“Diskeeper is an absolutely great product that our company has been using for 5 years. The Windows built-in product we started using was good but nothing like Diskeeper. This program is simply amazing. It is so lightweight, easy to use and keeps the computers running like new. It is nice to work with a company that spends so much time and resources in getting their products to run as well as yours do. Our performance HelpDesk calls were affected the most. Those type of trouble tickets just do not happen anymore."
“It just makes sense to me that if the data thoroughput on my hard drive is faster due to less fragmentation then the computer will be able to read or write data quicker which will mean it will use less energy performing the tasks over time. And it also goes without saying that I will be able to get more work done in less time which will in turn make me more efficient.”
“We have not used the built-in defrag in several years. It consumed more CPU, required scheduling, and had conflicts with SQL locked files and other custom applications we run. Diskeeper resolved all of these issues - very efficient. With the Diskeeper Admin Console, upgrades and deployments are very simple; scan, select, and deploy, then watch the report update. It doesn’t get much easier than that.”
“We are running Diskeeper with IntelliWrite fragmentation prevention technology on our PCs and Servers. My experience is the peace of mind that comes from knowing I have taken intelligent steps to keep us tuned up and running with the most possible uptime. InvisiTasking is most definitely important and does make my job easier. I have deployed VMware along with an EqualLogic SAN. The SAN holds our vital data and I want to make sure it runs with optimal performance. I implemented Diskeeper on the SAN early and it prevented performance issues. It was getting hammered all the time and running Diskeeper makes me feel more secure. I feel better knowing that the disks are being cared for with Diskeeper. That’s why I keep my maintenance up to date!”
"After months of trouble shooting, we ran the same query with V-locity on all the Cognos VMs. It completed in one third of the time—a huge improvement for our users. We're now rolling out V-locity to the rest of our virtual environment and assessing it for physical servers."
“Diskeeper is definitely a vital tool that increases and improves performance, especially in database environments. We utilize Diskeeper on all of our servers. It works well, does the job and we are pleased with the results. I’m no longer worried about file fragmentation and I know that my servers operate at peak performance. We use EMC Clarion SAN and Diskeeper defragments 200 GB of data from the SAN very efficiently, without impacting the server performance."
“I will be happy to give references for Diskeeper to other Network Administrators. I'm using Diskeeper EnterpriseServer on two different RAID drives. The RAID 5 is 6.35 TB and the other is on a large disk array with RAID 5 that is partitioned into smaller disk, the largest being 2.25 TB. I run Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers used as domain controllers, and run Retrospect Backup Server edition. Before installing Diskeeper my backup application would crash, or use high amounts of resources. I follow a disk-to-disk-to-tape regimen for backups. The disks file IO with constant additions/removal of backup files. Diskeeper keeps the level of fragmentation of these disks to a minimum.”
"Our doctors and clinicians were losing too much time on basic tasks like waiting on medical images to load, or scanning images, or even just navigating from screen to screen within the application. The easy answer is to buy new server and storage hardware; however, that’s also a very expensive answer. When you’re a small hospital, you need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your existing infrastructure. Since we don’t have the budget luxury of doing hardware refreshes every three years, we need to get at least five years or more from our storage backend."
“Diskeeper has helped us in a real-world sense. I can point to concrete performance gains in our Citrix environment which resulted in happier users. Furthermore, prior to installing Diskeeper some of our lengthy batch process jobs would often fail at the end of the job with a ‘delayed write fail’ message. I have not seen that error message EVER again once I installed Diskeeper on the file server hosting that volume and that was over three years ago.”
“Our issues prior to installing Diskeeper were numerous support calls for slow computers, which our first response would be to run the Windows built-in defragmenter. This provided an increase in the workstation’s performance. After operating for years this way, we finally were convinced we needed to use something more robust than the built-in defrag tool. We purchased Diskeeper for the entire organization and to this day we have not manually run defrag utilities. The “Set It and Forget It” features in Diskeeper work great and we really do forget it up until time to upgrade."
"After V-locity was deployed, SharePoint backup times were cut in more than half. Backups that took four to five hours now take just two hours. I now have my Friday evenings back."
“Everything is going well with Diskeeper. No complaints from end users and don't think they wouldn’t notice a difference... which is good because if the system were slow, my phone would be ringing. Diskeeper is installed on all systems. The servers are Windows 2003 and 2008. All desktops are Windows XP. We used to manually have to defragment the HD’s which was a major pain and used a lot of IT time. This usually happened when the system was 6 months old. Now I can push Diskeeper out to the machines and let automatic defrag do the work. This cuts down on many, MANY of my IT Related service calls due to slow or sluggish PC’s, or dreaded blue screen of death."
“The Undelete software that we use on all our Regional Servers is undoubtedly worth every penny. It has saved our Techs numerous hours in restoring files inadvertently deleted as opposed to having to restore from backup tape.”
“I have fewer response time issues with the desktop PCs because I run Diskeeper. While others experience slowdowns of their machines, mine just keep chugging along nicely. No lockups, no momentary lags, and half as many HelpDesk issues as others around me have. In fact I never get a call about a PC hardware issue; it’s usually a software problem. I also run my PCs 24x7, which means more wear and tear over time. They do nightly backups, database queries and many other things. Mine even run over weekends but still do better than the other computers."
“I’ve found the disk I/O reporting to be a huge benefit. You get real numbers and not generic representations of purported improvements. The other huge benefit has been performance: workload improvements of 100-200%. I am no longer bottlenecked by the drive performance of my older servers.”
