UltraEdit is an indispensable text editor
As a business and marketing manager in our small company, I am the only user of UltraEdit. It is my go-to for text editing. When I want to edit chunks of text, strip them of other coding, or - my heart be still - separate columns, UltraEdit is invaluable. I also use it to access my passwords, so I use UltraEdit daily.
- 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.
- I'd like more free updates.
- It'd be great to be able to make the text larger more easily.
- I like UltraEdit so much I'm having trouble coming up with a third area for improvement!

One stop shop for all your file viewing and editing needs
My department (along with a majority of our IT related groups) use UltraEdit on a daily basis to troubleshoot a majority of the files we process and deal with. It's extremely useful from opening and viewing the simplest .txt file or review lines of complex code or log file records. It has a create customizable UI and tons of useful tools for reviewing data.
- Great user interface and easy to navigate
- No training needed to get started with the program out of the box
- Extremely thorough data validation tools
- For first time users the interface can be a little overwhelming

USDV on UltraEdit
UE is an integral part of our www development and has been for years. It is used by all departments as needed. It is a clean and easy to use web design tool. Nothing else we have tried is as clean and easy to use as UE. Training is minimal so people pick up its use quickly.
- Web editing.
- Web design.
- Web construction.
- It would be great if a total page view, including images and spacing would be helpful.
- More automated for repetitive functions.

UltraEdit is one of my top go-to editors
To my knowledge I am the only user of UltraEdit in my department. I have a continuing need to open and edit very large text files. UltraEdit easily manages these large files without any issues. In particular, I typically edit these files performing a search-and-replace on individual characters, CR/LF characters and tab characters.
- It is amazing at editing by columns
- It allows me to quickly and easily search by ASCII character value
- The built-in file comparison feature is very accurate and easy to use
- UltraEdit is relatively slow to load
- It is not possible to open multiple individual sessions of UltraEdit
- The standard toolbar is a bit too "verbose" showing options using large, colorful icons. I prefer a minimalist, simplified toolbar

UltraEdit helps you save time on redundant tasks
Ultra edit is being used mostly by developers here. It has color coding for a lot of programming languages. This makes it very versatile. It is really a developer tool and can't be judged by the business problems it solves. It makes writing code and formatting in text files easier. It's a big time saver.
- The column mode is one of the best features. I use it all the time. It allows me to work on a specific row position across multiple lines (ex: insert text, number sequence). This is a big time saver.
- Macro recording is very convenient for redundant tasks inside a text file. You can just hit record, do the steps manually once and then stop and playback.
- You have base file compare functionality available with the software (you must buy their compare product if you want the full thing).
- Sorting available with the option of removing duplicates.
- 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.

Great all-in-one text editor
Multiple users within our organization use UltraEdit. It is a great multi-purpose text editor. Use it for simple tasks, like editing large text files, or use the code formatting to edit every language you can think of. Excellent for editing XML files or HTML. It also works wonders with parentheses—marries up matching ones with color-coding. Extremely well priced for all it does.
- Any kind of text editing and manipulation. Wide breadth of support for many types of files and code.
- Matching parentheses () by color coding is a huge benefit.
- Column mode makes it easy to transform a flat-file into something easily editable by column.
- Handles massively sized files easily and quickly.
- Really hard to come up with any areas of improvement.
- Maybe the menu could be a little easier to navigate.
