Is RAM usage a deciding factor in choosing TreeSize or SpaceObServer?
Answer / Solution
TreeSize operates primarily in memory (in-memory scan) and is ideal for ad hoc analyses and one-time scans.
For environments where recurring analyses, historical comparisons, or automated reports are required, SpaceObServer offers an alternative.
The scan results are stored in an SQL database, which significantly reduces RAM requirements on the client and makes long-term trends visible.
While TreeSize can handle a lot of folders if the RAM usage is to high, the upgrade to SpaceObserver is a viable option.
