    7-Zip is free of charge and meets all our needs in handling compressed files, both those produced by us and those that come from third parties.
    The interface is the faster I've ever seen.
    The competitor evaluation versions have ads or a lot of reminders that I've to pay now or then.

    This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.
