One license per admin covers both products with unlimited endpoints.\n\nPDQ Inventory scans Windows machines in real time, syncing with Active Directory and grouping devices into dynamic collections. PDQ Deploy uses those collections to schedule silent deployments, push third-party patches and Windows Cumulative Updates from 500+ prebuilt packages, and run PowerShell or batch scripts automatically.\n\nCommon use cases: automated patching, software compliance auditing, dynamic device group management, and recurring maintenance automation for on-prem Windows fleets.\n\nUnlike PDQ Connect, PDQ's separate cloud-native, agent-based product for remote and hybrid fleets, PDQ Deploy &amp; Inventory is purpose-built for on-prem environments. Used across education, government, manufacturing, healthcare, and finance. Built by PDQ, founded in 2001.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/f63b943b-5087-4772-be3f-b01e21ad64ee.png","url":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/174535/pdq-deploy","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/174535/pdq-deploy#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":341,"ratingValue":4.8},"offers":{"price":"1950","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows, Windows on premise"},{"name":"Action1","description":"Action1 is an autonomous endpoint management platform trusted by many Fortune 500 companies.

By pioneering autonomous OS and third-party patching with peer-to-peer patch distribution and real-time vulnerability assessment without needing a VPN, it eliminates routine labor, preempts ransomware and security risks, and protects the digital employee experience. \n\nIn 2025, Action1 was recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America. The company is founder-led by Alex Vovk and Mike Walters, American entrepreneurs who previously founded Netwrix, a multi-billion-dollar cybersecurity company.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/fce1f015-6f4c-4bb5-abd4-8de60ce98817.png","url":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/180609/action1-rmm","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/180609/action1-rmm#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":237,"ratingValue":4.9},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"MSP Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/30921/msp/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"PDQ Deploy & Inventory vs Action1","position":3,"item":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/compare/174535/180609/pdq-deploy/vs/action1-rmm","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/compare/174535/180609/pdq-deploy/vs/action1-rmm#breadcrumblist"}]}
