Going back to Manage Engine Desktop Central. Gonna miss you PDQ. :-(

Well, I finally give up. I can't keep having to ask PDQ to continually rebuild (or revert to a backup of) my corrupt SQLite databases. It used to be a few times a month, then a few times a week, and now it's daily.

Now I'm having problems even getting the system running to copy my custom deployment installs over to Desktop Central.

Uuuggg...

I REALLY wanted PDQ to work for us. I LOVE the software (when it works), I've spent a ton of time and a lot of hardware costs on multiple machines to split up the workload but unfortunately nothing I do can overcome the limitations of using SQLite.

Please let me know if you ever decide to offer a solution that will allow your customers to use an Enterprise database. We would be more than happy to pay 10 times the current price for a solution that works.

Let the downvotes rain on me.

I'm curious on how many PCs do you have in your environment?

We currently have just over 25,000 endpoints and add around 400 new endpoints a month. A mixture of both Workstations and Laptops over 52 different locations.

If you want to discuss this further please email me at robertbasil@robertbasil.com as I rarely check this community any more, just happened to check in as it's a slow "Read Only" Friday afternoon. 😃

Thanks.
