### "I cant say enough good things about PDQ deploy"

June 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

Super easy to create a software package for deployment. The software comes with a library of already created deployments as well.

Cons

It takes a bit for the program to load. Other than that, there is nothing negative for me to say about it.

### "Saves time and ensures uniform experience"

July 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

PDQ Deploy is great because it ensures that every PC, and therefore every user in the office gets the same experience in terms of software. To do this manually is a tricky task!

Cons

It can sometimes be hard to find MSI versions of software installers which are required by PDQ Deploy, and making an MSI version can often be painful and tedious.

### "Software Distribution made simple"

January 25, 2019

4.0

I've loved having PDQ Deploy, it has made managing the software on our corporate office computers that much more simple and I really like that it disables updates so they don't get pushed until I'm ready to.

Pros

The ease of using the interface, it makes setting up deployment packages very easy to do.

Cons

The price is a little steep, but even so, the peace of mind you get from being able to deploy software easily makes up for it

### "A great piece of software for deploying apps and scripts"

July 13, 2018

5.0

The free version has been very handy for me. If I need to quickly push out a file or package and don't feel like utilizing PowerShell, I use PDQ Deploy. Simple to use and setup. Advanced capabilities.

Pros

Very easy to use. Simple interface. Simple setup. Quickly and easily deploy software (MSI, EXE, scripts) out to remote computers on your network. Active directory limits software deploys to MSIs without using some scripting. PDQ Deploy makes it easy to deploy EXEs out to users. Free version with basic features.

Cons

I haven't had to use the support yet, doubt it would be very responsive but who knows. Must pay for more advanced features beyond basic deployment. Does not use a client so machines must be on the network.

### "Quickly push software to your devices from your desk"

April 16, 2019

5.0

The greatest benefit is to send out packages remotely to devices on the network. PDQ constantly releases new product updates that provide many great improvements to an already great product.

Pros

The access to a library of common software tools that are needed for devices in my environment.

Cons

Some software is not already available in the library and takes some time to create custom bundles to push to client devices.

### "PDQ Deploy "

December 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

Automation of deployments and a lot of 3rd party default updates available.

Cons

Windows updates are already packaged and we cannot trim it down to a granular KB to deploy specific KB only

### "Seems To Work Well"

July 14, 2021

4.0

So far so good. I was able to scan our entire network using IP ranges as well as Active Directory. It does appear there may be some slightly inaccurate information due to some systems not being online in a while, so I believe it pulled from AD only for those.

Pros

The ability to see all of the online desktops in the company as well as who is logged into them, the version of Windows they are running, and the specs of their hardware.

Cons

There is no ability to determine the age of the computer. It would be incredibly helpful to get the BIOS date or manufacturing date of the system for our asset tracking. I wound up using Spiceworks Desktop for that instead.

### "Simple interface"

September 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like that it is simple to use and once a pc is scanned you get a nice software inventory to monitor.

Cons

You have to click down into a software on a specific PC to create a package. I would love to see a "create update" package option when drilling down into devices that have older versions of software.

### "Great product"

January 16, 2019

4.0

Instead of images we use this package to deploy new onboarding (i know crazy). This has cut our work time significantly. We also quickly deploy software on demand at any time.

Pros

Loaded with features, easy to use, it just works.

Cons

The GUI could be updated, their library is kind of small in my opinion.

### "Feature rich and works great"

October 31, 2019

5.0

Very positive and lots of online resources with this product and company.

Pros

Ease of setup and configuration. Very helpful online support articles, videos and web presentations to help in learning and setup.

Cons

We chose to stay with the free version, which is limited, however meets our needs. Some additional research may be needed when setting up your own patch packages.

### "Educational Use"

December 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the fact that is interacts with Active Directory, which makes it easier to select a group of computers to deploy applications/scripts to.

Cons

The cost is the biggest issue I have with the software, I work for a small school district, so money is something there is not a lot of, which makes it hard to afford when there are other needs.

Deploying applications across to our users.
