5.0

Dan: My name is Dan. I am an application specialist at a company of over 1000 people, and I would give PDQ a five out of five. I use PDQ Inventory to monitor our applications and our computers and our production environment and testing environment. I use PDQ Deploy to deploy applications, deploy patches, uninstall applications, and do this either live on, demand, or to schedule deployments. My favorite things about PDQ is its intuitiveness. The moment you turn it on, you don't need a tutorial. You can start playing around with it and you can guess what the buttons are going to do, and that's pretty much what they're going to do. If you want to try more advanced features, even those are intuitive. Though if you want to add the scripting or more complex tasks, you have to look it up online. But their tutorial page is very well documented, and they have YouTube videos as well. Besides the intuitiveness and the documentation, their support staff is also very helpful. They're very technical and they don't waste your time. They go straight to problem and they offer solutions. If not, they investigate and they get back to you with solutions. One thing about PDQ Inventory and Deploy is that it's not a cloud solution, so it always requires VPN to be turned on by our remote computers. Although they do offer a different product, which is very similar to PDQ Deploy and Inventory, which is the cloud. I wish those functionalities would be integrated in PDQ Inventory and Deploy itself because I find that they're just redoing the same work for the cloud version, whereas the non-cloud version is already perfect. Adding the option to deploy from the cloud, I think would be a much better improvement to the main application itself.
