Cons:
Novice People seem to don't get the clear picture about what the software actually do. There is some confusion with active protection and other security software. The "Disk Manager" need some lifting
Review:

As a system engineer and freelance computer & server handyman i used "Ace Utilities" these last two years and really recommend it.

The "Clean Up" section is appreciated by the support team and is really easy to use by anyone. The wizard is recommended for the novices.

"The optimize" section is much more intuitives that the microsoft tools. The uninstall furnish much more information than the "add/remove Programs" of your system.
"The Duplicate Files" is really fast and a gem when you need space on your disk.

"The protect" section is really useful for people involved in bookkeeping and financial activities.

The "Miscellaneous" section is really useful to manage you disk space.
The only con is the "Disk Manager" who sometimes crash with big disk(more than 40GB)

The Expert Mode is quite complete and furnish real control for the technical guys and software developer. Novice better don't touch the expert mode.

Conclusion:

That's the first tool i install on computer that i maintain. A very handy tool. The pricing is not targeting the big company as there is only one license selling at a time. A pack of 10 licences will defenetively interrest small business owner.
