Overall Satisfaction with Beyond Compare

I've been a user of Beyond Compare (BC) for over 20 years. I use it nearly every day to compare files, folders, network drives. I search for a file and BC will ignore (when needed) folder structure making easy to locate misplaced files or documents. BC is a side to side viewer/comparer of names for anything on a drive. It is very visible, showing the same, orphans (left or right side), newer, missing, etc., all useful conditions. Information, location, duplicates, newest are among the many choices. Sessions are remembered. BC does such an excellent job, I've never had a need to reach for another "Beyond Compare" software. I know of nothing it does not do.

Pros

  • Compare: files, folders, drives, update or make changes
  • Solid operation

Cons

  • I have dual 32" 4k monitors. Add enlarge/use ctrl-scroll wheel to enlarge font view
  • Beyond Compare has been and is a great tool I would have difficulty being without without.
Windows Explorer - Beyond Compare equals WE and passes it by a thousand times.
I give Beyond Compare the high value for it works, stable, does everything, excellent support, ease of use and very versatile.
