ACT is interesting to highlight similar and different regions between genomes. Also, it depend on what you are looking for and what are the data you are working on For whole genome comparison, I would recommend MUMmer and Mauve. mVista is also an option for pairwise genome comparison.

Also try EDGAR for whole genome comparisons.
