PerfView is a free utility developed for performance analysis and diagnostics on Windows systems. It is used by developers and system administrators looking to monitor and optimize the performance of applications. With a simple interface, the software allows for the collection of detailed data on CPU usage, memory, system events, and resource allocation in real-time.
Among its main features is the ability to generate in-depth event tracing reports (ETW, Event Tracing for Windows), helping to identify performance bottlenecks or issues in .NET and native applications. Additionally, it offers support for call stack analysis, runtime visualization, and memory profiling, making it a practical choice for those needing to understand program behavior in different scenarios.
PerfView is lightweight, does not require complex installation, and runs directly as an executable, making it perfect for use in testing or production environments. Although its interface is not the most modern, the tool compensates with robust functionalities and detailed documentation available on the official Microsoft website. It is a very useful tool for professionals who are already familiar with software performance concepts and seek a reliable and free solution.
