Useless application. Provides incorrect (partially) information about your PC.

Needlessly complex for benchmarking. Annoying interface for same. All that installation crap should not be necessary either. Plus, it's extremely slow when you do execute the benchmarking sequence.

This feels like a very disjointed effort. It's an uneven patchwork.

Not a fan.

I only remember Sandra from a few years back. As I recall, it was quite a powerful set of utilities and my boss (yes, he had a paid license) used it to burn in every PC he built (installed then uninstalled of course). Yes, $35 plus is a lot of money for burnin software, but if it's as good as it was back then, it worth it if you make a living at evaluating and building PCs. No longer in the PC repair business (do some contract work now but it's more grunt PC related then repair) so things may have changed since 2010, but I'm pretty sure Sandra is still a good set of utilities but may be, as others have already mentioned, a little heavy for most folks use, but if you want a thorough test, it'll meet your requirements for sure. :)

A bit big for what it does & not cheap, try HW Info instead.

Been using HwInfo in place of this, Sandra is still a decent software, but has become somewhat overweight recently.

At 56 meg it's 95% crap. You can do far better than this has been. A few years ago it was OK, today no chance.

And I'm getting fed up of the 'Shareware' tag, 99% of these are crippled commercial demos, true shareware is as rare as rocking-horse s*** today.

It seems it has a bit low reputation, but i like this tool. It gives much more information about your system than Lavalys / Aida64.

I am not too sure of the point of having this any longer. If you are savvy enough to download and install it in the first place then you quickly realise that it is quite bloated and of little value considering others which do more relevant things for free.
At one time SiS was a useful piece of software but now it seems to have lots of bells and whistles with little substance.

I've used Sisoft for many many years -- last update .. well hello? (and good bye) these people are either on drugs or writing software for people with IQ's about 100 points over mine. Goodbye ole paint your p**** is dead. See what Belarc is doing these days.
