I have purchased/used several explorers over the last 14 years. This software stands in a league all it's own. I use the portable version on a Corsair Survivor GT. I often have 10-12 tabs open at a time (accessing Network drives). XYplorer is extremely fast at accessing the network drives and uses very little resources. Adding templates to the 'New Items' options (right click in a window) ==> provide a great deal of flexibility. The Wiki knowledgebase link (from the developer's web site) provides a wealth of easily understandable information. The scripting appears to be quite powerful. I am just starting to review it's features. I spend approximately $1,500 on software each year and this is one of the best applications I own. I like the software enough to buy a lifetime license (and I very seldom buy these type of licenses). Thanks for the great software. I look forward to learning many more of it's features.

System Mechanic
  • Free Trial ($49.95)
  • Win2000/XP/Vista/7

qleft  Lack of customer support  qright

System Mechanic version 7.05
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

I have used SM for several years. I have always thought the product was a 4/5 on the review. I have upgraded to SM7 and experienced several problems. I thoroughly searched the site's knowledgebase and the problems were not documented. I tried to contact support on 4 different occasions. I continue to receive lots of automatically generated emails, however, nothing addressing the questions I have asked. It is unfortunate that Iolo has built a fairly solid product and combined it with a much lesser quality of customer service. I will be researching another product for my system maintenance needs. I hope this review is helpful. Thanks.

xplorer2 version 1.6.0.1

I have been using xplorer2 for over a year. I have also recommended this product to several of my friends. Every person I know using this product - thinks it is the best software available on the pc. If my pc is on - this product is loaded. I have 'tested' several other Explorer based packages and nothing compares to the functionality/stability of this tool. You will not be disappointed.

SyncBackSE
  • Free Trial ($30.00)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Best data backup utility available  qright

SyncBackSE version 3.2.7.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I spend $700-800 a year on software. This software could easily sell for twice the asking price. I own 6-7 different backup utilities and I like this one the best. I back up approximately 1.2 gig of data on my internal drive to an external. The first backup (a full backup) takes the longest. It is still much quicker than a Windows Explorer copy. The 2-n backups are incrementals. Incremental backups of 10-15 files may take 5-6 seconds. I highly recommend this package to anyone. I use this package for data backups and Image the op sys drive about every 2 weeks. SyncBackSE has the ability to sync and many other features that I not yet explored (I will research the other features as well). I am amazed this quality software is priced so inexpensively. I have no allegiance to this software/developer - other than the fact they produce an excellent product. You won't regret purchasing SyncBackSe.
