Reviewed by: CNET staff on July 29, 2009
SiSoftware Sandra provides a robust package of diagnostic tools for testing your system and teasing out its problems--or potential headaches.
This download launches a cheerfully designed interface with an array of colorful--one might even say sprightly--icons for each of its tools. Its arrangement of tools was nicely categorized for the user's benefit: Computer Maintenance, Module Types (Benchmarks, Hardware, Software, Support), and Program Maintenance. Across the top of the window are tabs for each category that match the icons, and each tab provides access to a set of focused tools. We were very pleased with SiSoftware Sandra's performance during our tests. We liked that we could choose from a thorough list of options of items for tests--less robust packages simply run their diagnostics without informing the user just what is getting tested or how. Novices may be in the dark about some of the particulars listed by the app's option boxes, but experienced users will appreciate the thoroughness. Thanks to these option lists, we were able to pinpoint devices, peripherals, and processes for testing; we didn't have to wait for the tool to run a complete test through our entire system. We also liked the benchmarking and reporting features, which are required for anyone interested in comparing performance over time or developing trending reports.
For those running SiSoftware Sandra from a server for network diagnostics, the 75-module limit for the trial version may seem inadequate. However, the price is nice for the robust feature set provided by this toolbox.

Version: SiSoftware Sandra 2009.SP3c
"A good scanning tool for my PC's innards."
Pros: It scanned my computer and gave me the necessary information I wanted and needed, i.e. model numbers for the hard drive, motherboard etc.
Cons: Although it gave me the information I wanted, I couldn't find a way of 'printing off' that information. I had to type it up manually myself, in order to print it out. I've only downloaded the 'free' version so that 's probably why?
Summary: I found it comprehensive enough for me, and more acurate than another scan I did with Crucial UK Scan, which told me I had 3 Memory slots and not the 2 Sandra said, which turned out to be correct when I physically looked inside. It also gave me the ... read more >>
