Glarysoft's Glary Utilities is one of the most consistently popular and most frequently recommended system utilities, and why not? It bundles some of the most useful Windows-related tools in one free download. It scans and cleans your PC, cleaning temporary files, removing junk files, fixing broken shortcuts, and resolving a wide range of issues, both major and minor, that most Windows users will have no trouble recognizing.

You can configure its One-Click Maintenance option to run just those processes you want with a single click, making regular maintenance just too easy for excuses. You can run any of its many tools individually, too.

Glary Utilities has a basic but colorful (and skinnable) dialog-sized interface with tabs for Status, 1-Click Maintenance, and Modules. Under Modules, Glary groups a wide variety of tools under a series of headings, some of which access the same tools from different categories: Clean & Repair, Optimize & Improve, Privacy & Security; Files & Folders; and System Tools.

We clicked Scan on the 1-Click Maintenance tab, which initiated a system-wide scan for junk files, spyware, and lots of other stuff that we needed to fix or throw out: Sort of like cleaning the basement, actually. Glary Utilities displayed its summary findings, and we could click to view details or just press Repair Problems to fix the lot, which we did. The tool swiftly purged our system of the obsolete, unneeded, and junk data that can clog your machine over time, compromising performance and even security.

The 1-Click Maintenance is reason enough to keep Glary Utilities and run it regularly, but more excellent reasons can be found in its Modules, which let you run Glary's utilities individually as well as access many more tools, including a file shredder, startup manager, memory optimizer, registry defragmenter, and file recover and undelete tool. It also lets you run a variety of Windows utilities from Glary's interface, including the Process Manager and System Information. Running tools like the Duplicate File Finder now and again and the 1-Click Maintenance regularly will help keep your PC running fast, smooth, and safe.

Additionally, Glary Utilities has received regular updates that keep it compatible with the latest versions of Windows, making it a reliable tool for users who regularly update their systems. The software is also lightweight, meaning it doesn’t consume significant system resources during use, making it ideal for users with less powerful computers or those who want to minimize performance degradation while running optimization tools. Furthermore, its batch processing capability for tasks like cleaning and repair ensures that users can run multiple maintenance processes at once, saving valuable time without sacrificing effectiveness.

A notable advantage of Glary Utilities is its ability to improve system privacy and security. The Privacy & Security section includes tools that help you erase browsing history, clear cache files, and wipe sensitive data securely. This makes it particularly useful for users who are concerned about privacy or regularly share their computers with others. It also complements other security software, enhancing your overall protection without overlapping features. In comparison to some other system optimization tools, Glary Utilities does not only focus on performance but also offers a holistic approach to keeping your PC in top condition.

Bottom Line

For users seeking alternatives, CCleaner provides similar system cleaning functionality, allowing users to remove junk files and optimize their systems. However, while CCleaner is well-known for its simplicity and effectiveness, it offers fewer tools compared to Glary Utilities, especially when it comes to advanced features like memory optimization, file recovery, and startup management.

Glary Utilities stands out in this respect, offering a broader toolkit for maintaining not just system performance but also security and privacy.

Poor non-existent support
busdocFebruary 15, 2015
Pros
When working, the app works well and is easy to use.
Cons
There is absolutely no product support.
Summary
I've been using the free version for a couple of years and thought I'd owed it to them to buy "Pro". The first year, the app worked flawlessly, but over a month ago, after a Windows Update, the Registry Repair function keeps "freezing up" on the same file on two separate computers. I've been emailing the company and been only getting a canned response. I would not recommend purchasing this product. If you can get the "free" version to work, well and good, but don't spend your money.
One Utility to rule them all.
gaknakOctober 4, 2014
Pros
Fast, Very easy to customize, Reliable, and Complete.
Cons
There really aren't any. There are frequent updates, about once per month, and that can be inconvenient but it indicates that product is under active development.
Summary
Glary Utilities Pro is one of the few pieces of software that I gladly paid for. I have used it for over 3 years and it has never let me down.
Almost Perfect
BearPuppyJune 25, 2014
Pros
The amount of available tools is truly staggering for the price. Best tool is the Software Update tool which will alert you when software you have on your machine gets an update (even Betas if you want) - no need for an external site or service. I also like the degree of control you can elect, from full manual control of every tool and item in the package, to complete 1-click operation, to any mixture you choose.
Cons
As mentioned in the CNET review there is a complete lack of labels, making tool selection a tedious try and learn-to-remember process, especially the advanced tools along the bottom row.
Summary
Despite the label shortcoming, it truly is a one-tool-does-all utility. In fact it is the one utility I have on my system. Is it really that good? Yes it is; I'm an end-user, and I have a lifetime license.
Glary Utilities Pro is a Ripoff
ButterySmoothMarch 6, 2014
Pros
Glary Utilities Basic is great. Pro is not.
Cons
Non-existent technical support. My technical support person knew as much about computers as a dinosaur.
Summary
Stick to Glary Utilities Basic. No sense in wasting money on Glary Utilities Pro.
Great Product
AndroidPlayerMarch 5, 2014

avner182December 5, 2013
Pros
Quite thoroughly utility. Lots of options.
Cons
Interface a bit cluttered. Some features set on by default I wouldn't normally do.
Summary
Works Quite Good.
It does an ok job, but doesn't live up to expectations
Prof321November 17, 2013
Pros
Glary Utilities Pro does many basic tasks well, such as registry repair, disk cleanup etc.
Cons
But its duplicate file finder and remover does not work properly. Oh it finds all the duplicates and the check intelligent feature will mark the superfluous ones, but it will not delete checked files.
Summary
Wise PC 1st Aid excellent program
cxrichardNovember 7, 2013
Pros
this GUP is nice good working
Cons
no like W1A. i like it better
Summary
although this GUP is nice but i also like to use W1A , Wice PC 1stAId is an intelligent sofware which has assembbled most common PC problems and helps me fix them automatically through an intelligent process. i like this one better
Excellent program
November 7, 2013
Pros
A one tool easy to use cleaner. You can set up the main Interface to do most major cleaning jobs. From registry cleaning to spyware removing. The advanced tools are broken up into sections with easy to use instructions. I think it's a much better all-around utility than its competitors. Ausus Logic system boost, advanced system cleaner. These two system utilities can be dangerous If you are not an advanced system user. It's too easy to remove necessary programs. With this program anyone can use it and not worry about removing unnecessary programs. I have been using the free program but it is worth purchasing the Pro version.
Cons
The only con is you have to be careful with the duplicate file cleaner you may remove something that you actually need. So unless you are an advanced computer person I would not use this particular tool.
Summary
this program either free or the Pro version is well worth having on your machine. I have this particular program and CC cleaner and my has never run better.
