Our verdict on PDQ Connect
PDQ Connect is a cloud-based, agent-based endpoint management platform for IT teams and system administrators managing remote, local, hybrid, and distributed device fleets. Its web console and installed agents support device and software inventory, software and script deployment, Windows and third-party patching, vulnerability scanning and remediation, reporting, automation, and remote desktop access. It is suited to organizations that want to manage internet-connected Windows and macOS devices without a VPN or on-premises deployment infrastructure.
Published plans show annual per-device pricing with a 100-device minimum. Connect Basic costs $12 per device per year and includes inventory, prebuilt and custom packages, custom fields and reports, and Windows and macOS device management. Connect Plus costs $18 per device per year and adds automated deployments, remote desktop, role-based access control, and custom scanners. Connect Premium costs $28 per device per year and adds vulnerability scanning, vulnerability prioritization, one-click CVE resolution, and priority technical support. A 14-day trial begins at the Premium tier, while the paid plans provide the clearest fit for teams managing at least 100 devices.
The feature set is broad for endpoint operations: administrators can create dynamic device groups, schedule or trigger automations, generate automated email reports, access the API, and use AI-assisted Windows package creation and review. Entra ID, Google SSO, Microsoft SSO, and OIDC providers support identity integration. The documented endpoint coverage is Windows 10 or higher, Windows Server 2016 or higher, and macOS Sonoma or newer. Choose PDQ Connect for cloud-based Windows and macOS deployment with patching and vulnerability workflows; organizations needing broader verified platform coverage or a smaller starting deployment should consider a different fit.
