Success Stories

“I've now installed Diskeeper on 3 computers with the same result on all of them...significantly approved performance.

I most likely will recommend the rest of the company to invest in this software. The biggest reason for this is probably the opportunity to keep computers at least one extra year instead of replacing them. The applications we are running on these computers are:
- Citric clients
- Microsoft Office 2003
- AutoCad 2007 - SafeCad
- Registry Mechanic
- Skype
- Mobile Sync Software (Sony Ericsson)
- Trend Micro Office Scan 7.0 .“

“I have been very fond of the Diskeeper trial-version that was with my PC when bought it, therefore I naturally bought a licence to use the full version.

The I-FAAST feature is enabled and it has been used, but to be honest, I have no idea how it has helped the speed of my system. However the overall features of this premium edition of Diskeeper 2008, has surely improved the performance of my system. It is a brilliant idea to have the pc defrag when it is idle, thus making sure that the data is optimally stored on the physical level of the harddisk.

I most definently would, and has already, recommended the software for both friends, family and my custumers to my IT-consultant firm. At least for Windows XP.

I hope this has been helpful, and I thank for this great product.“

“I've used Diskeeper for a few years, and now have version 2008. All I can say is...great job. I have evaluated competitor products and still go back to Diskeeper. It is more expensive...but well worth the investment.

As Senior Network Engineer for the NIX Health Care System, I run a menagerie of products on my system...all at the same time. Unfortunately this causes a significant amount of constant fragmentation. Diskeeper 2008 with InvisiTasking is the only product I have found that is capable of tackling this job.

I am incredibly demanding on my hardware, very often taxing my laptop to the point where it becomes completely without user interaction while it performs tasks. Diskeeper is the only product to go through this type of treatment and still maintain a completely defragmented drive without any interaction on my part. Diskeeper...the ultimate defragmenter. “

Absolutely I do recommend Diskeeper to others. Diskeeper and InvisiTasking, as of V2007, was absolutely AWESOME! Diskeeper 2008 with InvisTasking & I-FAAST is even better.

My system performed much faster with early versions of Diskeeper.
My system performed even faster with less work with Diskeeper 2007 and InvisiTasking.
My system unbelievably performed even faster yet with Diskeeper 2008 using InvisiTasking + I-FAAST!!!!

Diskeeper can help us save money on laptop refreshes and make money on increased productivity.

Diskeeper absolutely ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am truly thrilled with the Diskeeper 2008 product. I had two servers that were having major issues with our backup software package. The backup program was actually crashing one server every time it ran and the other server wouldn’t complete a backup. Between Diskeeper and chkdsk, it resolved both server issues.

Because of my experience with Diskeeper, I am ordering 5 more Server licenses now and plan for more packages in the next budget cycle.

We are using Diskeeper 2008 as a stand alone service on three separate PC's. Mainly we are running ESRI GIS applications and MS Office, with large amounts of data. Our operations require us to constantly model data using subsets, deleting them, appending, etc., where we end up creating many files for use with a single project. After a while our individual PC's begin to show system degradation. The large data files we maintain would cause the built-in defragger to crash every time.

Needless to say, we went to Diskeeper for a solution. After install and initial setup, we haven't touched the software except to monitor reports. Everything is working better than it was prior to installing Diskeeper.

We originally were looking to try to defeat some disk performance issues for an application backended by MS SQL Server. The “Physical Disk I/O” and “Context Switches per Second” counters were consistently above an acceptable threshold on our Dell PowerEdge 2950 server. We did have the optimal RAID configuration for a SQL Server (RAID1 OS, RAID1 Log file volume, RAID0 for the TempDb, and a RAID5 DB volume), but were still seeing less than optimal performance.

Using the built-in defrag tool in Windows 2003, I checked the disks and found all volumes to be heavily fragmented. I then downloaded the Diskeeper Trialware and used the demo to defragment my SQL server volumes. It worked great and we gained noticeable performance both in terms of measurable (Performance counters went back under the thresholds) and anecdotal: our Users surveyed said they did see a boost in the speed of the particular application.

