Ace Utilities

Publisher: AceLogix
Version: 5.2 

Pros: Well-designed and well-supported software includes registry cleaner and other PC utilities.
Cons: Lacks some maintenance, diagnostic and optimization features.
The Verdict: Excellent in many ways but lacks some options that other programs have.
Ease of Use:
Ace Utilities navigation is extremely simple. It is very well-organized for the novice user and offers plenty of customization options for the advanced user. The All-In-One wizard makes it easy to run all the scans that Ace Utilities provides.
Feature Set:
Ace Utilities compounds its excellent registry cleaner with an outstanding utilities package. The package applications include Clean Disk, Duplicate File Finder, Startup Organizer, Internet History Clean, Broken Shortcut Cleaner, Securely Delete Files Forever, Uninstall Plus, Maintenance Wizard, Empty Folder Finder, Disk Analysis, and Auto-Update.
The Auto-Start manager grants instant access to programs which start automatically when you logon to your computer. This shows what is running on your machine and allows you to delete or disable items you want removed from your startup. Cleaning your windows add/remove list is exceptionally easy with this program. With most programs, when you manually delete something from windows, the uninstall options are removed as well, leaving references to these programs in your add/remove list. However, Ace Utilities has the ability to uninstall programs found in the Windows add/remove list. Ace Utilities offers five types of scans to locate and remedy your specific areas of concern and an all-in-one wizard to scan the entire program.

The Ace Utilities program needs to improve its backup system by simplifying the process allowing you to undo changes.
Ease of Installation:
The installation of Ace Utilities was a snap. We encountered no complications.
Help & Support:
The help and documentation segment for this program was useful. The package comes with a manual that is easily accessed by pressing the F1 key. There are available FAQs and email support as well as an update button that delivers the latest version of Ace Utilities.
Safety:
Ace Utilities does an adequate job identifying potential problems. It includes a built-in ignore list designed to protect important registry entries. You may add your own items to this list. After performing a registry scan, Ace Utilities lists the location, specific data, and reason for each error encountered. The five specific scans allow you to focus on specific suspected problem areas. This program lacks the ability to rate the severity of each error. Therefore, it is difficult to make an informed choice of which errors to fix and which should be deleted.
Summary:
Ace Utilities by AceLogix Software is a low-priced, well-designed and well-supported utilities program that lacks some maintenance, diagnostic and optimization features.
