Excellent for any professional needing quick comparison and re-use across multiple projects

The most important feature is that it has an excellent user interface with some very helpful features like "Compare two different ways" which lets me do comparisons of text documents or pdfs etc without having them open at once - this also helps reduce screen clutter when I'm working from home (or otherwise) where there could be more than one person logged into my computer simultaneously! It's easy enough even if someone else doesn't know how to use computers well/at all but would benefit…

Pros
  • The ease of use and the helpful features which make it easy to compare documents without opening them at the same time
Cons
  • I wish it was a bit more user friendly and had a more intuitive user interface

Great program when using many editors

Beyond Compare 5 was the first version I've used a comparison tool, very easy to learn, and use. When I switch to another computer it takes a little while to get the programs up to speed. So it's not a perfect tool for a new user but has gotten the job done. Beyond Compare helps you identify differences and similarities between files. I was able to solve the situation where files from different sources were not identical. I like that it's pretty easy to use once you get used to it. You can't…

Pros
  • Not too complicated or confusing; just intuitive enough..and they provide excellent support through email/phone which seems rare these days in tech field..a breath OF fresh air! :)They offer free trial period before purchasing full license.Great value considering price tag AND quality
Cons
  • Not the best

Great for comparing files and folders in fast way

It is very easy to use - just drag & drop between two versions of any file or folder! The UI could be more modernized (like with native MS Office apps). And I wish it was possible to open 2 different version side by side without having both opened at once like VS Code does now that they have multiple panes support. This feature would make me switch from VC completely if BC ever added this functionality :) If there's something wrong with one specific diff tool out here please mention what…

Pros
  • Even if there's changes in 1 side other side still stays same
Cons
  • It's UI is not as intuitive as VS Code's

Brilliant document and image management tool for large companies

The best thing about this software is that it has excellent file comparison features as well as merging capabilities which are very useful when working with multiple versions of documents or other types of content such as images etc.. There's nothing I dislike at all! It does exactly what we need - so there really isn't anything else needed but more advanced options if required would be nice though they do have an online support team should any issues arise. We use BC quite often during our…

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Great for visualisation purposes, great way in seeing changes visually before committing.
  • Can set up rules easily by defining filters e g specific word matching requirements within text files can simply click filter button select criteria then press "find differences" tab under new search window)
  • Very good merge function too allowing easy updates into target folder without losing valuable data from original source version
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
