Having been in the market for new products for over a year now, I can tell you that I've not yet found an application that was truly perfect for me. You could say that a lot of them fell into one of two categories: products that seemed to work really well on my system, but didn't get installed at all or applications that I knew I needed, but that didn't seem to exist on the Internet. One of the things that I realized when it came to WinZip is that it's great for sharing and organizing things, but not really suited for running a lot of programs. While it may not be necessary to run more than one program at a time, I am using it because I like to use it to share and organize files with others, so having to know which program I need to put up my files before I've even started typing them in makes it really tough to share with others. So for the most part, I use a file manager application to begin my job, then my WinZip application to maintain and share that file.
In my experience, it seems that the best way to get a product that is the absolute best in every category is to go ahead and buy a personal license, instead of trying to download and use a free version. While I do have plenty of free time, I am not in the business of selling services or programs. In addition, I can't use a free program because I simply don't have the time. For the most part, I want to get as much out of a product as possible, so I look for free versions because they are usually able to offer me quite a bit more functionality than what I pay for. This leads me to believe that the most accurate description of the best way to compare any two products I see is by looking at how much I can get out of the program without actually spending anything.
Regardless of the application I'm using, I always like to ensure that I have the proper version. Since I don't normally take the time to try out new programs, I have little reason to go through the trouble of downloading and figuring out which version to buy. In fact, one of the things that got me involved in writing this article was my inability to find the application I needed on the Internet. Fortunately, as I was searching for information online, I found several applications that would make a good choice for anyone who likes to share and organize files, and which has just the features I need for everyday use.
