And to add to the frustration felt by all IT administrators who would rather be home with their wives and kids, there is no indication of how long the process will take and when the ordeal will eventually end.
You would think that such a lengthy and painful process will bring astonishing results, but unfortunately, this is far from true.
in-built utility does not eliminate all fragments, nor tackles free space fragmentation. It does not defragment the MFT nor the paging files. All in all, the results are slightly better but stay superficial.
On the other side, companies who realise that the in-built utility is not a solution might favour an automatic alternative.
With a truly automatic defragmenter installed on the system - one that defrags in real time, as it occurs, IT administrators do not need to worry any longer about this aspect of computer maintenance.
Some automatic software on the market is coupled with a technology which does not allow the defragmentation process to impact on system resources. The user will not even notice that the software is running in the background.
