BMC Helix Discovery vs. PDQ

BMC Discovery (formerly BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping, or ADDM) creates a dynamic, holistic view of all data center assets and the relationships between them, giving IT crucial visibility into how the assets support the business. Each scan delves into the information and dependencies for all software, hardware, network, storage, and versions, providing IT with the context needed to create an application map from any piece of information about it. A lightweight footprint allows IT to map applications with up to 100% accuracy in 15 minutes or less.

PDQ is an endpoint management platform designed for IT administrators and sysadmins to manage endpoints, deploy software, secure vulnerabilities, and automate IT. PDQ's cloud-native platform (formerly called PDQ Connect) is designed to get you up and running in minutes. When regulatory or compliance needs require it, PDQ can also be deployed on-premise with our Deploy & Inventory plan. Manage your organization's Windows and macOS machines from a central platform designed to make the grind of everyday IT workflows seamless and, dare we say, pretty damn quick.
