Compare large folders

If Compare Suite can compare large folders that contain subfolders and highlight the differences in folders structure and in files in particular.

Business Problem

I have some large folders containing subfolders on my hard drive. And I also have the copies of them on a CD created earlier. I need to check if there are any changes in these folders and in files in particular. I don’t have much time for this task. Can Compare Suite help me, as I need to do it promptly?

Problem Response

CS allows comparing folders including subfolders and files within them. Unlike many other office applications, CS is capable of making detailed report of any changes detected. The Comparative Report contains all changes detected in folders and even in every separate file (modified, added or deleted text). This can be very useful when you have many folders that need to be compared promptly.

Business Problem

I have some folders that I want to compare with the original copy. I read the information on the website that your program allows comparing not only files but folders too. My question is: Can you program detect and show changes in files when making folder comparison?

Problem Response

Compare Suite allows comparing folders, subfolders and files in them (even when running folders comparison operation). Actually it is one of the most advanced tools in terms of comparing text. If the program detects any changes (modified, added or deleted text) it will show you the differences detected and you can also make comparison report (automatically).
