"Ultra Edit: Time and Sanity Saver"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

I really like the search features of Ultra Edit and the ease with which files can be edited and saved.

I also think it's worth mentioning that the staff support is really excellent. Anytime I encounter an issue, the staff is really quick to address my primary concern and help me meet my needs rather than consistently attempting to up sale me an item. Along those lines, I feel like the pricing structure is really nice because it's arranged in a way that is transparent and isn't dependent on our institution's current student enrollment or other variable factors that some other software companies use to price their items.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

I don't truly dislike any of Ultra Edit's features.

I do wish the sort feature was a little more like Excel where information that needs to be sorted could be more quickly selected and sorted. However, I think this is one of those areas where a person just gets better at the sort feature with extended use because my supervisor is actually very quick at sorting via Ultra Edit. I, however, seem to always have a tough time reminding myself how the sort feature works. All that being said, there is a sort feature and it does work and prove helpful when attempting to quickly compare data line-by-line. Any issues encounter with the sort feature can likely be attributed to user error rather than software error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraEdit:

I suggest others set up this item for the free trial because nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you like the product, the cost is really not prohibitive especially considering the amount of support you will receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use UltraEdit for our State reports. If there's a problem with the way a student's data is exporting, the information can be fixed directly in UltraEdit so that a large amount of time isn't spent trying to figure out why something such as an arbitrary leading zero did not export from our Student Information System (SIS.) Instead of spending a ton of time attempting to fix our student system's edit reports and attempting to figure out why all the needed characters aren't exporting, we can just fix the issue directly in the Ultra edit file view which enables us to more quickly submit any needed State report revisions.
