What do you like best about UltraEdit?

I started using UltraEdit 20ish years ago when I was managing EDI files. UltraEdit made it easy to work with and validate fixed width files. It is very fast to start up and use. It's intuitive and continually improves. I use it today to look at and edit everything from JSON and XML files to JavaScript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

The only thing that comes to mind as far as dislike, is that there is a full suite of tools and sometimes I am unsure why I should use UltraEdit vs UltraStudio. I would really like all of the tools to be together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraEdit:

It's cross platform, the few times I have needed to access support they have been super responsive. All in all - one of the few tools I use on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UltraEdit - in my initial use - made it possible to easily deal with large numbers of files. Now I use it for everything including editing JS files, working with queries and general text editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

UltraEdit is fast, powerful, intuitive, and necessary to troubleshoot problems with data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

There is nothing to criticize with UltraEdit, and I am working with a five-year-old version! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I submitted an old data file to a vendor. Instead of providing an error code pointing to the faulty record, the file caused their system to crash. I could see nothing wrong with the file on my end. I bought UltraEdit and located an unprintable character in a free-text field. Using UltraEdit, I removed the unprintable character and resent the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

I have been using Ultra-Edit for over 20 years. It is, without a doubt the, most adaptable, reliable text editor EVER. When I first started, I found its simplicity and intuitive nature to be what I liked best. Still, now with the myriad of coding choices appearing almost daily, it is nice to know that the one tool I rely upon embraces the chaos of the impossibly dynamic game of syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

There have been many, MANY, additional features added to the tool over the years. While I am sure SOME developers need these features, but for a simple developer like myself, It can slow down access to the elegant simplicity on which I rely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraEdit:

This is to developers what hammer and saw are to carpenters...if it ain't in your toolbox you cannot properly hone your craft! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Today I am about to abandon the proprietary application generation tools that have served us so well over the past 20+ years and enter the world of One-Size-does-not-fit-anyone to accomplish the Custom Fit that all my customers deserve. Because IDM's Ultra-edit has so adeptly adapted to coding dynamics, I am, just today, ALL in with IDM ALL Access. I expect that now I will be able to build the kinds of things that are needed instead of merely providing what is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

The editor does not lose the data and windows even if it is closed, and you can continue working where you left off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

I'm not too fond of the fact that programs disappear from the suite and that the newly added programs are only activated for us through a subsequent purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UltraEdit?

After working with UltraEdit, I found it's intuitive and easy to Use Text editors compared with Others in the market.

The "column editing" feature is the best I like about UltraEdit.

Also, It regularly gives updates, and sometimes, they are beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraEdit?

I've not found any significant issues with Ultredit in all the years of using it, but It takes a while to open big files. Can it be a little bit faster? So that it will not take much time to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work with Content Management for an Intranet website, so the Text Editor is the primary benefit I have realised because I can compare the new release file with already existing ones. Hence, I am aware of the changes to be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
