Overall Satisfaction with Beyond Compare

In my company, I develop software and sometimes I use BC to compare the source code of similar modules belonging to different software applications. So I can quickly evaluate the missing procedures in some applications and add or update them more quickly. Another use of BC is to evaluate similar XML record paths and find out which differences need to be corrected. BC is great for these types of problems. BC is fantastic because it can also compare the image differences!
  • Compare folders
  • Compare XML Files
  • Compare VB.NET / C# Files
  • The GUI is old style
  • Better integration with Visual Studio
  • Compare files (and folder)
  • Merge source code of two files
  • Good impact
  • Quick to learn and use!
I used WinDiff and Compare IT in the past, but Beyond Compare is much more complete.

It's simple to use and focused on one job, but it does it effectively! In my opinion, it is suitable for system administrators who have to compare scripting files and folders, but also software developers.
