Ultra compare is easy to use and shows your files side by side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Personnally there is nothing I dislike about ultra compare. it does what it says it does and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its flexibility in comparing files or folders, 2 or 3 way comparison allows a powerful comparison.
Different comparison modes adds extra features (text, tables or binary).
A 'lite' version is integrated with UltraEdit, but is highly recommendable to acquire as part of a bundle
Can be launched from inside Ultraedit session as is part of the tools catalogue from IDM and can be configured in the same way as UltraEdit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No special disgusting features. Probably what is more "disturbing" is some errors in translations into Spanish, in my case, but once reported, solution is very fast and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ultra compare is fast and the default options can be configured to get the view you are looking for just right for folder or file comparisons. I change my default IDE comparison tool to this in any one that will let me. The view is clean and sharp. The git integration is a newer feature that has been very helpful as well.

It does require a yearly subscription now. But I've been using it for so long I bought a life time subscription years ago that the don't offer anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have had the need to compare changes in files to find changes to data output and to compare software source code files to make sure they're in sync for deployment. It's is extremely easy to compare individual files and huge collections of files in multiple folders with only a few mouse clicks, and being able to see just what's changed, and possibly even automating the updates to put them in sync is extremely powerful. This is an incredibly powerful tool that I wouldn't want to be without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, I have no complaints whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ultra Compare is well integrated into the context menus and has an amazing interface. I find the three way merges very helpful in managing code and as needed comparing large productions of data to ensure the integrity of the data. When using the PDF compare tools it handles the comparisons perfectly - allowing you to identify glitches in your own software's PDF creation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ultra Compare on rare occasions can take a moment to review the selected files - but that's due to it's thoroughness in comparing data. If you use Ultra Compare (and other IDM software) behind a corporate firewall you have to hand add proxy settings instead of automatic detection of the firewall.

It has (almost, I'll come to that in a bit) all I ask to a comparison tool:
1. single files
2. folders
3. filters (both for excluding from comparison and simply from view)
4. recursive comparing
5. can compare files starting from comparison of folders
6. easily merge differences Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only think I would improve would be the option to increase the font size in the folder view:
sometimes it is hard to read the filenames... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best feature by far is how well it integrates with Ultraedit. Does a great job of comparing different file types like Excel. The folder compare functions are great and a great time saver for testing. Handles large files really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing in particular as it does what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very useful when you are troubleshooting configuration issues
Also, the binary mode has helped me to identify codification errors when comparing same file compiled with two different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing in particular. I've mainly used text, 3 way text and binary fast modes and work as I need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
easy to use with the ability to have multiple folders or files open in multiple tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price and not to many updates are allowed before that license will not let you update to a newer version. So you get locked down to an older version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
