CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really perfect for keeping files in sync" September 22, 2019 5.0 Keeping local copies of network files on notebooks in sync. Pros On our computers I literally have to keep hundreds of gigabytes in sync. GoodSync is almost perfect in this. If wanted, it syncs in the background. E. g. we use Nextcloud as our cloud storage. It works tremendpusly together with it. Cons License shifting is a bit difficult since when you want to port a license to a new computer due to hardware change, always ALL licenses of the same purchase have to be reactivated.

" July 3, 2019 4.0 Backup small KB sized data files to other disk and S3 bucket of AWS. Pros The software is Easy of Implementation and very Robust. Cons Becomes slow when scanning file list at S3 bucket (has 1million files) when syncing from local to s3 bucket. It scans full list every time that takes 2 hours even when the bucket is used to just put file to s3 with no writes from other source.

Pros It used to work well........................... Cons I reloaded my harddrive from scratch. Now can't activate software. Tried to create a Goodsync account and cant log into that. And you can't talk to support unless you can log in! I am totally frustrated with this and am giving up. Reason for choosing GoodSync I thought it was a good choice. Wrong! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This program is a Godsend!" March 10, 2018 5.0 Pros This program is a godsend. I have a MyCloud, a personal cloud storage device. I wanted to back it up to Dropbox, so that I had my items saved in two places for protection, especially as the MyCloud is kept running all the time. No other program allowed me to backup to Dropbox from a networked drive. It's fast, it's easy. It does what it says it does. Setting things up could not be easier, and it's so nice to be able to pick and choose what folders to save, so you can wait on longer uploads for another time if you just want to do an emergency backup. 10 stars! Cons Sometimes it can be a little buggy and try to overwrite items that aren't new. So you have to go and select "Same name, diff time" or whatever that option is, and mark to not upload those. It would be nice if it could automatically check and not upload things that haven't changed, that way you don't have to stop a sync in progress to go back and skip things. It might even be possible, honestly, I just haven't found the right combination of settings to make that work yet. :) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Supply Chain Specialist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For Well-Synced Teams" August 30, 2018 5.0 Pros GoodSync provides feature such as data backup and file and activity log synchronization. GoodSync delivers what it advertised, a good data backup and synchronization. It is fairly easy to use and easy to maneuver around. Not much complications were faced with GoodSync. Cons Not many disadvantage were faced with GoodSync. It provided what it promised. Review Source DM Darren M. web developer Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable syncing software saves so much time" December 22, 2018 5.0 Pros \- cuts out the middle man and saves so much time syncing files from one hard drive/decive to another - if a file changes in one destination, it will update the file in second destination automatically again, saving time and effort - once set up, no need to "turn on" or "log in" as such, syncing will occur automatically Cons \- syncing to cloud solutions can be slow. - learning curve to set up, can take alot of time/concentration if unfamiliar with this style of software however once set up you are good to go! Review Source MH Menrad H. Leiter IT Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "daily I synchronize about 80 devices" November 17, 2017 4.0 Pros Ingenious, that I must no longer have to access directly to the affected devices. The overview in the dashboard is very good. The view on the status is very important to me. Automated synchronization is a big help for us. Cons It is a pity that I can not search / filter the individual devices in the dashboard. It would be great if you could group the individual devices. Review Source Response from Siber Systems November 20, 2017 Hi Menrad - thank you for taking the time to provide a review. Regarding the ability to search/filter individual devices, while GoodSync Server does not have this functionality, the GoodSync Control Center does.

PM Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy backup and sync tool" June 7, 2017 5.0 Pros This tool has a very easy to use UI and enables users to take control of large sync tasks. In the latest version it's also possible to sync cloudbased storage (e.g. Onedrive). Scheduling synctasks is also very handy. Cons This tool takes some time to set up. On the other hand it does give you much more control over your sync and backup tasks. Review Source ZB Ziya B.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Producer Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It should be named “BestSync” instead" August 26, 2018 5.0 Pros GoodSync has provided our team with the Sync-ing needs we have been searching for. SetUp was fairly easy, the software was manageable and very user-friendly. Everything was good and it worked as it was advertised. Updates were more than several, which is a great thing, knowing that the creators have every intention to make their product better. Cons I've had difficulties with certain file extensions transfers on a few occasions, but it looks like its been sorted out. Review Source PB Prakash B. IT Security Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent software to sync file between PC and cloud" February 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Goodsync can sync files between PCs or PC to cloud with no other software needed. Good auditing of all activity Option to keep multiple versions and deleted files It can run as a service Cons Workstation and server licensing is different even though they use same software. Difficult to keep up with version changes. (Good problem to have) Review Source TR Thomas R. President Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Superb software for the money. It does exactly what it says, and I have yet to see an issue with it." November 6, 2017 5.0 Pros Support has been excellent. Superb software for the money. It does exactly what it says, and I have yet to see an issue with it. Updates are prompt, work, and simply do their part to manage the backups. Cons So far, there have been no noticeable cons to this software. It's not free, but then again, free usually isn't worthwhile. Review Source vS voris S. Admin Shipbuilding Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Experiences" July 24, 2018 5.0 Pros Reliable, accurate the server handles multiple connections well Cons Sync over slow lines, it takes a lot of time to complete. It would had been a nice feature if we could only sync a specific folder rather than the whole folder structure, when needed Server price... very expensive Review Source JW Jonathan W. IS Consultant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Receive prompt response when ordering and with tech support" October 31, 2017 5.0 Pros Lots of options, but simple to use if you want to be minimalist. However, lots of options to address various scenarios. We use the WebDav connectivity feature which is great for Cloud storage connectivity. Cons Bug fixes (Version Updates) seem to come haphazardly on no real set schedule. Would like to be notified of the the updates, instead of finding them available when I log in to check the sync processes. Review Source WM Wendy M. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Renewal process is a pain. " January 22, 2018 4.0 Pros Now that we finally got it working, it is fine! It really does a good job now!

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Web & Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Sync software that does what I need it to do" February 13, 2019 5.0 I’ve been pleased with things! Pros I love that I can set up sync jobs and the system can analyze file changes in my computer compared to whatever storage device I’m using and mirror copy those reliably. I needed not so much a backup software that takes large snapshots of files but more of a progressive sync or backup for my computer files. This helps to make it worry free and make sure my critical files are backed up. I love that I can select which folders to sync and whether it’s one or two directional. Cons The ui could maybe use a facelift but works great. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Editor Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoodSync simply works!" December 11, 2018 5.0 It's easy to backup and duplicate drives with GoodSync. It works over a network to almost any kind of drive, on older versions of MacOS and newer. Very Flexible! Pros It's simple, to the point and just plain works well. I've used this to copy many TBs of data from and to many complicated drive situations, always without fail. It's fast, lightweight, snappy, and efficient. MD5 checks are key and this software does it. I've never had an issue with a project critical drive copying with this. Cons Honestly I don't have any issues. It works as advertised and is very simple to us.
