If you want to Zip file and share to someone then this is the perfect software. The best feature in this software is the dialog box that it prompts after compressing the file i.e., before and after compressing the file size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinZip is a classic tool for archiving and unarchiving your files in the ZIP format. Starting in the 1990ies from the basic functionality of archiver, it eventually upgraded in the 2000-2010ies to multitool which combines functions like AES archive encryption, basic system backups, archive uploading on your FTP or cloud services like OneDrive or Google Drive, direct compact disc or burning, integration with system and external systems. At the moment it supports not only ZIP files but also other popular archive formats like RAR, 7Z, etc. It works pretty stably while you work in a typical environment.

WinZip is not a very modern solution. It contains many legacy functions, which are nor actual nor common nowadays. Also WinZip does not support modern archive types like RAR5. For some of archive types, like 7Z or RAR, it supports unarchiving, but does not support archiving in these types. Some features like creating self-extracted archive are moved from WinZip to another products, which causes the need to pay for tool one more time. Some features like system context menu are still implemented not very well. Archiving and unarchiving speeds are not reliable comparing to its main competitors like WinRAR or 7Z. Memory consumption is also too high for this kind of product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't get WinZip to deal with my problems. They do not respond to my emails. The utilities did not install properly. I have the registration numbers, but nothing works as it should. If I could, I would want my $100 plus back! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service... installation failing... advertisements showing all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software looks promising. Too bad it did not work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The activation key does not work and customer service is ridiculously bad. Tried calling "24/7" support and only got unrelated automated sales offers followed by "robot Emma" who asked for my problem and the company name [?!?!] and then said id did not recognize that company [Winzip, Corel, Cleverbridge] no matter what I said. Now Email customer service is refusing to refund my money even though they boasted a no-questions money-back guarantee. I'm DONE. I haven't time for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
