Healthy, up-to-date machines — automatically
Automate updates with PDQ Connect so devices stay compliant and your security posture never wavers.
Escape the hamster wheel of repetitive manual tasks
Free yourself up to take on more strategic work with hands-free automations that keep your environment secure.
Automate deployments
Ensure packages deploy as soon as they're needed. Set a package to deploy the moment a CVE is detected, a new software version is available, or once a device meets specific criteria.
Deploy like clockwork
Patch how you want to, when you want to. Schedule a one-off deployment or set up a regularly needed update to kick off on a recurring schedule.
Auto-email reports
Get quick visibility of the status of your environment right from your inbox. Automate reports to refresh on a chosen cadence and email out to colleagues.
Create dynamic device groups
Specify criteria you care about, and devices will automatically join or leave a group. Leverage our Entra ID (Azure AD) integration to align your groups across tools.
Don’t just take our word for it
If I had to go back... I couldn’t do it. We would have to bring on several more people just to do what I do with PDQ.

Alternate solutions didn’t have the flexibility I was looking for. It would take me a week and a half to outfit a new lab previously. Now, with Deploy and Inventory, it takes me a couple hours.

PDQ saves me so much time. We literally would not get everything done in a reasonable amount of time without it.

FAQs
What can I automate with PDQ?
PDQ helps IT teams automate software deployments, patching workflows, vulnerability remediation, recurring updates, scheduled reports, and dynamic device groups. Automations can run on recurring schedules or event-based triggers, such as package updates, device onboarding, or detected vulnerabilities. Once configured, PDQ executes these routine tasks automatically to help keep devices secure, compliant, and up to date without repeating the same manual tasks every week.
Can PDQ automatically deploy software updates?
Yes. PDQ can automatically deploy software updates using recurring schedules or event-based triggers. Deployments can run when a package is updated, when a vulnerability is detected, when a device is onboarded, or when devices match conditions you’ve defined through dynamic device groups. Once configured, deployments run automatically without requiring an admin to manually start each one.
Can I schedule recurring deployments in PDQ?
Yes. PDQ lets you schedule one-time or recurring deployments for software, scripts, and custom packages. Scheduled deployments or patches automatically run on the cadence you choose, making it easier to handle routine patching, software updates, and ongoing maintenance tasks without repeating manual work.
How does PDQ help with patch management?
PDQ automates patch management through recurring schedules and event-based triggers. IT teams can automatically deploy packages, remediate vulnerabilities when CVEs are detected, and target the right devices using dynamic device groups. AI-assisted vulnerability intelligence also helps prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world exploit risk, allowing teams to focus automated remediation where it matters most.
Does PDQ support dynamic device groups?
Yes. PDQ supports dynamic device groups that automatically add or remove devices based on conditions you define. Because group membership updates automatically, deployments and automations always target the right devices without requiring admins to manually maintain device lists.
What is automated software deployment?
Automated software deployment is the process of installing or updating software on targeted devices without manually launching each deployment. With PDQ, deployments can run on a schedule or in response to events such as package updates, device onboarding, or detected vulnerabilities. Once configured, these automations help IT teams deploy software faster and more consistently across their environments.
