Pros and cons of DriverIdentifier

Advantages:

2. Provides useful details about driver updates
3. Works even without an Internet connection
4. Available as a program that runs without installation
5. DriverIdentifier does not try to install unrelated programs during setup

Defect:

1. Do not automatically check for outdated drivers
2. The download page must be accessed to receive driver updates
3. Downloading updates may be confusing
4. A free account must be registered with DriverIdentifier before you can download the driver

Some other notes about DriverIdentifier

DriverIdentifier is probably one of the easiest driver updates for users. There are quite a few similar software to use, but it is certainly not as easy as with DriverIdentifier.

The program is very light and doesn't require much installation. You just need to open it and click on a single button to start.

Besides the lack of relatively common features such as scheduled scanning and user account requests to download drivers, DriverIdentifier also forces you to take more steps to start downloading than when you use the software. Similar or more advanced like Driver Booster.

To download drivers with DriverIdentifier, you will be taken to a website with a list of download links. If you're not 100% sure what you're looking for, you may download the wrong driver and may cause problems with the computer.

However, one feature you will find with DriverIdentifier is not included in most other driver update tools is an offline scanner. Just check ' I do not have internet connection ' to force the program to save the results to a file that can be opened on an Internet-connected computer.

This is a very useful feature when you are in a situation where the computer needs drivers to install without an Internet connection.
