Implementation was simple as it does compare new to already existing files that you already have in the directories. I setup a simple task for the radiologist here and he was very happy with the way it synced up the data for him in both realtime and on a schedule. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone. Shows you a list of what was copied too that is quite nice. > > **Cons**: Some of the tasks can be kind of complicated to setup. You have to think about the file extensions and how you want to setup the transfer and where it will reside. Takes some trial work to get things going sometimes that what I am saying. > > saved us alot of time and actually worked better than expected for the doctor. ----- ### "The best synchronisation software available." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 January 2018* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reliable synchronisation allowing good automation options, filtering and an excellent choice of target clouds. > > **Cons**: Inability to synchronise the same set of data simultaneously means that complex setups have lots of failures until a job "gets its slot". In particular backup jobs should be bale to run without locking everything. > > Reliable backup to cloud and synchronisation between sites and to laptops. ----- ### "Awful. Complete waste of money." — 1.0/5 > **David** | *23 August 2017* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to delete. That's about the best thing I can say: it can be removed by simply dropping it in the trash. > > **Cons**: I have used GoodSync on and off for several years. Here's my typical experience: \* I install the latest version of GoodSync. \* I encounter various intermittent errors. \* I delete GoodSync and use another solution. Why do I keep going back? Because I paid for it, and I cling to the hope that they will eventually make it \*minimally\* effective. No dice. It remains as much garbage as it was when I purchased it. Examples: \* Locks up while attempting to sync to a folder. Just becomes totally unresponsive. The process needs to be killed, and often the machine rebooted, to recover from the lockup. \* "Undefined Error: 0." Constantly. This is GoodSync's version of "An error occurred." Don't bother emailing GoodSync customer support - they don't know and won't help you. \* Sync jobs just fail, spontaneously, mid-sync. The sync is running perfectly, the volumes are both still available... and it abruptly stops. \* The network browser is overdesigned and overcomplicated. All you want do is to specify a URL, a username, and a password. Sometimes it accepts the settings. Sometimes it just retains the old settings, and barfs out random error messages. I give up. They are never going to make this software to minimal usability. I have scoured all of my computer systems of this bloated trashware. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't waste your time, and don't give this developer money. You will regret every dime and every moment you spend on this garbage. > > I developed great experience with debugging and anger management. It inspired me to scout the market for other solutions, and it encouraged me to learn rsync as a substitute. ----- ### "Perfect tool to selectively backup and sync data" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 June 2020* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fine tuned tool for selective backups and folder sync Several triggers can be set up Impressively detailed time scheduling for periodic activities Supports syncs and backups across network devices > > **Cons**: Not for non experienced users GUI is improvable Maybe a wizard could help to make it more user-friendly > > GoodSync is one of the most complete solutions for selective backups and folder sync across local networks. It provide a classic 2 sides interface (sources \> destinations) and a bunch of parameters and checks to perform file validation during reading-writing processes. Recommended as an alternative to cloud sync services within LAN. ----- ### "Instead of saving data on 2-3 places, I can sync different clouds, save spaces." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything that I need about my backup data. I desperately needed to sync it to cloud and back to my PC without any other software installation. GoodSync does it. I never delete the files here, just to be sure that I don't need them anymore. I can customize sync options to different hard drives and that's the part I love most. > > **Cons**: It took me too long to set up as it is pretty slow in getting installed. Free utilities are also present, but with same features, and automatic exception handling can really cause problem sometimes. One of my files was deleted not to be found again :-( > > The software is great, but once I format my computer and reinstall it, it again asks for license and I've to contact customer support, but I am hopeful this will be resolved soon, and you'll link the license to my IP. It saves a lot of time for me. I love the easy to delete function that features with this software. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/227653/goodsync?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/227653/goodsync) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
