WinZip Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Reviews & Insights

I use WinZip for Data compression for very large files required between audit business units. The files are carrying substantiative information to assist with finalising the prescribed government audit processes.

We use WinZip in our corporate environment to help compress and encrypt large files for easier deployment and transfer. WinZip makes SW deployment much easier for our team to manage. This helps drastically in our Device Break/Fix processes where users need to be addressed quickly and efficiently, to be back up and running as soon as possible.

Works great for sending files back and forth through email. Also works great with SW distribution/deployment.

WinZip is the standard in my book for condensing and uncompressing large files. We use WinZip almos daily to compress large files before sending to clients and colleagues. Because WinZip is an industray standard, most all clients are familiar with the software and already have it installed.

WinZip is best suited for the compression of files for transmission via email and web downloads. "Zip" files are an industry standard.

We utilize WinZip to compress documents and provide password protection when emailing files to clients. Often, we have to send large files that house confidential information, and they are larger than 25 megs, so most email providers won't allow these files to be sent. With WinZip, those files can be encrypted and compressed, thereby safely securing the files and reducing their overall file size.

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.
