Pros
Very comprehensive and easy to use. Novice may find at first it to be a little over-whelming with the amount of info it provides.
Cons
Can take some time to effectively scan your system. Reports are browser based but you do not need to be connected to the internet to receive the reports so that is a plus.
Summary
Despite the review of Download, novice may find at first it to be a little over-whelming with the amount of info it provides but will grasp fairly easy.
Pros
gives a complete computer profile
invaluable when formatting my hard drive
gives me useful hard ware information
easy to use
Cons
none that I can see
Summary
This is one of the most useful programs I have ever encountered. I run Belarc every 3 months or so and print the results so that I have a current profile of my computer. It has saved me more than once when I have had to format a hard drive.
Pros
I displays all OEM keys that are present on the system. It even displayed keys I had no idea existed! As an IT project manager, I would highly recommend this app for IT professionals that need to capture needed system data.
Cons
None to report.
Pros
Gave me so much more info than I expected.
Download, install and collection of info took very little time.
Cons
I cannot think of any right now
Summary
This program really gives you so much more info than sysinfo32 or other ways you can obtain info out of your computer for the effort it takes.
Pros
Gives a detailed listing of all downloaded programs, update history, missing patches and updates, and the condition of your computer as far as virus vulnerabilities.
Cons
The Windows security update Belarc said I needed was not applicable and would not download. The message I received was "this program is not needed for your computer."
Summary
As far as I'm concerned the jury is still out. The Updated pages from the manufacturers and Microsoft do a better job of scanning programs for out of date versions.
Pros
fast download
no toolbars and other junk
very clean, very reputable
Cons
it didn't know how to fix me a cup of coffee
Summary
In my top 3 utility programs since I began using computers
1. Glary Utilities
2. Malwarebyte's Antimalware
3. Belarc Advisor
Don't know your product key to activate windows on new computer from same disk? Belarc will show it to you. Want more ram but don't know what kind? Belarc will show it to you. This is the best information retiever you're going to find most likely.
Pros
Presents a very complete picture of your computer. Using on 4 different computers- 3 Windows versions- and it details each and shows what might be missing.
Cons
It does take a long time to load and gather info.
Summary
Easy to understand with no need to have great computer skills to read.
Pros
I needed to recover my Outlook product key and it displays these.
Cons
None regarding what I needed it for.
Summary
Great product for retrieving product keys.
Pros
Very organized. Complete with explanations of what is OK, what is not so OK and generally how to make fixes.
Cons
I think this formal analysis is more directed to a commercial business user and many comments and "fixes" may not be applicable to a casual residential user.
Perhaps the specific areas that a Casual user should address could be emphasized in the analysis output?
Pros
Easy to run
Comprehensive info
Cons
Can't print summary report from screen or save to a file. Adding this feature would make it a 5-star program.
Summary
Provides a full list of all installed programs and additional info on computer system. Extremely helpful! Great to have all this info in one location.
