"File Sync - it does what it needs to do!"
| Posted 2023-07-20
Pros: Once set up and with appropriate monitoring in place, it is a solid product. The support from both Open Seas and Soft ware Pursuits has been very good.
Overall: We chose SureSync to replace Windows DFS to synchronise data between servers in 5 separate sites. The granularity, real-time and log views of individual actions meant that SureSync was a huge step up from DFS in terms of manageability and tunability. The product development over the years has ensured that SureSync has become ever more reliable.

"Best file synchronization software so far"
| Posted 2022-04-07
Pros: Flexibility - tasks and jobs can be configured in many ways allowing synchronization including a lot of criterias. Clarity - in contrast to "well known other solution" SureSync consoles and logs shows actually what the tasks are doing, what files requires attention and why. Lock mechanism also works great after initial file synchronization.
Overall: This is the best file synchronization software I've tested so far. At first glance UI might look unintuitive until you realise the philosophy behind it. After that all becomes clear.

"Works well but room for improvement"
| Posted 2023-09-21
Pros: SureSync is easy enough to setup and maintain. Installation and updates are very straight forward. The design is not overly complicated but still allows it be deployed the way we need it. There are a lot of configuration options. Support is always responsive and helps to resolve any issues we have. Pricing is very attractive when compared to alternative products.
Overall: SureSync is a significant improvement on DFS-R. It provides good details about replication and alerts when there are issues. We have had some issues with it that have caused some data integrity questions but generally works as expected.
