Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As Apple continues to put a premium on storage space on its MacBooks, individuals and companies alike are pressured to purchase smaller storage options than they otherwise would have. As a result, several great Mac utilities, such as Gemini and DaisyDisk have cropped up to help users manage the smaller storage on their machines. Gemini helps users solve this problem by identifying duplicate files for users so that they can better organize their file system, while simultaneously eliminating storage-wasting duplicates.
Pros and Cons
  • File De-Duplication - Gemini does a great job of finding files that are bit-for-bit identical to each other. Typically these are caused by user replication, and Gemini sniffs them out and displays them for easy user decisions.
  • Similar Photo identification - Got a lot of similar photos, but not the exact same one? That's ok, this is a huge source of wasted space, and Gemini can deal with these too. If you're a "spray and pray" type of photographer, Gemini will help you clean up near-duplicate photos, helping you keep only the best.
  • Fast File Triage - Once Gemini has identified all these duplicates, what do you do with them? Gemini helps you triage the list of duplicates and easily decide which copies to keep. This is handy if you want to keep all files in the X folder, but not in the Y folder.
  • With the recent update to macOS Catalina, Gemini hasn't been updated yet. As a result, it requests access to each folder you want to scan for duplicates. Not ideal. It could take an approach like other apps, and ask for full-disk access through privacy settings instead.
  • Gemini could make a more robust rule system that enables you to select which file to delete based on regular expressions, for instance.
  • While Gemini helps me identify similar, though not identical photos, it's still up to me to decide which ones are the "best". Perhaps if Gemini did some machine learning on these photos, it could learn which are the best, and help you choose.
Likelihood to Recommend
As I described in the initial use case, Mac storage is a premium, so having a tool that helps your storage stay clean is incredibly useful. Almost always, duplicates are wasted space, so Gemini is a single purpose tool that helps you identify duplicates easily for quick clean up of your Mac's hard drive. Point of fact, it'll help clean up your cloud storage space too, if you select your cloud sync folders on your machine as well!
Return on Investment
  • Gemini keeps me productive by not having to spend time wading through my files to find what I've copied in multiple locations. It does the heavy lifting for me and lets me choose what to keep and what to trash.
  • Gemini has enabled us to purchase less expensive laptops by not needing to pay for as much storage. Once purchased, those laptops can be sustained for longer by using Gemini to keep storage space managed.
  • Gemini has also enabled us to keep our cloud storage footprint manageable, by identifying duplicates across local and cloud storage.
Alternatives Considered
It's really not fair to compare Gemini to iCloud, but of the products offered, I could not find one that was a direct comparison to Gemini. What I will say is that Gemini works well in conjunction with iCloud as, without Gemini, iCloud replication across Macs would exacerbate the duplicate file problem. Instead, Gemini works to clean up duplicates in iCloud as well, eliminating duplication of files across the cloud.
Support Rating
7
I've never had any problems with the support for the Gemini application itself, but it seems every time I re-install (on a single machine), I run into a licensing issue. As a result, I need to go to the app's website and request that my activation key gets reset or resent. In either case, it's a pain, but as I have to reinstall infrequently, it's a small price to pay for an otherwise solid application.
