Auslogics BoostSpeed is
an outstanding PC system utilities application that’s sure to keep
your computer optimized and maintained with its numerous speedy,
effective features. Every feature in this application that seemed
difficult to use had an additional section that simplified its tools
for less experienced users. The only disappointing thing about this PC
system utilities application is the sparse customer service that backs
it up. This application is easy to use, but it would be helpful to have
a solid support system to lean on in case anything goes wrong.
Management/Diagnostics:
Auslogics
Disk Explorer finds the areas on your hard drive that are taking up
the most space. With this feature within the PC system utilities, you
can free the maximum amount of hard drive space when you start to run
out.
Auslogics
Startup Manager lists the processes that are currently set to open
when your operating system starts up. This feature allows you disable
dangerous startup entries, but it falls short because it doesn’t
indicate whether your system needs any of the startup entries to
function properly. Unfortunately, you won't know whether one of the
startup entries was important until disabling it causes your system to
slow down or crash.
Auslogics
Uninstall Manager displays the applications you have installed and
indicates whether they’re well-used or trustworthy. With this list, you
can choose to uninstall any of the applications using the uninstaller
that comes with that respective application. We would’ve liked it if
this feature went back and removed any traces the uninstalled
application left on your hard drive or in the registry though.
Auslogics
System Information provides in-depth data on every piece of hardware
that’s associated with your computer. With this feature, you can
maintain your computer better because you will be able to look up
support information for each peripheral device based on the manufacturer
and model number.
Auslogics
Task Manager is one of the PC system utilities that let you terminate
applications, processes, services and locked files that are currently
running on your system. Other task managers only let you deal with
applications, so it’s nice to see one that expands its coverage into
other items running on your system.
The
System Scan PC system utilities feature looks for junk and fragmented
files in addition to disk and registry errors. Since this feature
doesn’t incorporate any optimization features, we question its
effectiveness. It does make a difference, but without optimization
features, that difference isn’t going to be significant. The System
Advisor picks up where the System Scan left off, presenting a list of
additional tweaks that could improve the performance of your system.
The
Resource Usage section displays graphs that analyze how a variety of
system resources are being used. This PC system utilities feature is
strictly informational and does not offer any options for increasing
your system’s performance in any of the areas it analyzes.
Repair/Recovery:
Auslogics
Disk Cleaner empties your browser cache and the history of what you’ve
downloaded from the internet. It also removes unnecessary system files
and temporary files. We were impressed with this PC system utilities
feature because it dealt with 22 file types that usually clutter hard
drivers. Auslogics Disk Doctor analyzes and repairs your hard drive
much faster than similar features. Usually, you would have to restart
your computer and wait a long time to complete this process, but this
feature does it all without interrupting your current tasks.
Auslogics
Duplicate File Finder browses your hard drive looking for files that
are the same size and share similar names and content.
Auslogics
File Recovery effectively restores files you’ve deleted from your hard
drive or from various forms of removable media. You can also use this
PC system utilities feature to determine if a file you wanted to delete
really was deleted after all. If any changes you make with Auslogics
BoostSpeed result in your system performing worse than it did before,
you can undo them in the Auslogics Rescue Center.
Auslogics
Registry Cleaner scans 16 types of registry keys looking for invalid
or erroneous entries. We were impressed with how fast this PC system
utilities application processed the registry. It scanned thousands of
registry keys in a matter of moments and returned our scan results
quicker than we had seen with other registry cleaners.
Auslogics
Track Eraser is one of the PC system utilities that remove traces of
your activity from Windows, your internet browsers and other
applications in an effort to maintain your privacy. If this information
remains on your system, it can be used to track your activity and
possibly steal your personal information. Auslogics File Shredder
permanently deletes selected files or folders, but it doesn’t let you
choose the method it’s going to use to delete them. Auslogics Disk Wiper
permanently erases files you’ve already deleted, ensuring that files
you’ve deleted remain deleted.
Optimization:
Auslogics
Disk Defrag does a fantastic job of quickly scanning your hard drive
for fragmented files. The disk defragmenter that comes with Windows
slows down your computer while it's working. This PC system utilities
feature completes the defragmentation process so fast that it doesn’t
even have time to slow your computer down.
Auslogics
Tweak Manager presents a wide assortment of tweaks you can perform to
optimize the performance of your system. We liked this feature because
of the optimize button that’s in each section; however, the fact you
have to optimize each section individually can get a little tedious.
Auslogics BoostSpeed’s Optimize Services feature doesn’t do enough to
truly optimize every Windows service. It only deals with a handful of
services while there are plenty of them that could easily be disabled.
Auslogics
Registry Defrag is another PC system utilities feature that benefits
from the lightning fast scan speeds present in Auslogics BoostSpeed. We
were disappointed that we had to reboot our computer to complete the
defragmentation process, though.
Auslogics
Internet Optimizer is broken into sections for manual and automatic
optimization. We recommend the automatic optimization section. The
manual optimization section is far more complicated, and the odds that
you'll accidentally disable an important setting are high. The
automatic optimization process might take a little longer, but you’re
not going to open yourself up to the risk of disaster if you use it.
Ease of Use:
We
found Auslogics BoostSpeed to be very easy to use. All of its
features, except for the manual optimization option for your internet
connection and the system tweaks section, were self-explanatory. Every
feature that scans your hard drive or the registry does so in a
remarkably quick fashion. This PC system utilities application has
pretty much every tool you would need to keep your computer running
smooth and presents them in a fashion that makes them universally
usable.
Help & Support:
Auslogics
provides a frequently asked questions section for this PC system
utilities application, but it covers more common sense terms and
problems with installing and registering the application than anything
else. They have a contact form on their website in case you have any
pressing questions. We would like to see them have more contact methods
and add information to their help documentation. The current resources
can answer numerous questions, but they don't present the user with
enough options to get their questions answered in a way that works best
for them.
Summary:
Auslogics BoostSpeed
has the tools necessary for getting the job done. If Auslogics were to
improve their customer service for this application, it would increase
its standing in this category. We were impressed with how fast this
application’s features were. You’re going to be able to optimize your
computer quickly if you perform an all-in-one scan or use each of this
application’s features individually.
