One tab to see every app in your environment, what's outdated, and what's actively being exploited.
Yeah, it's kind of a big deal. PDQ Connect's Software tab gives you an environment-wide view of all installed software across your managed devices — including version status and, for premium users, vulnerability data — and lets you deploy updates or remediate vulnerabilities directly from the same screen.
What's covered:
What the Software tab shows: all software detected across every managed device in one view
How software is categorized: latest version installed, outdated, and not installed — with device counts
Deploying an update to outdated devices directly from the Software tab in a few clicks
How the outdated column lets you quickly scan for software that needs attention across your environment
Using the Software tab to respond to newly disclosed exploits by identifying and patching affected devices fast
Vulnerability data in the Software tab (PDQ Connect premium feature): CVEs organized by application
How vulnerability counts and affected device counts are displayed per application
Clicking into a vulnerable application to see individual CVEs and impacted devices
One-click remediation: deploying the correct package to all vulnerable devices automatically
