Is Two-way synchronisation better than One-way synchronisation?
Davton offer both one way and two way synchronisation tools. There
are benefits with both methods, but Davton work on the premise ' Keep it
Simple'. On that basis we recommend using One-way synchronisation unless
you have a specific requirement for Two-way synchronisation. One-way synchronisation
- There is a clear 'Master' folder where
information is stored and managed.
- Only users with access to the master folder can change
information.
- Simple to set up and understand
- Easier to manage
- Ideal for large implementations where many users require a copy
of central information
Two-way synchronisation
- Any user can update and change information
- Information can be kept up to date by users
- There is no 'Master' folder - all folders (and
users) are equal.
- There is a greater possibility that information may get changed
or overwritten by mistake.
- Set up needs to be carefully planned