We did purchase 10 Diskeeper Server licenses and use it on our file and application server, including Exchange Server.

I would be glad to recommend Diskeeper. I have seen a difference in the demands on the server even when I manually ran a defrag during peak work time. No slow down was noticed.

We are a medical practice with four doctors in two offices. The server is located in our main office in Denison, Texas, our other office in Sherman Texas and is connected to our server by a point to point T-1. We have 26 work stations, which include 4 tablet PC's that the doctors use while seeing patients. We run two different software packages on the server: Centricity Physician Office Practice 2004, for scheduling and patient information. We also run Allscripts TouchChart electronic medical records, which we scan all patient documents into. We have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 RAID 10 server with 900 Gb hard drive space, 4 Gb of Ram, running 2 Intel Xeon dual core 2.0 Ghz processors.

Diskeeper 2008 server keeps our data system running clean and fast, with over 700,000 scanned in documents on our server. Diskeeper is a must in keeping the system from slowing down and files from being fragmented all over the hard drive. Things are running great. Thank you for a must-have product.

My interest in Diskeeper started when, for some reason my HDD became highly fragmented. Performance was as compromised as I had ever seen it. The defrag utility in WindowsXP SP2 would not touch the problem, at all. After researching the available products I purchased Diskeeper on-line. It took awhile but the application came through and restored my PC's performance to where it was, prior to the unexplained fragmentation issue.

Since that time I have performed a fresh OS and application re-install. I have trashed my other product and re-installed Diskeeper. I use ESET NOD32 antivirus, as well. In actual fact my PC is running faster then when it was new - at a level that I would expect from having a pair of 3GB processors and 2GB of RAM under the hood.

Usually old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill but not here. I listened to my wise son who considers other defraggers to be resource pigs and made the application switches some time ago. Now and again I look in on my drives (pair of 250GB SATA's and a 320GB external) and Diskeeper has maintained them essentially fragment free.

In short, I am delighted with the product and have recommended it to others an every opportunity.

Diskeeper is run every day and helps to keep the computer running smoothly, coupled with tune up utilities and Registry First aid platinum. The system runs very well an improvement over the standard defragmentation tools issued with windows. I have and will continue to recommend other users to Diskeeper as I find the whole experience with the software good, from the HCI of the software to the actual performance that it gives.

The scheduling function of defragmention makes it easy to have your hard disk operating at maximum efficiency depending on the frequency of defragmentation. I have also found myself defragmenting USB flash disks.

The fact that Diskeeper operates silently in the background with little or no user intervention makes it a must for any computer system. Be it a network or stand-alone PC.

With regards

The pc I am using Diskeeper on is a production pc. I now have 0 downtime on that PC. Daily defrag is one of the most important process one should put in process especially for a production PC. My PC now runs faster than before and is more available on the network for other PCs to access because I am close to 0 downtime. I would definitely recommend Diskeeper to anyone of my colleagues or my friends.

I would like to let you know that I am really (positively) surprised by the quality of your services and the professionalism that your company and the local reseller have demonstrated regarding our recent purchase of the Diskeeper 2007 Server licenses.
After I took the decision to proceed with the purchase of the above-mentioned licenses, everything worked perfectly well from your side: I contacted the local reseller (Mrs. Kyriazi @ Orthology Ltd) and a few minutes after hanging up the phone, I received the renewed quote (with the old good prices!). Then, I received an email from Leah with the URL to download the software and the license files (.dal) just a few minutes (or it was seconds?) after sending the offer-acceptance fax. Just two days later, I received a pack with the software media, the license and maintenance contract certificates, all formatted and packaged in a very professional way! And all these, without having to follow you up even for one time! If the software itself manages to fulfill the expectations (set by the product specifications), then I could definitely say that working with Diskeeper Corporation is a great pleasure!

