My verdict on Exeone Archiver 2014

This software is very much useful for its numerous features. The features are working correctly and hence the software is recommended. Some aspects can be improved.

• The software has skinning support but has only the default skin.
• It should support name encryption of archives.
• There should be custom sizes allowed for splitting of files.
• The software adds quite a few context menu items and should better be listed under a context menu folder.

The software requires to install drivers for encryption purpose. In special cases the driver installation may fail in some 64 bit Windows. If that happens, please contact support to manually fix this problem.
