Chose Beyond Compare
I used WinDiff and Compare IT in the past, but Beyond Compare is much more complete.
I utilize Microsoft Excel to create a custom data comparison tool that can handle date formatting and check derived fields. We also have an in house tool, called GIT, that really mirrors the beyond compare technology- I have personally stuck with Beyond Compare instead of GIT.
Notepad++ is the only other product I have seen that has something similar to what Beyond Compare specializes. While Notepad++ can perform the same type of function, it is not nearly as robust or as easy to navigate as beyond compare. It is well worth the investment for the …
We've tried many: Code Compare, Meld, UltraCompare, and WinMerge. None of them have the depth of features and speed to handle the work we throw at Beyond Compare. The multi-tabbed interface allows us to sync multiple servers at the same time. It understands multiple file types, …
When Beyond Compare 4 came out, we briefly considered looking at other tools, like Code Compare, but in all reality, we never really considered it a viable option. Beyond Compare offers such a comprehensive solution, especially with its Pro License (and 3-way merging …

Notepad++ is a step up from Microsoft's built-in notepad, but it doesn't even come close to comparing with BeyondCompare (pun intended). Notepad++ is better suited to working with a single text file and inserting line numbers for you. BeyondCompare goes far beyond that to help …
We had used many tools before buying Beyond Compare. The reason is that it has proven to be the best tool available for files and folder comparison and merging changes; it is quick and easy to use, supports almost all formats and it had a fast adoption by the software team.
BeyondCompare sits atop its category (file/folder comparison and merge), no doubt. Other tools offer similar feature sets but with steeper learning curves or at premium prices.
There are only 2 programs worth mentioning as competitors here: Meld, which is open source and has …
There are a lot of options when it comes to file comparison tools with some being free, however, you will be hard-pressed to find another tool that does as much as BeyondComare does for a nominal cost (~$30-$60). For a thorough comparison see …
These are free and opensource applications. They do not have most of the features that BeyondCompare has. Even though they are free to use, the reasonable cost of BeyondCompare makes using it over these competitors a no brainer.
