WizTree vs WinDirStat opinions
It's very fast in compare of WinDirStat! And it visualised in the same way.
Same but takes 10 seconds not 10 minutes
jaw3lI didn't realize how fast it is before I used this app. It is super fast. Initial search on 128GB SSD took only 5 seconds. It is not even comparable with WinDirStat because it took almost 3 and half minutes in WinDirStat. That it mind boggling. UI is almost same as WinDirStat so you won't be sacrificing visuals, too.
misterrobatoVery fast, faster than any other similar type of program.
reelandryThis is insanely fast, stable, and I just freed up years of space and clutter that would have taken ages to map out. Amazing software!
Slashee_the_CowLike WinDirStat, but ridonkulously quicker. The biggest difference I can find is that it doesn't always keep subfolders from a main subfolder together, but that's nowhere near a deal breaker
SysAdminReview1- Faster than windirstat. 2-More Stable and actively maintained. 3- Doesn't freeze if I misclicked while analyzing (God this was awful).

Does whatever WinDirStat does, but much more neat UI
It is very fast and has a genuine way of presenting where your harddisk space is being used.
Showing directory size is not enough for me. I need to see files sizes in that big directory. And WinDirStat do it on the first page.
not enough features; poor ui
Very Good, speed just perfect
brinerustleBaobab does not use treemaps.

shankyspideyThe UI is great. There is a portable version and it's very quick!
RemovedUserThere is two version and can be downloaded separately. The free version has enough features to become an alternative to WinDirStat. But is really user friendly.

A disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface, aimed to be run on a remote server where you don't have an entire graphical setup, but have to do with a simple SSH connection.
ncdu vs WinDirStat opinions
headphoneampit is supported by Linux Terminal
Many servers are command-line only over ssh, so graphical tools are useless for those. This is a good tool to be able to see what is going on quickly and using only a ssh shell session.

QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.
QDirStat vs WinDirStat opinions
Well, it's the same but in Linux. Good layout etc. The ony thing I miss is analyzing the entire drive. You can't just analyze /, but /home/ or /whatever/
looks very similar to windirstat and seems to work the same. I like it.
it is very similar to windirstat, it has similar features and is very fast
Visually looks exactly like windirstat.

DiskUsage vs WinDirStat opinions
Because it has functions simular to WinDirStat and it's for Android!
With DaisyDisk you can free up disk space by quickly finding and deleting big, useless files. The program scans any mounted disk and displays it on the sunburst map, where segments mean files and folders, proportionally to their sizes. The map is easy to read and navigate.
