Here is a message from Hedgehog:
Compare & Merge Sitecore Databases at High Speed with Razl 4.0

The latest version of Razl stays true to its core function: it allows developers to have a complete side by side comparison between two Sitecore databases. Helping our users get their work done faster is always our goal, so we’ve added performance improvements and streamlined workflow including:

  • Multi-threaded copy offers a huge time savings in moving items between servers.
  • Custom field specific editor controls for editing/comparing multi-list fields, link fields, and Presentation Details.
  • Toolbar search function allows developers to use the internal Sitecore search to find items, searching both servers simultaneously and displaying the result in the Deep Compare area.
  • Improved multi-selection of items makes the tool much easier to use and improves the experience with Deep Compare.
  1. No purchase necessary.
  2. Must 21 years or older at time of entry.
  3. Additional terms, conditions and restrictions apply.
