Overall Satisfaction with WinZip

WinZip is necessary for safely sharing and compressing data around our company. It makes files smaller for quicker transfers and easy storage. A layer of data safety is added by the encryption feature, particularly for sensitive documents. It is dependable, easy to use, and facilitates smooth interaction with email and cloud services.

Pros

  • File Compression
  • Compatibility
  • Ease of use

Cons

  • splitting compressed files
  • fixing damaged zipped files
  • Efficiency
  • Helped close deals
  • Helped in reporting as we use excel heavily so we were able to compress files
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
Compared to WinRAR, WinZip has an easier-to-use interface and better cloud service integration. We selected WinZip because of its user-friendliness, robust encryption choices, and smooth sharing features, which better suit our team's workflow requirements, even if WinRAR is excellent for more experienced users and supports more formats, I think that's the most straightfoward explanation I can come up with

WinZip is ideal for emailing large reports wether to clients or colleagues. Archiving project files, and securely sharing sensitive documents with clients. It works well for reducing storage needs. However, it's less useful when collaborating in real-time or managing cloud-native documents, where tools like Google Drive or SharePoint are more efficient and accessible

Using WinZip

5 - It helps us archive important files, specially large ones and make the file size smaller, so that when we upload it to the cloud, it does not consume too much space as we deal with a lot of file all the time.

Also it helps us secure files whenever we zip them instead of just files being open as our company is very adamant about securing data and files
1 - It actually does not need a lot of support because its really straight forward to use, usually I am the one that people turn to in case they need some help with other features but this is not too often as the product is already a very well known file manager
  • Archiving
  • Protecting files
  • Reliable backup
  • App portability
  • Using watermarking features for PDFs
  • Encrpting data using aes 256
  • File conversion
  • In house system integration
  • Other tools integration
Because it is very easy to use, also have been using the product for ages not only within the company but personally, it's just very convenient to have in any system, it does not slow down my computer, it only takes a few minutes to set up and it's just compatible with almost any system