Many thanks.

Being a seasoned user of your Diskeeper v7 and now a first time user of your 2007 Professional version I am please with the changes and improvements, that you have done to the product. We only use Diskeeper on our workstations for the time being, but I hope to add a Server version in the future.

We get two major benefits from the use of Diekeeper.
- helps keep your disk in good working condition by enforcing a process of (automatically) verifying harddisk health.
- improves disk preformance by reducing and maintaining harddisk i/o times at optimal levels.

I will and do recommend Diskeeper to my colleagues.

Diskeeper is working extremely well and has provided a measurable improvement in my system performance.

I find the background tasking of Diskeeper using spare processor cycles to be a fantastic way of keeping my system performing at its best without having to dedicate time and resources to the act of defragmentation

I would and HAVE unhesitatingly recommended Diskeeper to a number of my IT Colleagues

Many thanks for a superb product! :-)

I definitely would recommend Diskeeper to everyone. It really makes a serious difference and for those who do not have time to loose it is a real booster as you don't have to wait hours as you would with the standard windows disk defragmenter. It is worth the price ten times over!

I am thoroughly satisfied with Diskeeper.. It is doing a far better job of defragmenting than the built-in system ever did. I have already recommended it and would do again

Since having installed Diskeeper I have found the following benefits.

My main computer runs like it did on the day everything was installed. Over the six months before I installed Diskeeper my computer was gradually getting slower and slower. I was considering upgrading the computer (the second time in six months), when I thought I would give Diskeeper a go. Having installed and run a full scan (which took about 10 hours) my computer was better than new.

Having set up Set it and Forget It I now have a computer that just defragments itself, I no longer get a machine that slows down, and then I think I should defragment - this takes times - it just happens. You can just forget that defragmentation is a problem.

I use Diskeeper in a small office and will be installing it on other computers as funds allow.

I am already recommending Diskeeper to others.
Thank you for a great product. .

"My computer is now performing much better and more reliably than before. With Diskeeper I trust that I have done all that I can do to make my computer work better. We do a lot of work with virtual server on our laptops, which fragments the heck out of a nice hard drive, and causes poor performance.

I would most definitely recommend Diskeeper to others...actually, I already have. A very tech savvy colleague of mine recommended it to me, originally."

"I would like to confirm that I am extremely pleased with Diskeeper Home Edition. Before I purchased it, my PC's performance had become rather sluggish, but now following the daily 'defrag' by Diskeeper, my PC has returned to being as fast as the day I bought it. I have already recommended it to other people and will continue to do so. ".

"I bought Diskeeper because it is incredibly quick and transparent. It took me 8 hours to do a 20G defrag using Windows. Diskeeper did the same drive a few months later in 20 minutes. Diskeeper is a great application and add to that, your technical support is really fast and very helpful".

"Diskeeper is an excellent product that I have used for many years. The new version is the best yet and works perfectly and at remarkable speed. My drives total nearly 300Gb so I need fast defragmentation. The idea of automatic defragmentation is particularly good. I wish you every success with this software and would recommend it to any PC used".

Diskeeper allows me to override my smart schedule by delaying the defragmentation process by a said number of hours. This is very useful if I have a very busy workload that requires as much processor resources as possible. Defragmentation is absolutely essential and if not performed regularly based on usage will result in a significant decrease in system performance.

"Internally, here at Microsoft, we all use Diskeeper. Everybody uses it. People who use defragmentation programs use Diskeeper. There is nothing else like it.

We wouldn't use anything else. "We [Microsoft and Diskeeper Corporation] have great collaboration between the two companies. They [Diskeeper Corporation] provide great training and support."

We are currently using Diskeeper Enterprise Edition on one of our file share servers, this server is constantly bombarded with changes therefore the drives are always fragmented; your product runs every night to help maintain a low fragmentation, thus prolonging the life of the drives.

