Product Spotlight

Review: Diskeeper Professional

Takeaway: Diskeeper is very focused on the enterprise market, and includes features that are above and beyond its defragging capabilities.

Main window

This is the main window of Diskeeper Professional. As you can see, it is substantially more complex than the other defrag apps we have featured in Product Spotlight. That information area in the bottom scrolls down fairly far, too!

File analysis

The analysis provides a useful view of what files are poorly performing.

Disk analysis

Disk analysis also shows the traditional fragmentation map.

Options

The options are pretty in-depth. One that systems administrators might appreciate is that Diskeeper Professional can log to Event Log, and this is very configurable.

Charts

This is an example of the various graphs and charts that Diskeeper Professional produces. This would not look out of place in, say, a server performance log, but it feels like overkill for a defrag utility.
