Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro aspires to replace the basic Windows defragmenter, offering useful features like Disk Zone and Free Zone optimizations. It has a very informative interface with all the options you need and includes statistics, reports, and scheduling, but it isn't the fastest of utilities.

Pros

Very customizable: Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro does not only standard defrag operations, but also lets you choose from different types of advanced defragmentation, use task scheduling, and check before and after results. It can handle SSD drives, as well.

Disk Zone and Free Zone optimization modes: Of all the available defrag modes, we liked these two the most, because they bring good improvements to slow and small drives typically found in laptops. Free Zone optimization released 3GB in a 90 percent full 2.5-inch 250GB disc, while Disk Zone optimization enhanced speed by cleverly positioning the more frequently used data in the faster disk surface areas.

Cons

Defrag times: While analysis takes only a few minutes and basic defrags allow you to run other apps without significant lag, more advanced defrag operations can last between four and seven hours. What's more, for the free space optimization, our computer had to be restarted for the defrag to take place before Windows loaded.

Bottom Line

The well-featured Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro satisfies high defrag requirements, an improvement over the default Windows defragmentation app. Large 3.5-inch drives hardly need it, though, and will be fine with the default Windows utility. However, if you own smaller capacity 5400 RPM drives, then the $29.95 price tag makes sense.

Too expensive for a one year license.
Alighieri256February 14, 2015
Pros
Works great. Exactly what I expected.
Cons
It didn't even occur to me that the license would be $30 for only one year. That's what I would expect to pay for a lifetime license. Oh well. I certainly won't be renewing and wouldn't have wasted the money in the first place if I had seen that it was a year.
Summary
Cannot install 4.3.8.0
JohnUSA9April 4, 2014
Pros
Older versions were good
Cons
I cannot install this new 4.3.8.0 version. Keeps hanging up near the end of installation. Auslogics needs to fix it ASAP.
Summary
Cannot use it without a proper installation.
Still a great professional defragger
tjazzzzzFebruary 3, 2014
Pros
Tons & tons of options for those who love tweaking their computers
Cons
none for me
Summary
I have had to contact Auslogics regarding a different product (one of their free ones actually) and they were prompt and helpful in their response. Seems like the previous reviewer is talking about a different company than the one I dealt with. I have written them both via email and through their facebook page and they replied both ways. Never a problem with any of my licenses (and I've bought quite a number from this company over the years). Auslogics has earned my personal trust and support.
Its The Company
BearPuppyJanuary 31, 2014
Pros
Make no mistake, the product itself is fine, and I've used it for many years.
Cons
The problem, and the reason for the 1 star rating, is the company. For years when you purchased a license it was for a lifetime; now they've switched to a 1-year license model. OK, fine, a 'too bad' decision, but one they're entitled to make. What isn't OK is their unwillingness to honor a 1 year license, which I entered on October of 2013. By their own terms this should enable me to have updates until October 2014 (9 months from when I'm writing this review). They haven't even acknowledge the polite email I sent asking them to honor their own license.
Summary
The attitude embodied by Auslogic's unwillingness to honor their own license terms is something I'm unwilling to partake in. I now use Wise Disk Defrag in their free tool Wise Disk Cleaner. So far I've found it a speedy and quite usable product. Goodbye Auslogic, I don't do business with crooks.
Another great program from Auslogics
Tom-o-HawkJanuary 19, 2014
Pros
I actually won a license to this program and only have it on one of my computers, but it's the same as a paid version and it works just as great. The number of features included is really impressive. Defrags system files on bootup.
Cons
Its extensive functionality can be a con, especially for novice users who may not know the terms used or what each feature is good for. Auslogics tries to provide explanations in the program, but since space is limited, it will still take you time to get the hang of this program.
Summary
A perfect tool for professionals or amateurs who like tinkering with their PCs.
Buying the Pro version. It's just that good.
cantantecnetMay 16, 2013
Pros
Fast, thorough, easy to use, better than Windows' - and that's just the free version in using it for a month.
Cons
I haven't found any cons yet.
Summary
Super fast and thorough , a must-have for Windows7 !
LostLoserMay 13, 2013
Pros
Many options for Solid-state drives and conventional disk drives , in-depth analysis report information .
Cons
None found so far .
Summary
Was frustrated with Windows7 Disk Defragmenter operation , slow and repeating operations several times to reach completion . Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro is simple and very fast to use .
Seems fine.
westendalFebruary 17, 2013
Pros
Works OK as straight-forward defragmenter, and provides lots of statistics, some of which are actually understandable.
Cons
Can't quite figure out everything else it claims it can do.
Summary
Worth the price if you want a change of pace, and look, from Microsoft and Norton.
Fast & Simple.
BearPuppyOctober 21, 2012
Pros
Its easy to use, but its best feature is its speed. Defragging takes only a few minutes on a 1/2 Terabyte Drive.
Cons
The interface is a bit cluttered and needs to be cleaned up by Auslogics.
Summary
The best I've used yet. Makes defragging worthwhile.
Great defragger with tons of options
tjazzzzzJuly 12, 2012
Pros
Lots of optimization options, scheduling options, cluster map appearance options, reports and graphs. Works just as fast as the free defragger from Auslogics. Has boot-time defrag. A solid and stable piece of software.
Cons
Some of the square colors on the default cluster map are hard to tell apart.
