Every aspect of beyond compare, I just love it. The compare of two files is awesome and more more awesome part if the entire folder compare. The more beauty is holding the history of the compare even after closing the sessions. I love beyond compare to the core.. Just can't stop loving it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beyond Compare is a robust, enterprise level comparison tool. I've used it for years, and never waiver in my confidence in it. What's great is that it will compare any two files, and match up what's the same, pointing out the differences. If the files are too different, you can help by matching up single lines. There's an inline match as well, which will show which words or characters are different there. This tool support multiple tabs, and is colorized to easily show differences.

I really have nothing bad to say about this tool! What could make it better? Um, make it free, haha. There is a cost associated with the tool, and they need to make money somehow, but that's all I can say as a dreamer reaching... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default viewset for this tool is very useful. You do not need to do much tweaking to see a simple comparison. The difference highlighting is very intuitive and just simply works. Other free comparison tools make you do a bunch of tweaking to make it more useful but beyond compare just works right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only "gripe" is that it is not free :) Also, I tried to use a few of the masking features and was a little confused by how to use them properly. The options for setting rules and masking seemed fairly comprehensive, but I was never able to get them to work. That is more user error as I did not dig too deeply into the help documents. The addition of a simple masking feature would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface is very user friendly and simple, dont need any prior knowledge for simple comparisons. The way it shows differences and matches is too good, we can easily find out the differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
