| · | User friendly - VSSConverter is a command line tool with XML configuration files. CS-Converter includes an intuitive GUI that allows easy configuration. Additionally, the progress and status of the conversion are available at any point.
|
| · | Username mapping - VSSConverter requires you to specify the VSS-to-TFS user mapping in an XML file. CS-Converter displays all VSS and TFS user names and allows you to graphically assign the mapping.
|
| · | Conversion integrity - VSSConverter doesn't support conversion verification. CS-Converter verifies the conversion results and suggests fixes whenever the converted file doesn't match the origin file.
|
| · | Changesets timestamp - VSSConverter creates the TFS changesets with the current date. CS-Converter supports creation of TFS changesets with the original check-in date.
|
| · | Pinned revisions support - In VSS, revisions checked-in after a "pinned" revision are usually unstable revisions. VSSConverter converts these revisions as normal revisions. CS-Converter enables you to create a new branch for these revisions. (You can merge the branch to the trunk anytime.)
|
| · | Shared files support - VSSConverter duplicates VSS-shared files in the TFS repository, i.e., changes performed to one converted file don't affect the duplicated files. CS-Converter allows you to retain VSS-shared files relations and automatically replicates changes performed on one file to all shared files.
|
| · | Analyze the converted project and verify the conversion results.
|
| · | Fix conversion errors and revision timestamps.
|
| · | Scan your VSS repository for shared files and use the TFSLinks service to automatically replicate changes performed on one file to all shared files.
