  10. Is Resilio Sync still being actively developed?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I've always been an advocate of Resilio and have been using the software productively since BTsync v1.4.111. That was the first really good version of BTsync / Resilio. So I've been an active user of Resilio for years. I have also some licenses.

    More since of interest and playing around, I started experimenting with Syncthing years ago, as this software is also available for a wide variety of platforms. I quickly saw that each software has advantages and disadvantages over the other. Both are good in principle.

    Resilio is peer-oriented, Syncthing is device-oriented. This primarily gives an indication of how flexible the respective packages are when it comes to file sharing. With Resilio it is more easy to share a peer, with Syncthing it is always also the device, which is a bit more cumbersome, but the result is the same in the end.

    More and more through circumstances, but also through this strange behavior of Resilio, which has been foreseeable for some time, I have come further and further in the direction of Syncthing and since a few months now I have been using Syncthing productively everywhere. Resilio is still running on my Synology servers, but without data exchange.

    I would therefore advise you to experiment with Syncthing and make tests in your environment parallel to Resilio, then you can see for yourself how it works.

    I don't think that's a good portrayal. There has been a significant decrease in activities from Resilio side on Home and Pro since today. In my opinion, they are primarily working on Connect and thus neglecting the pro license customers.

    It is true that update cycles are not the measure of all things, but regular updates at short intervals are better than what Resilio does and then only solves half of it. There are some known bugs that are clearly reported here. The Android APP, still version 2.6.4, is also coming more and more into focus due to the progress in the field of Android development.

    Don't get me wrong. Resilio is still an excellent software, but it is getting more and more on the defensive against its competition, especially Syncthing. And that's exactly what shouldn't have been. Resilio is still strong in features, but technically speaking, Syncthing has already left Resilio behind. And the recipe is simple. Close exchange with the community and constantly optimizing, a final every four weeks, etc., Syncthing goes better and better. You don't believe how many users are already there from here, precisely because movement and seriousness can be seen. Because the users notice that someone is taking care of the problems.

    In return, how often can I read here in the last few weeks and months that even the support of Resilio is no longer answering. I think that's poor, especially towards the well-meaning license buyers, I also have several licenses.

    Well, what do you think I am mainly using today?
