East-tec SafeBit is an on-the-fly disk encryption software designed to protect confidential data by creating secure, password-protected virtual drives. These encrypted "safes" appear and function just like regular drives in Windows, allowing you to work with files normally while ensuring they remain completely secure.

The standard suite will work for most users, but you have to upgrade to the pro suite or the unlimited suite in order to get the cloud sharing for multiple accounts. So, if you are looking at just sending documents from one user to another user, the standard version will work, but if you are trying to use it as a calibration software, you will need to upgrade all users to the more expensive version to unlock those features.

  • As was previously mentioned one of the greatest strengths of the program is the versatility of using across multiple platforms or being able to open the corresponding zip files on multiple platforms without having to install additional software.
  • Another strength it has in the the graphical user interface (GUI). It is, and always has been, one of the better ones in the industry, as compared to other compression software.

  • When the dashboard comes up, it is not always intuitive as to the location of where files are going when unzipping; you have to click on the file to have the dialog come up.
  • Password-protection usage is complex.
  • Fewer icons as the number of them can be confusing.

Its very easy to use! Not a lot of complicated mumbo jumbo, you can easily teach anyone how to use it. It's overall usability is high because nowadays, beside using the cloud, having a backup locally stored is also good and when backing up really large files, this can help save up space by being able to compress the files

Listen, nobody can get a perfect 10 (just ask your boss at review time, you can't say you are a 10 because then you'd have nothing to strive for!). WinZip's Support team knows their product, which is a fantastic thing to hear, unlike when you call giant companies (Microsoft, Vipre, and Norton) and their turnaround in their support center is so disgusting that their Support team only knows how to read off of a script

7Zip is a freeware file compression software that does a lot of the same core functions as WinZip but lacks the cloud functions of WinZip. If you need to share extremely large encrypted zip files and don't mind paying, WinZip is a very powerful software and will get the job done.

  • Allows for easy securing of files and encryption for sensitive/confidential data
  • Easily saves 1-2 man hours of work every few months searching for a tool to decompress a deprecated file format
