It is straigtforward and even our new Hires can quickly understand how to assess inventory, create deployments and more. > > **Cons**: Managing Remote Devices outside the Network can be hard compared to more cloud based platforms. However, it can work via LAN or VPN, but not every Remote Device comes into the LAN / VPN regulary > > Automated Deployments, Scheduling and dynamic collections help us as a team reduce manual work on a large number of devices - that helps our efficiency\! ----- ### "PDQ Deploy & Inventory Saves Time" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *01 July 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDQ Inventory and Deploy work hand-in-hand. I love the fact that Inventory can provide a dynamic list of endpoints that meet certain criteria (OS, software version, etc.) and present it to Deploy for software or script deployment. > > **Cons**: PDQ Deploy can initiate software or script deployment on a schedule (once, interval, daily, etc.). One of these options is called "Heartbeat". I love this idea of this option. It's supposed to detect when a PC is online and then deploy the package. However, this option hasn't worked for us in the past. > > PDQ saves our IT team a ton of time. Being able to package software installation and deploy it in an automated fashion saves us significant time when deploying new PCs. Additionally, many endpoint software updates that we previously had to do manually on every endpoint can now be automated with PDQ Deploy. ----- ### "One of the best onsite device management platforms I know." — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *18 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software really made a difference for me in terms of deploying software to workstations as well as knowing the detailed inventory. The deployment process is easy and very effective. Inventory, with it's customisable reports gives me an insight of my fleet of devices. > > **Cons**: To be honest, I am unable to find any drawbacks, except the Inventory not doing as good job with Windows 11 machines. I have to push WIMC to have accurate data. > > I've been using PDQ for quite a while now. It has been crucial i rapid software deployment and knowing what's going on with my workstations. ----- ### "PDQ Inventory & Deployment is priceless\!" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *31 October 2024* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you get the platform configured it has tremendous value in the host inventory and custom reporting features. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/174535/pdq-deploy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/174535/pdq-deploy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
