Considered Both Products	WinZip Verified User C-Level Executive Chose WinZip Much better, WinRAR is just too singular and not a rich tool like WinZip. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose WinZip WinZip is More comprehensive and is easier to use and install. Also, it has a more robust update cycle for the product making sure to have the latest security fixes. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose WinZip WinZip is far superior to any competitor we have used. Incentivized Helpful? SF Suren Fonseka IT Manager Chose WinZip The user interface that WinZip provides is preferred to the competing options. Incentivized Helpful? Gil Parrish Founder & CEO Chose WinZip As stated earlier, WinZip is the industry standard. More clients are like ly to have WinZip tools already available to them than other compression softwares Incentivized Helpful? Richard Reilly - Fluid Graphic Designer / Illustrator Chose WinZip WinZip has been in my arsenal since the beginning and hasn't given me a reason to go elsewhere. The functions and features have always been there when I needed them. Incentivized Helpful? DB Derek Beutler Attorney Chose WinZip 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose WinZip Global brand Cost effective Simple to use Incentivized Helpful? Michael Schmidlen President/Owner/Founder Chose WinZip WinZip has consistently proven to be the most fully-functioned solution on the market and has become our de-facto standard. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose WinZip Winrar and 7-zip are both unlisted in the TrustRadius drop-down list so I will discuss those here. Winrar is another competitor to WinZip and also works as freeware, allowing you to create multi-part password-protected archives in different compressed formats, all while only … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Alludo 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.

Pros	Alludo 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.

Cons	Alludo 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Alludo We have been using it for 2 years and will renew because there isn't anything better. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Alludo Easy to install, easy to use not training required Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Alludo 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Alludo Reduced number of unnecessary applications or freeware/bloatware needed to decompress files such as rar or tgz 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