The "Set It and Forget It" option is very helpful and we found that the server is performing a lot better; the health of the drives has vastly improved.

The server we run Diskeeper has Win2003 server and it hosts all of our 1738 terminal server user profiles and personal areas. Obviously the server is key to our business. A fast and reliable server is a must and your product helps us to maintain this.

I would recommend this product to people who use terminal servers because all our profile and user file shares are also held on this server and originally many were experiencing slow logons, but after Diskeeper was installed, we found that the overall speed and efficiency of the server improved.

So all in all, we are very happy with the results generated by Diskeeper.

I'm completely satisfied with Diskeeper. We use it on all 50 of our servers, 22 of which are running Citrix Metaframe XP and get trashed every day with users logging in and out constantly all day. Previously we were unable to really use Diskeeper to its full potential. Now with the Administrative Edition we are able to centrally manage and log defragmentation runs nightly. The Smart Scheduling feature is also very handy because I don't have time to figure out the best time to run defrag on 50 servers especially with nightly backups running concurrently, now this does it for me within the limits I set. Then I can use the reporting tool to easily summarize the result of the night's defragmentation runs. I've also noticed that the engine runs much quicker and is better at optimizing my disks for performance. Even the UI is greatly improved and easier to use.

We are a healthcare corporation with a centralized server network and about 30 WAN locations throughout New England . Our servers are all Windows 2000 with Citrix Metaframe XPe on the front-end. We mostly run Microsoft Office products along with customized clinical and accounting applications.

All in all, this is a pretty complete defragmentation solution which I would recommend to others, from the casual home user to the corporate enterprise.

Fragmented file servers took around 16 hours to back up each night, leaving no time for maintenance, virus scan or anything else. [With Diskeeper,] backups now take a maximum of 4 hours!

The problem we were having was, the server would get so busy that it would stop processing I/O requests and network traffic would just hang. Working with Microsoft and Compaq, we concluded this was due to fragmentation. When we installed Diskeeper, it resolved the problem overnight and the servers have been running smoothly ever since.

I have found Diskeeper to be less intrusive on other processes while it performs its tasks. Experience with default defragmenters shows that sometimes they will hang or get stuck on a given section of the hard disk. This is an extremely important problem solved by using Diskeeper over the Windows built-in defragmenter.

Bob Kranson, Compuware
Senior Support Analyst

Prior to using Diskeeper, I was manually defragging them using the built-in utility which, at one point, caused one of the servers to totally lose its disk MFT configuration and causing me to have to rebuild the entire server.

That's the scoop. Manual defrag stinks and the built-in utility is in no way viable for a server.

Wayne Jones, Maney & Gordon , PA
Information Technology Manager

Before installing Diskeeper, the computer had to be rebooted on a regular basis because it was slowing down; access to files was always slow, especially when up to 10 people could be accessing the drive. Since I installed Diskeeper the number of reboots has dramatically reduced, file access is much quicker, and whenever I look at the state of the disk there are very few fragmented files. With the PC in action 24 hrs a day, the Smart Scheduling works very well.

I am absolutely, fantastically and completely elated with the value, performance and ROI I have received from my Diskeeper software purchase. Diskeeper paid for itself in less than a day!

I don't have to buy a new PC, thanks to Diskeeper. Diskeeper should be on everyone's machine. After using Diskeeper for a few minutes, my machine was twice as fast....just like it used to be and seems faster than ever before!!!

Keep in mind that I am a computer professional by trade...and therefore I appreciate the value of healthy computing. I therefore periodically defragged my machine...but I could never afford to defrag frequently enough to keep my machine performing at top speed. I just can't afford the time it takes to use the built-in Microsoft Windows defrag system utility. It just takes too long and gets in the way of productive work.

Diskeeper solved all my problems! Diskeeper's "Set It and Forget It!" mode is a life saver...and I'm not exaggerating!

