Review by Baivab Mitra

I am writing this review after 8 months of usage. This is a very stable product and has subtle improvements over the previous versions. In some of the earlier editions our organization started facing complaints about stability and higher than usual memory utilization. These issues seem to have been properly addressed in this edition. The new look interface is more in line to the overall direction MS is taking across its own products so it’ll fit well with any future MS product releases. The ZIPX format internally has better standardization than the native zip format so in future there will be guaranteed better support and 3rd. party applications and plug-ins (I believe). Some features like email of zips are great and my associates have all got back to me stating it’s a God-send to have. Encryption algorithms (based on some tech documents I’ve read) seem to have been strengthened and overall taking some random tests I’ve found zipx compressing at least 20 % better than native zip. Recommend the product: Yes. Use the product: Yes.
