Beyond Compare - Free download and software reviews. Pros. 1. Allows me to maintain backups of my PC folders on external drives. Lots of viewing options (ie older files, newer files, same files, etc.). Color coded file status. Can save 'sessions' for different folder/drive combos.
Cons. Can't search through my many sessions. Summary. I backup my 4 TB of data to many external hard drives.
Most of my data is photos, books, music, videos. They are all arranged in folders and can be backed up on a drive and folder to folder basis. Beyond compare makes this whole process possible.
I use it monthly and would be lost without it. I use Ver 3 (am upgrading soon to ver 4) and it is bug free and works well. Highly recommended for synchronizing my backups. Reply to this review.

The major flaw for me is that the program does not allow word- wrapping. While a lot of users may be coders, I use it for text comparisons of bills and legislative enactments, and inability to word- wrap seems like a strange limitation. I would also like it if the reports would generate cleaner HTML code. Summary. Good solid program with a lot of plug- ins, but lacks the ability to word wrap text files.

I've been using Beyond Compare for years, and have installed it many times. NEVER has it installed Adware, I believe it was a coincidence. Pros. Simply the best. I bought it originally for comparing and fixing source files as a developer.
Later, I discovered that it can do it across ftp for web sites. That was simply amazing! I have stopped using all other ftp programs and use this one to sync my web sites. Works like a charm!
Cons. Reaching explorer right click menu on the files list needs too many clicks. Could be better. Summary. If you are a developer or web developer, you will be thankful to have this utility around. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Please Wait.
