Pros

“Super positive. When my outdated SSL VPN device went EOL and I was in need of a way to inexpensively access my office resources when working remotely, I demoed Splashtop and others and Splashtop just worked! ”

Brad S.

COO

“The software can be configured such as one click remote, set message once in machine and many more.”

Wasek T.

IT Support Supervisor

“You'd get the get same canned answers as if you'd be corresponding with a chatbot more or less expecting this level of support.”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

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

Cons

“It has become difficult to connect to a remote device (you get the circling, formerly hourglass, image going forever until you close the window and try another 2 to 6 times before connecting or giving up depending on the individual). ”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

“Even after shelling out several thousands of dollars management has decided to eat their loss and move to another platform as they were facing a revolt by technicians claiming they would go on sick leave rather than having to use the tool.”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

“I came into a team that was using a single Parsec account to manage multiple systems which is not a good place to be in. ”

James L.

Product Manager

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.
