Senseless comments and ridiculous rating so far!

System Information + Hardware Inventory + Benchmark and Computer Management in one single solution.

The only CONS for me is that even the PRO version does not provide you with the Network Traffic Analyzer (you need the more expensive ENTERPRISE edition for that).

Anyway THUMBS UP!

BEST FREE ALTERNATIVES

SPECCY and HWinfo are also very good FREE APPS to show details about your system, but, unlike this GAOTD, they cannot perform any Benchmarking operation!!!

To do this, I recommend this FREE & PORTABLE tool from the same developer behind award-winning "Q-Dir":

And as a Network Audit tools, just give these FREE apps a try:

Enjoy!! ^_^


P.S. GAOTD folks? How about remove the faulty and misleading GAOTD RATING option once and for all?

Installed and registered (double checked email) without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system.

A Romanian company with address&fax : The company has been founded in 1998, as an Independent Software Vendor. We don't see very often companies from Romania here.

If the company is named "Ultimate", I expect something "ultimate"...

A well organized window opens, you can select the views from system info over peripherals to network settings. But you cannot use the network monitors. This is reserved to the "Enterprise" edition. You have to pay.

You can do your benchmarks, work with the registry (invokes the Windows routine) and sorry, you can't do a lot of other useful things.

This program misses to read the sensors. You can't see SMART values from your disks. It says simply "SMART ok"...

You can't see board or disk tempertures, you can't see what your CPU is doing, you won't see traffic, memory usage or running processes.

The build in task manager of Windows 8 plays in another level. But this software claims does not claim to monitor, it displays hardware info. To my understanding this does not end with with motherboard & vendor name but includes, what the motherboard does in this moment. Question of definition of course.

The inability to display network traffic or even collect the SMART values does not justify the "Ultimate" label. In competition with the many freeware it has the advantage of a nice looking interface - and ends with that.

Uninstalled via reboot - I was hoping to have a real HW Info, including disk data, traffic data and other sensor data in one place.

You can try following two alternatives-

1 ) Speccy by Piriform Ltd

2) HWiNFO

Both are available as PORTABLE ( installation not needed )

The only differences between this professional version and the free edition are ...
+ export of results
+ Notebook Battery Monitor
+ technical support

A real hassle registering this software. They seem paranoid about losing a key or something because you got to go to their website first and then enter your email after that you are emailed a link to go back to their website, which has a webpage with the serial number and there is a note saying that your ip address is being saved for security. WAY TOO MUCH FOR A PROGRAM LIKE THIS.
On the 3rd of March SIW professional was given away here. After comparing HARDiNFO with siw, I uninstalled Hardinfo immediately because it doesn't have any of the useful features that SIW has, like password retrieval and you need the ENTERPRISE edition of Hardinfo for nework activity function which makes this version look like a demo. Yes the UI is impressive, but that's all!
