The comprehensive package of system utilities in Ontrack Data International Inc.'s System Suite 2000 offers almost everything users need to keep PCs running, regardless of which Windows operating system they have. System Suite 2000 can provide good PC housekeeping for home users and small businesses and is the only utility in the market to serve all Windows operating systems. Enterprise deployment is another matter, though. The suite lacks centralized deployment and administration capabilities, and large corporations are better off managing PCs centrally. The strength of System Suite 2000 lies in its user friendliness and presentation.
Users can launch the wizard quickly using the default setup or by choosing which utility to run.
System Suite 2000's presentation is pleasingly straightforward. Utilities are centralized in a main GUI and segregated with submenu buttons into system registries, system protection, disk cleanup and other categories. During installation, System Suite 2000 packed an impressive array of utilities in a mere 35MB of disk space in Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000 machines. After installation, the suite's EasyUpdate utility automatically connected a test machine to the Mijenix Corp. Web site to download the latest updates and virus lists. Packed into System Suite 2000 are primary utilities originally developed by Mijenix, which was recently acquired by Ontrack.
