WinZip: Easy to Use, Great for Sending Log Files, Encrypting PHI, and Small Backups or Archives
- It takes extremely large files and makes them small enough to send via email.
- The encryption allows the projects to send PHI data and stay in HIPPA compliance.
- It is easy to use so no training is required for users.
- 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.

Good compression program that is one of the easiest to use
- 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.
- One area of improvement is with regards to pricing and the mass market. Since there is no free options for the software (as compared to some other compression programs), this may be a disadvantage to many organizations that are looking for a low/no-cost solution.
- Another area of improvement can be to its ability to create the smallest file sizes, as compared to what some other compression programs can do. It is not the top contender in this case, but improvements can be made in the future.
