Pros

“I would like the ability to connect 2 instances of PDQ Inventory to create a baseline configuration of each machine so that I can track and report changes.”

Randy W.

Corporate Director of IT

“Inventory, with it's customisable reports gives me an insight of my fleet of devices.”

Daniel H.

IT Manager

“It's supposed to detect when a PC is online and then deploy the package. ”

Steve I.

IT Support Supervisor

Pros

“Overall, Patch My PC is an industry leader in application patching. If you're seeking the services that Patch My PC offers, they're dollar for dollar the most practical investment a company could make.”

Dylan B.

Application Administrator

“The functionality to add updates and quickly take all apps your deploy and cover them for rolling updates is great.”

Will E.

Customer Experience Team Lead

“PatchMyPC makes it posible that we, approve more requested software, because we don't have any extra work with packaging and providing it.”

Andreas Z.

Product Expert IAM

Cons

“Without an efficient way to gather software and hardware info, then act upon it with relevant software deployments, we would need to add another staff member.”

Justin C.

IT Manager

“I think pdq need to use clients in the machines for better results in the deployment, sometimes the pdq have trouble finding the machine and freezes in the status "conecting" or return the error "The network path was not found" Maybe a client help mitigate this problem.”

Renan R.

Analista de Infra

“The only thing i d like to change would be a possibility to have a function so i can decide which downloads i d like to. As we are german users sometimes its annoying to manually add german software downloads for deployment.”

Pascal B.

IT-Administrator

Cons

“We are using the SaaS option and the thing I am missing most is having device visibility inside of the PMPC portal around whether or not a device has actually had a specific software updated and to what version. ”

Jared R.

Systems Administrator

“Some apps arent covered and are unable to be added due to odd rules like having more that 5 digits in parts of their version numbers.”

Will E.

Customer Experience Team Lead

“Extended features of secondary products, while perfectly functional in most features, in a sense leave some things to be desired and lack depth in customization that a majority of users won't even know they're missing.”

Dylan B.

Application Administrator
