I searched the old threads, and had to go back a long way to find anything on sync-ing... so I thought I'd start fresh

I've been using iTunes to sync. to my Classic Outlook calendar & Contacts via a USB connection since I had an iPhone 3s,
but Apple is moving away from iTunes and sync. is no longer supported.
The replacement for iTunes - Apple Devices does not support sync. as far as I can tell.

From a scan of 3rd party s/w it seems there are two options for local/usb sync:

CompanionLink & AkrutoSync

CompanionLink syncs to an app that has to be installed - DejaOffice and then from there contacts and calendar can be further sync-ed to the native Apple apps.

AkrutoSync - syncs using a (I'll call it) a dummy Exchange server style connection. All contacts on the iPhone have to be blown away during setup.
This is a bit of an issue for me as my contacts are currently out of sync.

I know @Diane Poremsky (at least was) more fond of CompanionLink and they are an advertiser here on Slipstick.
Are there any other programs I should consider?
Any reason to NOT go with CompanionLink?

Thanks,
Jim
 
You definitely can only use usb? If so, those are the options. Both should have trials. It's been while since I used akruto so I forget what all it does and can't say offhand if it's better than companionlink .

If you can sync over the Internet, gsyncit syncs to iCloud (google, yahoo and more).

Thank you very much @Diane Poremsky

I travel quite a bit in the 3rd world where internet speeds are 3-5 Mb and besides being painfully slow ... are unreliable.
I'll give companionlink a go and see if it works! If not I'll try Akruto if not.

I'll report back with the results!
I really really appreciate you!

Jim
