PDQ Deploy

Network administrators that have to cater to multiple workstations that are connected to a common network, or Active Directory, can encounter a number of challenges, which often stem from the varied nature of the characteristics of each connected machine, as well as the different requirements when it comes to connectivity. PDQ Deploy is an application that was created specifically in order to address such requirements, and it will allow you to automate patch management and perform deployment for a wide range of patches and software, as well as perform remote executions.

One of the first aspects that came to my attention while testing out PDQ Deploy was its friendly interface, which I believe adds an extra layer of accessibility, making it ideal for those who aren’t accustomed to complex, code-based undertakings.

However, that’s not to say that the bundled functionality and available features suffer from this design choice. Quite the contrary, I feel that this optimized layout manages to bring out the best from the available functionality, working as a catalyst.

The way in which the functionality of the app is offered targets a very structured approach, and this is quite evident through the further design choices, which will deploy its features through a tab array, coupled with dedicated menus for reports, packages, and more.

When it comes to the depth at which you will be able to work with the customization of the app, I am happy to report that a thorough and comprehensive take is provided, as the settings bank offers quite an intricate, detailed set of options.

If you’re seeking for a tool that can help you update third-party software, deploy scripts, make configuration changes, apply patches and manage multiple machines connected to the same network or AD, this specialized app can be a reliable choice.
