5/5

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

I wear many hats from sys admin, programmer, dba, data prep and analysis. UltraEdit has been my teams go to from it's early days, UltraEdt32! Key features that sold me were the syntax highlighting, regular expression search and replace, column editing, hex editing, file compare and support/speed for very large files, even networked files. It also understands Linux and DOS line endings. This product rocks!

I do mostly Perl, Javascript, and CSV editing with syntax. The column editing and sums are really a DBA or data scientist dream. I always use a variety of tools to trim down data I'm working on, but UltraEdit has come to the rescue many times loading, searching and fixing huge tangles of data.

I feel the UltraEdit team has always struck a balance of staying in their lane yet using integration where needed. Not trying to be all things to all users. Very configurable and tons of features but all to the point.

Lastly, they are clearly engaged in active and continuous development. Usually, the only support I've needed was migration of the app to the next windows release a couple of times. I have discussed features on a few occasions. They are always fast, professional and down to earth. A great combination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

It doesn't read my mind to fix typoes. Seriously though, most features I have thought of have been implemented before I can request them.

Ok, one beef, does anyone really use the highlighted current line which is default?? Easy to change every few years when I get a new PC, but uglie, sticking with the typoes theme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraEdit:

Give it a whirl. Grab a large log file and do some searches. Highlight a huge column of text and replace it. Then compare the results to the original.

Browse through the configuration to see the many features not only available, but configurable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UltraEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

My job is to move and manipulate data. Programming Perl is common, as is studying and fixing data files, sometimes very large, for layout problems or anomalies including weird hex bits. UltraEdit is indispensable! Benefits realized weekly, if not daily from it's stability, usability and speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
