"A Very convenient tool for quick comparison"
5/5
What do you like best about Compare It! by Grig Software?

Really cool tool for a quick comparison. The compare report is the one which is one of the best features. This report can be printed to a PDf to share as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compare It! by Grig Software?

The UI Part shouldhave been still better. It wont store the session of the recent compares done. also if the files to be compared are on a shared drive/one drive then most of the times I had issues getting CompareIt to read from the one drive. Not sure if this is issue with CompareIt or with security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, yet useful"
5/5
What do you like best about Compare It! by Grig Software?

CompareIt is a tool I use rarely, but when I need it it always helps. We mostly use Google Docs for writing collaboration so finding the changes isn't complicated there. But when we receive texts from freelancers that have come through several iterations and versions, CompareIt helps with seeing all of the changes applied. It's essential for us to check if all of the corrections and additions were made, so running the two versions side-by-side is a very fast and effective way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compare It! by Grig Software?

With how simple and straightforward CompareIt is there's little to dislike. Of course it's not 100% correct all the times, but in a different manner. Sometimes CompareIt detects more differences than there actually is, but that's the additional point to check that's brought to our attention. So it's better to find more than miss something.

"Irreplaceable app"
4/5
What do you like best about Compare It! by Grig Software?

Compare It! is an app with a very simple premise - it compares two texts and highlights the differences. In the modern age of version control in Google Docs or Zoho Writer, you'd think that you don't need an app like that. Yes, for the comparison of the internal docs it makes no sense. But when a client sends you the 6th version of the newly updated contract without marking the corrections, this is where Compare It! comes into play. You simply paste two texts side by side and Compare It! shows you what has changed between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compare It! by Grig Software?

Compare It! is a free and rather simple app, so don't expect much. It might not show you all the differences at once and the parts of text might not be fully marked, but it's more than enough to know where you should start looking for the mismatches between the two documents.

"Useful for file comparison on Windows"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Compare It! by Grig Software?

Compare it is a great file comparison tool for windows, being GUI based it's about as easy as it gets! You simply select the two files you wish to compare and it returns a split-screen, with one file on the left and the other on the right. The differences between the files are clearly shown by way of highlighting, it also leaves a space where the difference is on the other file, so the rest of the code matches up and again it's easier to see where the change is.

There''s lots of other useful little features, like the ability to send the difference to the other file or vice versa, by way of a single click.

The files are clearly titled at the top, this helps greatly with confusion. When starring into the abyss of a lcd until dawn you can easily forget which files current....well I can anyway, a quick glance up and you know your on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compare It! by Grig Software?

Having to remember to ctrl+tab to insert a tab for me is a minor niggle.

The standard functionality is that the tab key changes you over the the other file, I use the tab key frequently when indenting code.

If your like me, fear not, they have included a way to change the keymapping which is the perfect solution albeit a bit clunky. Found in the options, I removed the keymapping for the switching pane, which was set to the tab key. After this the tab key just did nothing, I had to go back and find the keymapping for inserting a tab and then remove the ctrl + tab and just add a tab on its on. Most keymapping I've used work on the logic that if a key isn't assigned, the default for the key is used. If you don't map a space bar to something,...it should produce a space.

"Compare It makes light work of what can be very difficult"
5/5
What do you like best about Compare It! by Grig Software?

I like that the software is considerably easier to use than most other products claiming to do the same thing. When comparing many documents in a row, it is nice that the software remembers the last folders from both the source and destination files so you don't have to keep browsing back to where you want to be. The product is very user friendly and doesn't take a huge learning curve to figure out what you are doing. Each feature has been very easy to use as well as very easy to find. Some products like to add more features into their software which in turn either makes it look bad or they weren't able to follow through on any one feature. That is not compare it.

What do you dislike about Compare It! by Grig Software?

I haven't found anything that I dislike just yet. It just seems to work which is all that you can ask for in such a basic product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
