Application Whitelist

Is there a way to set a list of allowed applications in PDQ Inventory or to create a "whitelist"?

Occasionally, some of our users will install applications on their own that are not part of our "Corporate Approved Application List", and I would like to have someway to quickly differentiate between what is and what isn't approved in PDQ Inventory.

Thanx...

You will need to use another application to blacklist applications. The only one I have experience with is Carbon Black.

You may be able to use PDQ to create a bunch of software collections, then another collection to add computers that have software that is not part of the software collections. The collections seem a bit more complex than I thought when I started working on it.

Hopefully someone can come up with a collection for it. I will not prevent users, but the collection will show what is installed. That can be used to autodeploy an uninstall command.
