Considered Both Products	UltraEdit MP Marc Paige AVP Digital and Data Solutions Chose UltraEdit UltraEdit is more stable and has a cleaner update process. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose UltraEdit When compared to most file editing programs UltraEdit usually comes out on top for being extremely flexible and feature-rich. We depend on it every day and although we have several other editors available to us we seem to always go back to this time and time again. Very … Incentivized Helpful? MW Mary Westheimer Business Manager Chose UltraEdit I used to use Microsoft's Notepad, but it is primitive compared to UltraEdit! A programmer introduced me to UltraEdit a long time ago, and I've used it ever since. It may be overkill for our use, but I've never found another program that has the power I want at my fingertips! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose UltraEdit I have evaluated Notepad++ as an alternative to UltraEdit. In some cases, such as loading time, Notepad++ is a superior product. However, in terms of editing existing macros, and editing very large text files UltraEdit is a much better product. Incentivized Helpful? Marc Shaffer CEO Chose UltraEdit More functional and easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose UltraEdit Blows basic notepad out of the water. Have tested Edit++ and a few other text editors, and did not find the same breadth of support or ease of use and with UltraEdit. There is a world of choices out there, but for the price, this one is all you need. Incentivized Helpful? Mathieu Gaouette Consultant BI senior/Administrateur - spécialité SAS Chose UltraEdit Notepad++ does have a lot of the base features of Ultraedit. However, Ultraedit brings a lot more to the table and the corporate licence makes it interesting for large companies. I would still advise small companies to look at it as they can get units for a reasonable price. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	IDM Computer Solutions UltraEdit is well suited for editing very large files. The macro editor is very powerful and easy to use. If one needs a quick-to-open text file editor, you will find UltraEdit much too slow to load. Compared to some free editors on the market, the basic individual user license is quite expensive.

Pros	IDM Computer Solutions Search and replace in files that are not open Cut and paste columns - I don't know any other program that can do this! Is a super fast and powerful text editor. Incentivized MW Mary Westheimer Business Manager Read full review
Cons	IDM Computer Solutions The color coding capacity is rudimentary and keyword based only. A good color coding mechanism should allow context. With the latest versions, the top menu has a lot of big icons and has a user-friendly kind of look which impacts the actual text window. Most users don't fancy pretty icons and like efficiency over pretty buttons. Incentivized Mathieu Gaouette Consultant BI senior/Administrateur - spécialité SAS Read full review
Usability	IDM Computer Solutions As a program UltraEdit comes ready to use out of the box and requires very little setup for it to be extremely useful. It's flexibility among a wide array of tasks and files makes it a go-to for all our troubleshooting and data viewing needs. Timely updates and great support.
