Performance of scheduled search vs on demand

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Some of my users are reporting that monthly scheduled searches have a larger performance impact on their machines than one-off searches they run on demand. This hasn't been the case for me personally, and I feel it may be a case of the user perceiving their machine to be slower because they're trying to use it for other things during the scheduled searches, but when they're running an on demand scan, they're more focused on Identity Finder than other tasks.

The monthly searches use the exact same policy as an on demand search would. In fact, many departments do not even have any specific policy settings other than the search schedule.

Is anyone else getting similar reports from their users?

Cheers,
Dan
