Conclusions
For
software engineers and web masters
For
legal, health care, education professionals:
For those software engineers who work only with Excel files, we would recommend Synkronizer. It
allows compare Excel files, but lack other functionality
(comparing other file formats).
Synkronizer. Has ability to merge Excel files
(only in developer version that costs 200 US$). But merge ability
is useful only for plain structured excel spreadsheets.
For legal, health care, education
professionals we would recommend our Compare Suite.
Compare Suite. Costs 60$ allows to Compare Excel spreadsheets,
has ability to compare other file formats (.doc, .pdf, .htm).
Once you need to compare Excel file you will have to apply
several comparison methods, such as compare files by words and by
keywords. Only Compare Suite can suggest you "by
keywords" comparison method. Read
