Our product roadmap has new features and enhancements we’ve got planned for Connect.
We no longer have to go to multiple data sources to monitor for vulnerabilities; we just go to one place — PDQ Connect has streamlined our workflow. It's not as difficult to use as some of our other tool sets, it’s intuitive, and easy to learn. Being able to get new folks up to speed fast and proficiently is huge.

PDQ Connect does all the heavy lifting because the success rate is 100% whereas with Intune, even if you had a successful deployment, the next one may not be successful.

PDQ Connect is incredibly FAST, especially when used in tandem with Microsoft Intune which can be compared to speeds found on the Pony Express.

FAQs
What is PDQ Connect used for?
PDQ Connect is a cloud-native, agent-based tool for managing remote and local devices. IT teams use it to deploy software, remediate vulnerabilities, and gain remote access — all without a VPN. It’s especially useful for hybrid and distributed workforces.
How does PDQ Connect connect to devices?
PDQ Connect relies on a lightweight agent installed on each managed device. That agent maintains a secure connection to PDQ’s servers, giving admins visibility and control whenever the device is online. This agent-based model makes it possible to manage devices anywhere.
Is PDQ Connect secure for managing remote devices?
Yes, PDQ Connect uses an agent-based architecture with multiple layers of security. Communication between devices, the admin console, and PDQ’s servers is encrypted with HTTPS and secure WebSockets. Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and access is protected with role-based permissions and mandatory multifactor authentication. Learn more in the PDQ Connect Product Security Guide.
How much does PDQ Connect cost?
PDQ Connect pricing is transparent and based on the number of devices you manage, starting at $12 per device per year. You don’t need to talk to sales, and discounts are available for nonprofits, schools, and larger fleets. This makes it flexible for growing organizations.
Can you migrate from PDQ Deploy & Inventory to PDQ Connect?
Yes, many teams move from PDQ Deploy & Inventory to Connect when they adopt hybrid or remote environments. You can migrate using PDQ Migrate, our free tool that transfers your custom packages and collections from Deploy & Inventory into Connect. This saves time and avoids recreating configurations by hand.
Can I manage remote or off-network devices with PDQ Connect?
Yes, as long as the device has an internet connection and the Connect agent installed, you can deploy software, patch vulnerabilities, and provide remote support — no VPN, AD, or on-prem infrastructure required.
Does PDQ Connect support patch management and third-party updates?
Yes, PDQ Connect automates patching for Windows updates and third-party software. The Package Library covers hundreds of common apps, and you can create custom packages as needed. You can schedule updates, trigger deployments when vulnerabilities are detected, and ensure remote devices never miss critical patches.
What operating systems are supported by PDQ Connect?
PDQ Connect supports modern Windows and macOS operating systems, including Windows 10 and Windows 11. It’s designed for Windows-first environments, with ongoing updates to support the latest OS versions. MacOS support is coming soon on the product roadmap.
