Overall Satisfaction with WinZip
We utilize WinZip to handle the compression and extraction from a wide variety of compressed file formats (rar, tar, tgz, zip, etc.). The ability to utilize a central platform to handle all of the different extension types and formats has made it much easier on us when it comes to accepting compressed file/folder formats. Plus the ability to navigate said files prior to unzipping has been extremely helpful. We also, occassionally, utilize the image tool for certain use cases.
- Handles a full gamut of compressed file formats
- Easily allows users to navigate file prior to unzipping
- Provides detailed debug information when zip files are corrupted
- Provides detailed information on any paths that exceed the 255 character max in Windows environments
- Occasionally slow to start, but once loaded no issue
- Periodic updates can remove the license/entitlement and force end user to contact support for a new activation card
- Add ability to annotate PDF's without utilizing Adobe or another software
- 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
