
Vorteile
En un principio se tuvieron que configurar los parámetros que nosotros deseábamos, que no fueron pocos, se realizaron filtrados por equipos, por S.O., por sedes, por software instalado, por ubicaciones, por antigüedad, por no uso, por estar pendientes de Updates.
Nachteile
Lo que menos me ha gustado es sin duda el que en algunas actualizaciones de productos se hayan configurado para que no sean actualizables, nos ha pasado con Chrome y Zoom que hemos tenido que realizar la instalación con una configuración manual y editar el registro en los equipos para que vuelva a ser auto actualizables.

PDQ is awesome!
Everything about PDQ is amazing. Easy to use, its flexibility and continuing improvements. Really no bad things to say about it aside from keep it up and making improvements.
Vorteile
PDQ is an easy to use tool to scan machines for information on each machine as well as deploying apps. We use it with our deployments to segregate different builds for machines. The ability to deploy powershell scripts, install .exe files and copy files is amazing and very easy.We also calls PDQs API to deploy different things making it a central hub for app deployment. The future will be making a service that users can just call PDQ to deploy an app to them.PDQ connect has a lot of promise, which will allow us to deploy apps that are not connected to our network. Giving us more control beyondAnother plan soon will be to use PDQ for software license counts.PDQ was also easy to setup and migrate to a new server when we wanted to increase the specs of the machine it was on.
Nachteile
They are working towards it now, but the ability to deploy to machines beyond our network is amazing. Giving us information too and status updates on those machines so we can monitor them.Not a con but I do hope they continue adding to their PDQ inventory and API. A future request/project for us is to beable to use PDQ to keep an accurate license count of software. We have some long ideas but would love to use PDQ to keep tabs on everything for us rather than relying on basic data entry.
