Can anyone tell me if Drive Genius is compatible with the El Capitan operating system ?

According to this page it requires/is compatible with 10.10 and higher so it should be fine with El Capitan.

It's easy to miss that on the site.

You're welcome. For some reason it took me a few minutes of poking around the site to realize it was on that page.

I see that they have made numerous changes since the last version I used (3 I think).

@dsoper

You don't mention your system specs, but just a word of caution - should you have any form of Solid State Drive, you should not attempt Defragmentation, which I see is a major feature of Drive Genius.

+1.

Good point Ian. I wonder if any such apps have included such warnings about SSDs and defragging etc.???

I think they've just updated their page Slydude and they must have read your previous post. It's a bit more obvious now:
