bottom (btm) vs ManageEngine Free Process Manager

bottom is a free graphical system and process monitor that runs in a terminal on Linux, macOS and Windows. It charts CPU use for each core and as an average, along with RAM and swap over time. Network and disk I/O are graphed too, with a control for zooming the displayed time interval. Its process widget lets users display, sort and search process information, use tree mode and send kill signals. Other widgets show disk capacity and use, temperature sensors and battery use. Appearance and behavior can be changed through command-line options or a configuration file, including themes, layout, widget behavior and filtering. An htop-inspired basic mode offers a simpler view, and a selected widget can be expanded to fill the terminal. A read-only option blocks actions that affect the system, such as stopping processes. Installation is documented through package managers, Cargo and pre-built release binaries. Official platform support covers macOS, Linux and Windows; architecture support varies by system. Android and some other systems may work unofficially with limited testing and support.

ManageEngine Free Process Manager is a Windows utility for identifying processes that consume system resources and closing unwanted ones. Its local view lists running processes and memory usage, and a search lets you inspect memory used by a selected process. The tool can also display process-level memory usage on a remote machine and terminate processes locally or remotely. Remote connections require a server IP, domain, username, and password, plus WinRM and TrustedHosts configuration. The download page lists Free Process Manager 1.0 as a 5.7 MB Windows EXE with 32-bit main and mirror downloads. It requires Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 or later. Minimum hardware is a 1 GHz x86 or 1.4 GHz x64 processor, 512 MB RAM, and 3 MB available disk space; installed use is under 10 MB. The plan costs nothing, with a license granted in perpetuity.
