Xceed Zip Compression Library: ComponentSource Best Seller of the Millenium in 2001

Xceed Zip Compression Library was voted a ComponentSource Best Seller of the Millenium in 2001!

Here’s what some of our customers have to say about Xceed Zip Compression Library!

"Your product works exactly as expected. We've been using the Xceed Zip Compression Library in one of our applications for close to 10 years and are very happy with it."

    - David Scofield, Systems Engineer, Galileo International (Englewood, Colorado, United States)

"I was very impressed with the simplicity, ease of use and overall quality of the Zip and Encryption Libraries. We used the Encryption Library as a replacement for Microsoft's native cryptography library (advapi32.dll), and I was extremely impressed with the results. Using the included samples as guides, I was able to successfully implement both products inside of an extremely tight deadline. Congratulations to your development team; both of these products are outstanding."

    - Nathan Suver, Senior Programmer, White Oak Systems (Wallingford, Connecticut, United States)

"Innovators develops software for sale on the Internet. One of our programs uses a combination of Xceed's compression component along with components from one of Xceed's competitors. Our application was in need of a rewrite so we proceeded to the component market once again to find the best of the best for our needs. Without a doubt in our minds, we picked Xceed. And, this time we have chosen Xceed components for all of our needs on this application. Their software is at the leading edge of the available technology and their pricing is outstanding. We are most pleased with our choice."

    - Bob Shelton, Innovators.com, Inc. (Atlanta, GA, United States)

"Having used Xceed Compression Library for a previous firm and being blown away by the feature rich, tightly coded, bug free components I had no doubts at all when purchasing the new Xceed Software for my own company. The Xceed Compression Library 5 now acts as a key integral part of our software suite. Keep up the great work!"

    - Justin Heasman, Millennium Business Solutions / Really Simple Software (Cornwall, United Kingdom)

"We've been using Xceed ZIP for some time now, originally for an Archiving Utility, but now for various other utilities. It has met all our requirements! I've found it easy to use, and the help contains good examples, which is pretty rare to find these days."

    - Robert Copeland, Talgentra Ltd (Auckland, New Zealand)

"The Xceed Zip Compression software definitely meets our requirements. It produces good compression ratios and integrates nicely with Web applications we use."

    - Philip Robinson, Cornell University, Cornell Information Technologies (Ithaca, New York, United States)

"I use Xceed Zip Compression 4.0/5.0 for my Web, VB and Delphi projects. I love this component and it does save me lots of unnecessary hassles. On top of the high quality components that Xceed provides, I also had chances to work with their technical support team. They are extremely nice people with solid knowledge and they were able to answer all of my questions. I believe that's one of Xceed's strongest selling point besides the software itself and I'm confident that I will continue to count on Xceed's team for my future needs."

    - Michael Wu, CSC @ BHP Billiton (Houston, Texas, United States)

"I integrated your FTP and Zip components into an important project. It was a breeze! I am totally impressed of the quality and the performance, and the documentation is outstanding. You really saved my deadline! Thank you very much! Everything was a very positive experience - from the first visit to your website, then to the order process and finally to the products."

    - Klaus Strele (Zurich, Switzerland)

"Our program has been running for something like four years without any problems, delivering 4k packets of compressed information to up to 100 users at a time using Xceed Zip Compression Library and uncompressing them for display in .25 of a second! In all that time we have not had one data error thanks to your superb compression software - and of course my superb use of it!"

    - Barry Harkcom, I.T.Consultant, Jones Lang LaSalle (United Kingdom)

"We have successfully implemented your decompression software and it is working flawlessly and was very easy to understand due to the good documentation. Thank you for an excellent product."

    - Jim Postilion, Advanced Relational Software (Arlington Heights, Illinois, United States)

"From my review of tools on the market it is the most comprehensive tool available. I do not have a need at this time that it cannot accomplish."

    - Cliff Green (Charlotte, North Carolina, United States)

"Xceed Zip was extremely easy to implement into my existing application. Its methods and events are straight forward and well designed. I had a simple project for using xceed zip and the project was quickly completed, therefore I have not used it enough to see need for improvement because it worked so well in its current state."

    - Joseph Caudill, Revenue Technology Inc. (Birmingham, Alabama, United States)

"Our product is an estimating system. Xceed Zip Compression Library has made it much easier for our customers to selectively back up and restore estimates, not only for archive, but to use on their home notebook, and office computers. If there is a problem with an estimate or database, Xceed makes it easy for a customer to back up the estimate or database and email it to us for tech support purposes. We have about 3000 users and few problems have been reported."

    - Jean Barnett, SDSI Business Systems (Temecula, California, United States)

"I am delighted -- 4.0 is a tremendous improvement. 3.5 was good, and did 99% of what I needed, but 4.0 is full of advantages. Just having the fully integrated help is a great relief, and has saved a lot of time (I had not used 3.5 very extensively yet). The compact size also carries numerous hidden benefits. For example, I have recently built a "file listing" utility based on your handling of wildcard inclusion and exclusion, and 4.0 does nearly all the work (even though this app doesn't even do any compression!). The low overhead and improved performance are what makes it feasible to use 4.0 as a real library -- not exclusively a zip facility. Overall I am very pleased."

    - Allen Cobb (Incline Village, Nevada, United States)

"I appreciate it for being simple, straightforward, and for working as sold/documented."

    - Dale Warner (Duncanville, Texas, United States)

"Love the product. Easy to use, very flexible & powerful, consistent and great support. Have recommended this product to many programmers."

    - Moez Mohamed (Sugar Land, Texas, United States)

"Simple to use. Had it up and in our product in 10 minutes!"

    - Maurice Fisher (San Jose, California, United States)

"Good stuff, well thought out, and very responsive to common programmer tasks. A lot of times, with new controls and libraries, you get the feeling a marketing or sales department said, 'We need to develop a library that does X', and the programming staff responds. Result: A library that does X, but isn't any more useful than 10 other similar libraries on the market. Here, Xceed programmers seem to have raised the bar, and said, 'Now, if I were writing programs that needed a library that did X, what sort of functions would I want that library to do for me?' That's certainly the approach they took with Xceed Zip: Simple, straight forward power. A new standard."

    - Rick Ireland, EDI Healthclaims Network (Canton, Michigan)
