A Windows-compatible hard disk space manager that scans directory trees and saves structure and size information in a SQL database. This software generates tabular views, bar, pie, line charts, and tree maps to display space usage and growth, and includes an integrated file search feature.
One of the most impressive features of SpaceObServer is its ability to conduct network scans without the need to install additional software on servers. The intuitive Explorer-like user interface makes it easy to view detailed information about directories or drives, such as size, allocated space, number of files, last access and change date, and file owner. I also liked how I could use extensive search criteria to discover files with special characteristics, such as size or file extension, and run a duplicate file search with optional MD5 checksum identification.
What really sets SpaceObServer apart is its variety of visualization options, including 3D bar, pie, line charts, and tree maps, as well as tabular enumerations if desired, which are all designed to help you better understand the stored data. You can even trace the development of the size of directories you choose and get an approximate size development for the future.
In addition to its many features, SpaceObServer offers flexible exporting options, including storing diagrams using common image formats, exporting tables to XML, Excel, PDF, HTML, or Text files, and printing detailed reports for the selected directory tree. OLE Automation is also available to generate exports from within your own scripts or programs.
Another bonus is the SpaceObServer Client application, which is a management tool that allows you to configure scans, view scan results and generate exports remotely from additional machines in your network. For those who want even greater accessibility, the SpaceObServer Web Access client (sold separately) enables users to access scan reports via web browser.
Overall, SpaceObServer is a top-of-the-line hard disk space manager that provides powerful features in a user-friendly package. Its ability to conduct network scans and work with the Unicode international character set standard make it a valuable tool for businesses and individuals alike.
