It has got customized comparison feature like ignore the white spaces or ignore the character case as well as window of the file can be layout in different form like three pane view two pane view etc.
They provide the comparison tool for free as well as paid and they also give the trial version.
One can see the changes easily and merge them as per their need.
Not to dislike but they are not innovative and do not bring the update fast.
similar functionality like the rest of code comparison tool
i would recommend it to anyone who has work in the different version of a file system or lot of developer working on the same code at the same time.
comparing the code with latest version as well as workplace version is very useful and It also comes handy while syncing the changes and merging them
The way the options are provided to highlight the differences, move the code either way, provision to ignore spaces line breaks, case sensitivity etc.. Al the options are useful for integrating code from different entities.
There are not any major points to dislike about Code Compare. But I would like to say one problem that Im facing i.e., when we scroll the first pane horizontally the second pane also scrolls but not the the same distance. If the first pane contains 1000 characters horizontally and if the second pane contains 3000 and when you scroll th efirst pane for 500 characters, the second pane scrolls for 1500 characters.
IIf you need a software to identify the exact changes, go for it.
Code comparison and integration. Can quickly analyze the differences and gives you a high level understanding of the changes made to the code.
It provide us a good interface to compare files and folders to identify the latest changes by ignore the white space and easily to merge latest changes code with old one after comparison.
While we tried to compare large size files, it's not respond and took long time to open files.
In my current organisation I have used it to compare large SQL runmes, files and all sql jobs to keep record the changes after upgrade the system and easily fix any issue by compare code of latest with old one..
What I like about this product is that it can let me easily compare codes and easily spot the code that needs change.
Some UI changes should be added to have a better view of the UI, especially when viewing in 4k monitors.
UI enhancement
In debugging codes that need asap, and viewing history don't much help, I pull up code compare to easily spot the difference and will assist me what codes caused a bug.
i like that when you forget your changes in code, this tool helps to find your changes by comparing with initial code before the change. It easy to use.
not found any dislike but they should provide some more features also like git hub.
It helps to find out changes in application/code by comparison and helps alot to resolve issues if occurred due to our code.
It allow us to compare different files and folder. Graphical user interface is very attractive as it shows the difference in many fonts and colors. We can merge the file easily even we are working on TFS and SVN.
Overall it very good tool to compare any merge file and folder changes but sometime it takes time to compare large file and also need to restart this tool.
Comparing and merging files on TFS.
it can be integrated into a range of version control systems and, thus, enhance change tracking and synchronization are easier
sometimes the results are n't appropriate and sometimes the GUI gets stuck
when uploading my code into git i usually compare if i want to go to previous version if my current version has problems and use code compare
In our team, one of the features we use most often is the three way comparison. It allows users to compare two revisions with the base code. The lexical text comparison works well and is another valuable feature.
Other than a couple of suggested UI tweaks, I believe that this works well for our purposes.
We solve the issue of working on the same areas of code with multiple teams on different time zones. This product helps keep our team efficient and our code compare sessions quick and easy.
Highlighting the difference with line numbers and detecting the patterns even if the code is jumbled.Tool bar options to provide code source from different loactions
confusing merge options at times or not so user friendly i how i see those options
Merge options visualization needs to improved to get better adaptability during ealry stages
resolving code conflicts while moving the code around the branches and environments
Code comparison, development, Code reviews, peer reviews.
Tool is pretty straightforward with a decent interface.
Best thing is that is very fast.
Interface is very simple but there are scrolling iissues at times
Ability to get diff of code
