I checked out several user review sites like Trustpilot and SiteJabber to find more about CCleaner and how it has fared when used by real users.CCleaner’s utility suite consists of four main components (Image credit: Piriform CCleaner) FeaturesĬCleaner’s system utility suite consists of four main components:ĬCleaner is, above all, a registry cleaner. Reviews by real users are important as they indicate whether the software performs as its developer promises or there are limitations that other users need to be aware of before buying or upgrading to the paid version.ĬCleaner earned an admirable rating of 4.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot from more than 6000 user reviews. Numerous users complimented the company on developing a simple yet efficient program that gets the job done quickly and easily. Users praised the optimization features that come with the CCleaner Professional Plus and claimed that the product did improve the performance of their Windows PCs. However, there were a few complaints from some users regarding the updates. While some claimed that the software automatically upgraded to the Pro version despite the users choosing not to upgrade, others pointed out that the software often refuses to update and loads the free version instead. On SiteJabber, there were only 17 reviews of CCleaner and it earned a user rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

Google Trends is a keyword analysis site that compares the interest in various search terms in the form of graphs. To understand how CCleaner fared with its nearest competitors in terms of interest in keywords, I used Google Trends to check the interest of search terms such as “CCleaner” and “CCleaner review” over the past 12 months in the US. Interest in the search term “CCleaner” was considerably high throughout the last 12 months and it rarely dropped below the average mark. The graph shows a minor slump in interest recently but it recovered quickly and is on its way upwards again. The consistently high interest through the past 12 months can be attributed to the numerous version updates and bug fixes that the company released during this period. ![]() Unlike “CCleaner”, the interest over time in “CCleaner review” lacks consistency and the graph managed to touch both its peak and nadir in the past 12 months. Interest was at its highest during this time last year but gradually fell below the average mark. Regular peaks and troughs define the interest in the search term making it harder to form a composite idea about it that will be consistent with the graph. I compared “CCleaner” with competing search terms like “ Advanced SystemCare” and “Wise Care 365”. Unsurprisingly, CCleaner is head and shoulders above its competitors when it comes to interest in search terms. The average interest in CCleaner over the past 12 months was much more than in either Advanced SystemCare or Wise Care 365. ![]() However, Advanced SystemCare fared much better than Wise Care 365, though it was no match for CCleaner. News about a software company and its products are relevant factors that help you to make an informed decision.

I am sharing some of the interesting news surrounding CCleaner and its developer that I came across on news sites. It is now common knowledge that CCleaner had faced some security and privacy issues back in 2017 that had momentarily tarnished its reputation as one of the most reliable PC optimization tools. ![]()
