Which of these two iTunes third party alternatives is better? Both seem really good, but I want to know who is using what in 2018. What made you ultimately choose one over the other?
We cannot guarantee the security of any information on your phone if you use 3rd party software not officially supported by Apple.
Since you appear to know a good deal about them, why don't you tell us which one "you" think is better?Thanks for your response and concern. Both of these two are well recognized alternatives, that even have a trial and paid version, as well as customer support.

The purpose of this thread is get the input of people who've actually used either one of those two. Despite their good reviews, recognition and all, I have yet to actually personally use them myself. The latter is the reason why I even made the thread in the first place.
You stated, “Both of these two are well recognized alternatives, that even have a trial and paid version, as well as customer support.” That respond led me to believe you are familiar with them.
With that being said, you are absolutely correct about the purpose of this thread.
Having said that, neither of the above are widely used by the iMore community if I were base it on what I’ve seen in the forums over the years. As a mod, I can tell you that “my” involvement with those products have been in the form of SPAM.
Both could be the best products on the planet, but those who SPAM sites like this with them causes users to be leery of even trying them.
Anyway, hopefully regular members who have used either will reply soon. Take care.
I am not familiar with either of those apps and truth be told, I wouldn’t use it either.
I don’t trust any third party apps to synchronize or edit my iDevices with.
I am using AnyTrans for over 2 years now and can't criticize one single thing. Works like a charm and is very reliable. Great design, does its job and I find the user friendliness to be amazing.
I even recommended it to 3 family members who are very thankful so far! One of them is over 40 years of age and is not so technophilic - still gets along greatly with AnyTrans.
Haven't had contact with the customer support because I had no problems until now, so I can't tell you anything about that.
As for iMazing I only heard good things about it as well, but since I have never used it on my own, I have no experiences I can share with you.
Generally speaking, I believe you won't have problems with either of these two.
I can understand where you're coming from, but not all alternative applications are dangerous. Research and asking around for tips, advice, and reviews helps to eliminate such concerns.
