Keep MiniTool Partition Wizard, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing MiniTool Partition Wizard does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 152 of the 186 other desktop utilities grade higher. It costs $59 a year.
What you could not
- Deleting system files without breaking anything.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MiniTool Partition Wizard’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
