Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for remote inventory and deployment of software.

Pros

Easy to use
Easy to push deployments
Works well with Windows AD

Cons

Lots of errors within Inventory make it difficult to use at times.
Deployments can hang making it difficult to push mass deployments

Likelihood to Recommend

It works very well if you have a smaller environment with no DNS or networking issues, and established standards for the users.

It may not work as well if you have known DNS or networking issues or for larger environments with multiple sites.

PDQ Deploy the best software in my IT tool box

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PDQ Deploy across our entire network of 250 computers. We know we can get Microsoft Security updates from WSUS or Patch Tuesday. But want do we do with all of the other browser, Flash PDF readers / writes and other common apps that are on our computers today. We use PDQ Deploy to push pre-built packages (by PDQ) to update the computers in one quick step.

Pros

Updated patches as soon as they are release from vendors
Integrates seamlessly with PDQ Inventory
Easy to re-deploy failed updates

Cons

As good as there email support is.. would like a live operator option
Some updates are hard to understand when 5 versions of the same program exist
Thats about it, PDQ deploy is the best out there

Likelihood to Recommend

To stay compliant we need to keep all 3rd part apps up today. Google chrome, Firefox PDF readers, and Flash are the some of the biggest issues in my eyes. We do not give out admin rights to user so IT must install all updates; If I had to walk around even once a month and update all of these apps I would have not time for any other work. There 80-100 hours of work to do this. No organization has this type of money to do every month. That why we use PDQ products.... it pays for it self the first time you use it. Its like gaining 1/2 an IT guy using this simple tool
