What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

a PC tool that is useful in addition to anti-virus software, but like all similar programs to maintain the health of a PC, it is only as good as the vendor keeps on top of the updates. It cleans up junk files, traces of internet tracking, driver updates, and registry issues. as with any software of this type, you must install the latest update before running it the first time as you know the CD in the package is probably out of date. Doing this, I have had no problems except with Intel HD graphics and WiDi drivers where there were newer drivers that WinZip hadn't caught yet. Amazon had a great price on a three user (or 3 PC) version. Remember, this is a service you have to renew annually, so this is the most economical way of doing so. Recommended.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

I seem to have one issue with my computer shutting down when I watch videos. Otheutility software did not seem to solve the problem at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful tool to handle all of your explorer needs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

The sheer number of file types that WinZip can handle is incredible. Most everything that you face will be able to be compressed or handled with WinZip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

To unzip simple .ZIP files, you must open up WinZip before unzipping. With Windows' native unzipper, the option is included right in the right-click menu . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Business Software"
3/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

WinZip is extremely easy to use and well-integrated with Windows. It's easy to create and share zip files and allows access to advanced processing options not offered by Windows built-in zip features, such as AES encryption, text encoding, self extraction, multi-part files, and social/cloud integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

WinZip does not ship with command line utilities by default, and the normal zip file format still allows viewing the file names and folder structure of encrypted data. This is a weakness of zip files, although WinZip also provides the ZipX format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is a good tool but for most users it is not needed"
3.5/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

It is an easy to use tool to extract and compress data files. In fact it was my go-to tool several years ago but nowadays the tools built into Windows work for most of my needs. The UI is easy to use and figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

Again it works well and has nice features, but overall it is not overly needed. Most users are able to use the tools in Windows and for development we use different tools. It nice that it works with password protected zip files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"program suitable for those with limited computer skills"
2.5/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

The program is small in size, has a clean interface, works efficiently in the background, fairly straightforward to use, has a fairly inexpensive yearly fee, has many useful features such as disk cleaner and optimizer, and backup & recovery functions and maintenance scheduler. Most of these features are similar to Norton utilities suite. I downloaded this on my computer and I use it occassionally to keep my system in good shape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

Most of the features are already included into Windows 10 for those computer savvy and don't want to spend the money. You can usually use msconfig to remove a lot of startup programs to make your computer run more efficiently. Also the yearly subscription model isn't great if you just want to own the product since you have to pay every year or else certain functions (such as the driver updater) will no longer work.

"More issues than solutions"
1.5/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

It has a lot of different computer solutions (clearing space, scanning, etc.) all in one package. Instead of installing a variety of software, you can simply use this one for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

The Suite took up so much CPU while running, and increased the initial bootup of the computers by quite a bit. Error and recovery scans were not always helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-use Unzip Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

No bells and whistles, just focused purely on getting the job done. Simple and basic UI not overcrowded by unnecessary features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinZip System Utilities Suite?

Although the UI is basic and easy to use it is not very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, making it feel as if the program is still running soley in the realm of 10 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
