First Plug vs. PDQ

First Plug helps companies with remote and distributed teams purchase, deploy, and manage hardware across multiple countries, covering the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding new hires to offboarding and device recovery. As remote work continues to scale globally, many technology companies struggle with hardware logistics, asset visibility, and operational control across regions. First Plug was built to solve that exact problem.

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.
