PDQ Link - is this the new Agent?
Saw the announcement about PDQ Link and got excited, thinking this was going to be like the PDQ Agent I saw discussion of - even was invited by PDQ to fill out a survey related to earlier this year. But then I read the details of the program and was a little confused, trying not to be disappointed.
My question is: is PDQ Link basically what PDQ is going to offer for remote users to use PDQ Deploy/Inventory properly - put another way, PDQ Link is the new PDQ Agent and there is no other PDQ Agent in planning / development?

That's unfortunate, I was hoping for an agent to assist with resolving some of my more nettlesome scans, especially since the advent of Covid-19 and resulting the shift to the majority of company staff working from home.
The challenge I am facing are the LTE dongles and Mifi devices given to staff to use the company APN, these devices act as standalone routers with dedicated firewalls that prevent me from scanning the systems. I also have systems sitting on customer networks to control stocks that i cannot get too where the agent would have assisted greatly.
Awesome product though, love it!

Do you use a VPN with these clients currently Rudi? If not (or even if so potentially), PDQ Link could still help. It's just maybe a little more than you are asking for if you don't for some reason want a VPN, or if you already have a VPN and are afraid of introducing a second one just because it works better with DNS, and thus PDQ scans/deploys. That was my main disappointment in this not being an Agent. But if you were a small company that had never setup a VPN, and suddenly find yourself with users at home, it is probably a great add, so still kudos to PDQ.
