"Zend Guard Experience "

What do you like best about Zend Guard?

++ Zend Guard have some of the features that can be a hardcode for your application to avoid customization or some one might change them to reverse engineering that might backfires in you or find vulnerabilities or the creations in them.

++ Enable the set up of licenses across your products that be uses across your desired products that you release ( virtual or on the cloud), or if you upload them into easy to hack pages would avoid any further actions on the already created content, or hack on the applications for free usage of sort.

What do you dislike about Zend Guard?

++it's does demand a high learning curve on the process of the set up of the applications on php encoding, and while creating licensing policies might be a little problematic.

++ Is for an specific public aimed, this making it a little single use, however I am sure that a software development company would be able to protect their intelectual property and copyright protection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zend Guard:

I would only suggest this application for people with new applications that would be protecting their investment since some reverse engineering would affect the creation of a whole team, with my personal experience this would be more that awesome if its a game (this is my experience) would avoid the plagiarism of some of the assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Guard solving and how is that benefiting you?

++Protections of coding created by developers.

++Creation of crafted licenses for production distribution

++Would work for both big and small businesses that for is the right track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
