"Huge time saver"
Version: DiffEngineX 2.23
Pros
Very powerful program. Huge time saver. Overall, I'd say it is absolutely worth the money... I will be buying it after the trial period.
Cons
None really... it takes a bit of playing around to get a good feel for how it works... but it's worth it... so it's not really a con.
Summary
I needed to compare two spreadsheets (about 1500 rows and 20 columns each). I downloaded several excel compare programs and got nowhere... decided to do it manually.
It took me an hour to find what I was looking for using vlookups and if/then statements. I knew there had to be a better way.
It looked like this program had some decent reviews so I tried it out. It took me about an hour to figure out how to get it to kick out what I was looking for... but now I could do it in 5 minutes. This program absolutely ROCKS. I will buy it after the trial period. If you need to compare big spreadsheets - this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!!! This is a very powerful program. I've downloaded hundreds of programs in the last decade and this is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review. One last thing... something that is not immediately obvious - you can insert data filters on the results spreadsheet by highlighting the blank row between the data and the headers... you can also hyperlink all the results so if something looks interesting, you can just click on it... -
"Extremely useful program"
Version: DiffEngineX 2.20
Pros
Program allows you to rapidly compare large volumes of data in two spreadsheets. We have found dozens of uses for the program.
Cons
Learning curve is a bit steep if you are not reasonably comfortable with Excel. Color coding is difficult to understand.
Summary
One of the most useful programs I have ever used. Does one thing and does it very well. I have used this program on a daily basis to compare enormous spreadsheets containing hundreds of thousands of lines and nothing makes it easier to identify duplicates and/or unique lines. You will find uses you never dreamed of.

"Every Excel user needs this. Fast and accurate."
Version: DiffEngineX 1.44.0.0
Pros
Does the job well and fast. Lots of options. If your office needs to track the changes made to Excel spreadsheets this is the tool for you. I've looked around and it seems to be the only one that compares named ranges and at the character level.
Cons
It is less good at comparing database data. The data has to be sorted first. But if you do this one extra step, it will work well and is much faster than a lot of other Excel compare utilities.
Summary
It runs through big worksheets like a knife through butter. It works and works well. Much faster than a lot of other Excel compare tools around.

"Great tool if you work with Excel"
Version: DiffEngineX 1.17
Pros
I work with Excel daily and this tool makes my life much easier. It has lots of nice touches such as removing existing workbook color before adding its color.
Sometimes we need to compare a dozen large workbooks and that is where its command line args feature comes in handy.

"Powerful options for advanced users"
Version: DiffEngineX 1.17
Pros
I compared two spreadsheets with complex, nested formulae that differed only by a few characters. I turned on precise highlighting and the differences were highlighted in red. It saved me the hassle of pasting formulae out into a text editor and enlarging the font so I could compare the differences by hand.

"Fast and Copes with Large, Complex Workbooks"
Version: DiffEngineX 1.17
Pros
This is one of the cheapest compare utilities for Excel but has almost all the features you want. It generates reports in Excel workbooks which can be compared right next to the originals. This is much more useful than a report that can only be opened in a non-Excel application.
