Publisher's Description
From Qdea:
Synchronize! Pro X is specifically engineered for OS X, taking advantage of the modern properties of the operating system, such as pre-emptive multitasking, and supporting the full capabilities of the file system, including 255-character Unicode file names and OS X file permissions. Files are copied at the maximum speed possible, using pre-emptive multitasking to full advantage. It makes bootable backups of OS X system disks, without logging in as 'root'. "Fast scan" makes updating a bootable backup incredibly quick, and real-time folder watching starts backups when files are changed. Old files can be archived rather than deleted. The status of backups can be monitored and accessed from any web browser and email can be sent when backups happen, don't happen or have errors.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a problem with the acceptance of serial numbers.
- Fixed a problem which could cause warnings to not be shown.

"Very strong features, versatile and highly reliable"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.2
Pros
Has more features than I have ever seen in one product. Transparent process, especially useful for synchronizing, where one wants to see and manage what happens - in real time. Has 3 main functions: Backup, synch and make bootable start-up disk.
Cons
Might seem a little expensive and one needs to renew the license every two years, but I have not found a single other product that can do what this product does.I have tested more than 10+ other apps - and allways went back to use Synchronize! Pro.
Summary
Great product, that might deserve an updated user-interface, but don't underestimate the product. It's highly reliable, makes the processes transparent and deserves to be listed among the very best of its' kind. And I'm not on the payroll of that company. Over the years I have contacted the company a couple of times and has received useful assistance or answers. The many settings might look confusing to newcomers, but the standard-settings will work in most instances. Try it out against other products and you will see what I mean.

"Does the job but shows its age"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.3
Pros
Does what it says: synchronize files. Can create bootable backups (great). Has enough pro options and settings to create very complex backup schedules, including hands-off scheduled ones.
Cons
The interface is not changed in all the years that I've been using it and especially the settings are very tough to go through.

"Still the best Mac OS X backup application"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.3
Pros
Fully automatable and customizable; constantly under development; Sync Pro X is the top of the line in backup software.
Cons
There are no "cons".
Summary
If you need a backup application with the kind of flexibility and features Sync Pro X provides, there's nothing else that comes close. This is NOT an application for the casual user who just wants to back up a bunch of data. There are all kinds of apps that can do that. But if you need serious backup capability (for example, the ability to copy "No access" folders and files with root privileges), you need Sync Pro X. Sure, you can do all that stuff in Terminal.app...IF you know what you're doing, and IF you don't mind screwing around with command line input. But if you want to automate your backups, including opening various files, running scripts, mounting or unmounting connected volumes, invoking other applications, or even shutting down your computer as part of the backup sequence, Sync Pro X is the app to get.

"The best and most fully-featured backup app for OS X"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.2
Pros
It's well-supported and has all the advanced backup and sync features I need
Cons
There isn't anything I don't like about it.
Summary
If you just want to back up folders or other data, you don't need Synchronize! Pro X. But if you need powerful folder synchronization features, no-fault bootable backups of entire system volumes or disks, incremental backups (backup only the files that have changed), and fully automated backups with the ability to mount remote volumes, execute scripts, call other applications, open and close specific files, or even shutdown or reboot a computer as part of a backup sequence, Sync Pro X is the backup application you're looking for.
I've been a user since v1.2.2, and I've tried many other backup apps (including CCC). Some of them do some things well, but none of them do all the things Sync Pro X does. If you need serious, professional, fully-featured backup capability, Sync Pro X isn't just the best, it's the ONLY backup app that provides it all. -
"Registration Kills it"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I only need to use this software a couple times a year. The software is very powerful but unfortunately, their registration process is painful, slow and there is no way to move it easily to another computer. It also does NOT work with mobile accounts if you are using OS X server. I am frustrated this time enough that I logged into VT only to give a negative review. ie. If you sell your computer, or wipe the drive, or trade-up, it will take you a day or two before you can use the software again. FOr this reason I do NOT recommend the software and do not sell it to customers.
- Frustrated. -
"Good Software BAD LICENSING MODEL"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.1
Pros
Works fine for Synchronizing folders and files
Cons
YOU GET A 2yrs license for 100$ It is a rip off. BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM.. If you don't update your SW regularly you get stuck with a really old version and you CANNOT find online the latest version that you can upgrade to with your license
Summary
YOU GET A 2yrs license for 100$ It is a rip off. BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM.. If you don't update your SW regularly you get stuck with a really old version and you CANNOT find online the latest version that you can upgrade to with your license ---- IT IS DEFINITELY A RIP - OFF
The licensing model is absolutely unfair and if you are not careful you will waste 100$. -

"Fast Scan is FAST!"
Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
After the first backup routine, subsequent scans are almost instantaneous. You have to try Fast Scan to believe it. Next up (I hope): improving the UI.
