Combines real-time device inventory (Active Directory sync, dynamic collections, custom scanners) with automated patching, 500+ pre-built packages, scripting, and compliance reporting. Per-admin license, unlimited devices > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 341 users. Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of PDQ Deploy & Inventory Benefits Reduce time spent on manual, repetitive maintenance tasks PDQ Deploy \& Inventory helps automate the work of keeping on-prem/on-network Windows devices patched and up to date. Scheduled deployments, heartbeat-triggered retries, and automated package updates run in the background without requiring admin intervention — freeing IT teams to focus on higher-priority work. Gain immediate, real-time visibility into your device environment PDQ Inventory continuously scans and organizes Windows machines, surfacing hardware specs, installed software, OS versions, and custom data defined via PowerShell Scanner. Dynamic collections and the prebuilt Collection Library automatically group devices based on current state, so admins always have an accurate, up-to-date picture of their fleet without manual tracking. Improve security posture and compliance with less effort Automated patch schedules and deployment retry logic help ensure devices stay current with third-party software updates and Windows Cumulative Updates. Scheduled reports can be configured to run automatically and deliver results by email, reducing manual effort for compliance audits and management reporting. Deploy software and run scripts precisely where they need to go Dynamic collections feed directly into deployment targeting, so updates and scripts reach exactly the right devices. Multi-step custom packages, custom variables, and PowerShell/batch script execution give admins granular control over what gets deployed and how. Scale IT operations without scaling headcount Central Server mode allows multiple admins to share packages, deployment histories, and schedules from a single PDQ server — eliminating the need to remote desktop into the server for routine tasks. One license per admin covers unlimited endpoints, making the tool cost-effective as device counts grow. Get up and running quickly with minimal configuration overhead PDQ Deploy \& Inventory installs directly onto existing Windows infrastructure with no endpoint agent required. Active Directory sync automatically imports computer records on setup, and the prebuilt Package Library and Collection Library provide ready-to-use starting points for deployments and device grouping without building from scratch. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.8/5** | 341 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.8/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.8/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: PDQ - **Location**: Salt Lake City, US ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$1,950.00 - **Pricing model**: Other (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Target Audience**: 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Windows (Desktop), Windows (On-Premise) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: United States ## Features - API - Active Directory Integration - Alerts/Notifications - Application Management - Approval Process Control - Asset Tracking - Authentication - Automatic Patch Deployment - Automatic Scans - Backup and Recovery - Compliance Management - Customization - Dashboard - Data Import/Export - Data Security - Deployment Management - Device Management - Encryption - Event Logs - IT Reporting ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Chat ## Category - [Patch Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1125/patch-management/software) ## Related Categories - [Patch Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1125/patch-management/software) - [MSP Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/645/managed-service-providers-msp/software) - [IT Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/771/it-management/software) - [Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1767/remote-monitoring-and-management/software) - [Computer Security Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/676/antivirus/software) ## Alternatives 1.

I wouldn't want to work somewhere that didn't have this software. My life is so much easier. Quickly find and patch computers \& push out software and updates. Pair this with PDQ Inventory and you're golden. > > **Cons**: I've honestly never had a problem with this software and I've been using it for probably 7 years at least. ----- ### "Very good Software and value for the price" — 5.0/5 > **Erick** | *21 December 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The easy way to configure the deployments and schedule that to run automatically on time to time. > > **Cons**: Do not have a client to install and not be able to monitor or deploy to clients outside of the network what nowadays is very normal with remote work. > > Solve the patch update for workstations and clients, inventory reports. ----- ### "PDQ- Pretty Darn Good" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *13 December 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick to setup deployments and push updated software out > > **Cons**: setting up silent installs and deployments for some software is challenging ----- ### "PDQ Inventory - wouldn't want to live without it" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *10 January 2023* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface closely resembles MMC which I'm used to. It's super fast when searching for something in particular about a computer or computers. The reports are customizable and very useful. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints about this software. It's amazing. ----- ### "Great Product but...." — 5.0/5 > **Gabe** | *3 June 2021* | Investment Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love being able to set custom scans for things like registry values. I can quickly pull reports or scan systems for up-to-date information when I need it. > > **Cons**: We really need to scan systems that are outside of our network. We deploy about 80% of systems as laptops. During the last year most have been off the network or on a VPN connection for a varied amount of time. Without a client, PDQ has really struggled to meet our needs. I have expressed our struggles to your support team but I did not receive any reassurance that a client is in the works. We will continue to look for a replacement to PDQ until there is a client. I’m hopeful to find something suitable soon if PDQ can not meet the challenges of many machines outside of the network. > > Overall I love the functionality. I wouldn’t change a whole lot other than having access to systems outside of our network ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2045563/pdq-deploy?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2045563/pdq-deploy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
