Cons Katastrophe!!! Statt Synchronisation wurde 15 GB (GigaByte!!!) von der Quelle unwiederbringlich gelöscht. Wertvolle historische Dateien.

Leiter IT Systeme Wholesale ### "Solide Synchronisationslösung mit Abstrichen" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 February 3, 2025 Die Erfahrung mit Goodsync war leider etwas sperrig und wenig eingängig. Der Support antwortete immer sehr zügig, konnte das Grundproblem aber leider nicht lösen. Pros Viele Synchronisationsmöglichkeiten, wir haben es uns speziell für die Synchronisation von lokalen Fileshares Richtung Sharepoint angesehen. Cons Die Oberfläche ist leider sehr unübersichtlich und wenig eingängig. Der Support reagiert jedoch schnell. Leider war es uns nicht möglich eine stabile Synchronisation zwischen lokalem Fileshare und Sharepoint einzurichten. Die Synchronisation entdeckte immer wieder Dateien die nicht verändert wurden.

President Computer Networking ### "Excellent Product - working well for me for near-line server replication" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 14, 2025 The product seems to just work. There are indeed dozens of options to sift through, but all in all, I find the experience to be fully worth it. The company has answered my feature questions promptly. Pros Full-featured for what it is. Comprehensive list of replication options. I'm using it to replicate data from a production Windows server to another Windows server on the same LAN (near-line storage). Automatically uses VSS to great effect, effortlessly copying locked files. All changes/deletions are synced with seconds to minutes (rarely when there are very large files, over 1 GB), which is totally acceptable to me. It was easy enough for me to install, and I scheduled a session to fine-tune it with a support rep, which went very well indeed. I now get regular emails about errors, the vast majority of which can be disregarded, but I do want to see these anyway (files existing for just a short time that were not synced etc.). Cons There is no lower renewal cost, far as I can tell - you pay full price at each renewal. Some others have complained about support, but I've had no issues getting a response when needed, which has been seldom.

RB Ron B. Mamaging Consultant Information Technology and Services ### "Ok product, but conservative product development and annoying customer service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 December 9, 2024 They try to put you in their ticket system and then provide you with standard answers sending you off. Pros Easy to use, although it can take long time to go through the full list of files on your system. Cons Arrogant customer support. Providing "putt-off" answers to get rid of your Q's. Not listening to suggestions for improvement and treating you like you are a no-no. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Technical Manager Printing ### "Use ever day to move files from FTP to local servers" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 13, 2023 Pros Real-Time Sync: GoodSync offers real-time synchronization, ensuring that changes made to files are promptly reflected in the destination location. Cons Lack of Collaboration Features: GoodSync primarily focuses on file synchronization and backup for individual users or small businesses. It may not have the same level of collaboration features as some other cloud storage and synchronization solutions.

President Computer Hardware ### "Goodsync for file backup to Synology" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 28, 2023 Excellent, I have been using for 5+ years since I started using a Synology file server Pros easy to use, works reliably, reasonably fast, file transfer server integrates with synology operating system Cons error messages can be confusing when file sync is not successfulsync can be slow for large folders with few changes Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

AU Anonymous User Responsabile IT Consumer Services ### "Ottimo ma con dei problemi" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 24, 2023 E' stato preso questo prodotto per il Nas WD essendo programma compatibile.Dopo la configurazione non intuitiva, il programma sincronizza i dati di diversi pc e salva tutto sul NAS ma, se nasce dei conflitti, non esiste un report o un assistenza che ti possa aiutare a risolvere il problema Pros Dopo essere riusciti a configurare il prodotto sono ottime le funzioni di pianificazione e gestione dei file. Occupa poca banda e non crea errori nemmeno per outlook Cons La licenza privata permette massimo 4 sincronizzazioni contemporaneamente. Il problema principale è che il software non segnala quali sono le 4 sincronizzazioni e quindi rimane bloccato in errore.L'assistenza non riesce ad aiutarti.

Personal use Real Estate ### "Bait and switch" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 13, 2023 Not great. I purchased a perpetual license. They stopped supporting it, took the older version off their website and want me to purchase a new "perpetual license" for $300. I'm pretty sure they don't understand the concept of "perpetual license". Pros It does the job it advertises, but support isn't great. This company clearly doesn't understand what a "perpetual license" is. Cons My conversation with support. Me: I have a license for GoodSync2Go V9, but can't find the download file on your website. Can you please direct me on where to find it?Support: Hello, Thank you for being a loyal customer and for contacting GoodSync Support. GoodSync v9 is discontinued long time ago and not supported anymore. GoodSync v9 is no longer available for download. GoodSync is no longer offering perpetual licenses. We have moved to an annual subscription-based model. Me: Does the basic GoodSync subscription include GoodSync2Go? That's the part that I really need. Your site said the 2Go version was over $200!Support: Thank you for your message. No, GoodSync2Go v12 requires a separate Goodsync2Go v11 license - perpetual license that costs $299.00, non-refundable, no discounts.Me: Then why doesn't my previous GoodSync2Go license carry over? I was an early adopter, now you discontinued my version and are charging $299 for what I already purchasedSupport: GoodSync v9 is discontinued long time ago and not supported anymore. GoodSync v9 is no longer available for download.Me: I understand that, but why would I pay you $299 for software just so you can discontinue v11 some time in the future, and we have to have this discussion again. Anyone who purchased a perpetual license in the past, should still have a license now. It wouldn't be very smart for me to buy it not knowing if you'll honor support and updates in the future Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Educator Education Management ### "Free Trial Isn't Worth It" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 December 22, 2022 Pros The idea behind it is really good, especially for freeing up space on a laptop. Cons The free trial isn't worth it if you're looking to free up space on your device. It erases a tiny amount, then wants to you pay a whole lot of money to erase the other stuff the program finds.

Ceo Computer Hardware ### "Wonderfull software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 4, 2022 Pros The software provides dozens of possibilities to perform backups and various features for synchronizing folders and files both from local computer to cloud and to server. Cons In my opinion, the price of the license for one year of service and above all the cost of the storage space on their servers is excessive compared to the competition.
