It can take a day to complete defragging. If you run the Windows built in defragger first, then it runs much much faster afterwards.

Pro
You can set multiple defrag schedules
You can set multiple defrag schedules and have Smart Defrag simply exit, shut the PC down, or continue monitoring.

Con
Attempts to install additional software alongside it, and installs IObit Uninstaller or other IObit software if the user selects 'default' or simply selects 'ok' without paying attention.
The package is becoming more bloated and encumbered with efforts to monetize it as it matures. The free version will continue to advertise purchasing the PRO version and other IOBit software until purchased which is understandable but annoying.

High price point
The price could very easily put one off. Unlike many other products, PerfectDisk has no free features beyond the thirty day trial. Furthermore, the only way to guarantee unlimited utility past three computers is to purchase a total home license which costs $49.99.
