Right-clicking and choosing from a large context-sensitive menu is the preferred way to interact with many elements. If you double-click on a job, for example, it doesn't open up for you to modify it. I'm nit-picking but a challenge has been that it uses a UI language that isn't quite Windows-native. It was a pain to modify all the 20 profiles using this cloud account but then I found from support that an updated to the profile simplified this. Recently someone changed the admin password for the account we were using to keep everything in sync. We can connect through the Microsoft API and SyncBack handles the throttling very well. (I see that we can use so many other cloud targets as well.) I really was surprised at how maturely it's integrated.
We've lately been able to use it to move from using a Windows file server as target to using SharePoint. We can set schedules as frequent as needed.
That it's a GUI also means we can place this in an end-user's hands and with little training they can monitor it. We've used it for keeping two folders in sync, for backups, and many other file server-related activities. You can use XCOPY and a ton of other tools but this is nice because there's good integrated logging. It copies permissions which not all tools do. We've used it for migrating very large file servers where we've been able to stage our initial migration then do small incrementals to get the latest versions of some files. Lots of file management in a Windows environment: from server to server for migrations or general sync, from desktop to USB drive, etc.
