DebugDiag vs AdPlus

Question

I have never used DebugDiag but just wondering if it offer any advantages over taking a process dump over Adplus? Or if it has any limitations that I should consider in taking snapshot.

UPDATE: Doing some reading about it, seem like DebugDiag need to be installed on machine where you want go generate a dump. Certainly not a easy thing to do on client data-centres. Whereas Adplus can be Xcopied.

I do not see any advantages or limitations using one over the other for taking dumps. — mslot, Dec 10 '11 at 20:36

Not sure it answers the original question, but in regards to the update, if you want something that is easy to install on client systems to take a dump you should us procdump from sysinternals

DebugDiag tool affects your application performance. If your application is not concerned of performance affect, it is a very good tool. You can also customize it with VB programming.

If anyone need help on programming it to customize, email me... I am happy to assist.

The dumps from DebugDiag is OK from my experience, contains heap and handles as far as I remember. I use DebugDiag when hunting for memory leak, because it has some good statistics on memory consumption.
