Problem Statement : As we are a startup, we have lots of trainee which may not always be familiar with mainstream VCS's out there. so we simply have them submit their work in zip and one person manually combines the code. if one does it by checking every files and changes manually, it'll take a lot of work

Solution : we saved great effort by including Code Compare. not just incorporating multiple projects but that too with great aid of great visual cues. it greatly increased out productivity.
  • Visual cue with green and red highlights
  • Comprehensive comparison result analysis
  • Pane UI to simply drag drop between panes
  • Dark mode would have been a welcome change.
  • UI could be updated to latest standard rather than old windows square looking UI.
  • Despite being simple to use, a user guide would be appreciated.
If your developer team is well-versed with standard VCS then I don't think they need this additional software to occupy their memory, they already have those capabilities within all VCS. A well-suited use case can be a team where not everybody has knowledge of VCS but has to collaborate on a project.
  • Pane view
  • Simple UI
  • Easy adoption
  • Time saving is primary factory that code Compare brings forth to the table.
  • All those saved time was utilized in solving actual business logic and making code more robust.
  • Generally with this benefits, productivity, across team seen a huge incline.

This tool has been using to compare and merge the files and folders. It helps to integrate to synch the code with the production system. It also helps to the developer to merge and compare their changes in TFS.
  • Easy to compare files and folders as it provides many features to set different colors while matching.
  • Easy to sync local clones with the production system.
  • It allows to user to compare the file within multiple windows.
  • It takes some time while comparing files.
  • It supports multi tabs comparison but it shows the difference after some time.
  • It should show the notification to other users in case both are working on the same file.
There are various tools available for comparison, but I prefer to use this tool as it provides many features while comparing or merging file. The graphic user interface is very simple and attractive.
  • It helps to save a lot of effort hours as we can synch code with few simple steps.
  • Easily to check customers issues with the help of local and production changes.
  • Helps to deploy the service packs on a production system.
