PDQ Deploy & Inventory
Making device management simple and secure.
Overview
PDQ.com offers two core products that work together: PDQ Deploy for automating software and patch deployments, and PDQ Inventory for scanning and collecting detailed hardware and software data from Windows computers. Deploy has a package library of over 200 common applications that it keeps up-to-date, allowing admins to silently deploy patches on a schedule. Inventory allows for the creation of dynamic groups based on criteria (e.g., 'computers with old version of Chrome'), which can then be targeted by Deploy.