This is an absolutely wonderful software product that EVERYONE should use.

While I am not in a position to negotiate site licences for IBM, I believe everyone at IBM and elsewhere should use Diskeeper every night. If you ever find yourself in a position to negotiate a volume purchase for IBM, I would be more than willing to sing the amazing praises of Diskeeper.

Diskeeper ROCKS! And it is absolutely painless, worry-free, automatic and awesome!

I love Diskeeper! What I have observed so far is that Diskeeper v9.0 has transparently prevented disk fragmentation from building up and measurably slowing down our production servers. The ability to prevent fragmentation from building up without impacting the CPU load on the servers has been a key feature of the product.

The "Terabyte" engine is awesome! We run two SQL servers with Raid-5 Arrays of 1.6Tb & 3.75 Tb respectively, with 30% free space. We are running on HP Proliant DL-360 & 380 G3 Servers. Diskeeper v9.0 has proven its ability to completely defragment these arrays in just a few hours. I am both amazed and impressed! The Terabyte Volume Engine solved a performance issue caused by fragmentation. Previously we were unable to defragment the Terabyte arrays and fragmentation was resulting in processing delays of incoming data files. This resulted in our SQL server falling behind during times of high usage. Now thanks to Diskeeper v9.0, we have breathing room to handle future growth. I am so impressed with Diskeeper on our servers that I purchased a copy for my workstation & am recommending it to all of my co-workers as well as to my manager.

Thank You for an excellent product!

Systems, which exhibited slowdown, have returned to normal speedy functioning with Diskeeper's help. We are using our system to handle a fairly high volume of data involving payroll, human resources and worker's compensation insurance for roughly 10,000 employees. Payroll processing poses the most mission critical aspect of our business, as well as the most speed sensitive and the least fault tolerant. Your product helps keep our system running smoothly. We are running a two-domain network system with thirty workstations and three servers. Our systems had experienced performance slowdowns due to fragmentation, and Diskeeper brought them back to normal functioning. It is worth a great deal to me to have the peace of mind I get from knowing that a product of Diskeeper's quality and effectiveness is running on the workstations I am responsible for maintaining.

Diskeeper works great! I did see the expected results. The problem we were having was the server would get so busy that it would stop possessing I/O requests and network traffic would just hang. Working with Microsoft and Compaq we concluded it was due to fragmentation. When we installed Diskeeper it resolved the problem overnight. Both servers have been running since we installed the Diskeeper product with no more network access problems.

We use Compaq, HP servers. Storagetek, and Adic tape libraries. These are just file servers for all of our production data. We have a third server that is used for archive data. The archive server is using a product from OTG software called DiskXtender which we found requires Diskeeper in order for it to work. We installed DiskXtender on our server last April and spent all summer trying to get it to work. In the end one of the main fixes was adding Diskeeper to defrag the drive. That fix led to adding it to the other two servers because they were having a similar problem.

I do recommend Diskeeper to others.

In brief, I can honestly say that Diskeeper is a fabulous product, which facilitates the maintenance of our servers and certain workstations.

Currently we are utilizing the Smart Scheduler on our servers, which has proved to be a true turnkey solution for our organization. I would definitely recommend Diskeeper to all of my colleagues out there in the field.

Diskeeper has rescued me from some major Windows XP NTFS bugs. Without Diskeeper's Frag Guard & Smart Scheduling my hard disk was getting severely fragmented on an hourly basis, causing Windows Explorer to frequently take 6-10 minutes to open a folder or Internet Explorer to take as long to open a browser window.

Microsoft tech support & I have been struggling with this problem for months with no resolution or explanation of what was causing the problem. The system would also spontaneously reboot on a regular basis.

Diskeeper's analysis helped me recognize the cause of the problem & provided a workaround to NTFS's shortcomings in less than an hour. Before Diskeeper, I lost thousands of dollars in billable hours. Now Diskeeper keeps things humming.
