Even so, any troubleshooting in the Better Compare app is straightforward.Īs this program is designed for programmers, it is made to be customizable. However, Meld has the advantage because you can compare three items at the same time. Winmerge cannot merge three files as Beyond Compare can.
When you are comparing the code, the app will highlight differences in red. Unlike its competitor Meld, Better Compare (BC) has the power to examine and compare files and directories, including examining MP3 files and images. Steve Gibson of GRC recommended it as "a really cool.very smart Windows-based source comparison tool".Why spend time tediously comparing things when Beyond Compare can do it for you? A set of predefined rules are included for the comparison of common file types, such as C++ source code, XML, and HTML files.
The customizable rules control which differences between two files should be flagged as such. Scott Mitchell, writing for MSDN Magazine, identified the program's comparison rules as its most powerful feature. Beyond Compare was featured in the March 2005 issue of the Windows IT Pro magazine, in the "What's Hot" section. He highlighted the program's "watch list" feature for particular acclaim. PC World writer Michael Desmond included the program in a 2005 list of utilities for a "Trouble-Free PC". The reviewers initially found the user interface to be "a little overwhelming", but "quickly got the hang of it", after using the program for a little while. In an April 2009 review, Beyond Compare was awarded four out of five stars by CNET. A strength of Beyond Compare is that it can be configured as difftool and mergetool of version control systems, such as git. It is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems.
Aside from comparing files, the program is capable of doing side-by-side comparison of directories, FTP and SFTP directories, Dropbox directories, Amazon S3 directories, and archives. Beyond Compare is a proprietary data comparison utility.
