Good and inexpensive encryption Software

4.0 10 months ago

Pros:

AxCrypt is known for its simplicity and user-friendly interface. Users can easily encrypt and decrypt files with a simple right-click in Windows Explorer. This makes it accessible even to those who are not technically inclined.

Cons:

AxCrypt's primary focus is on Windows users, and while there is support for Mac, the features and integration are not as comprehensive. This can be a limitation for users who work across multiple operating systems.

Comments: AxCrypt provides a user-friendly interface, making it easy for individuals to encrypt and decrypt files. The software integrates seamlessly with the file explorer in Windows, allowing users to encrypt files with just a right-click.
AxCrypt allows for secure file sharing by enabling users to encrypt files and share them with others. Recipients of the encrypted files can decrypt them using their own AxCrypt account or a password provided by the sender.

Pros:

AxCrypt provides a user-friendly interface, making it easy for individuals to encrypt and decrypt files. The software integrates seamlessly with the file explorer in Windows, allowing users to encrypt files with just a right-click.

Cons:

AxCrypt relies on user-generated passwords to encrypt and decrypt files. While this is a standard practice, it also means that the security of the encrypted files heavily depends on the strength and confidentiality of the user's password. Users need to choose strong, unique passwords and keep them confidential to maintain the integrity of their encrypted files.

Excellent File Encryption App for Smooth Workflow

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I work with the AxCrypt app throughout my shift. It is user friendly and the lag time during ecryption/decryption is almost imperceivable. My files are kept secure and makes my work flow smoothly.

Pros:

I can encrypt/decrypt any document or folder in seconds with just a few mouse clicks.

Cons:

The user interface design of the desktop app looks a bit outdated, kind of retro looking, although it doesn't affect the quality or functionality of encripting/decripting documents.

Good value and easy to use

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: Overall very positive. I've used AxCrypt for many years and been very happy with what it does for me.

Pros:

I probably only use small percentage of the AxCrypt functionality, but it does everything I need. I just encrypt personal files I keep on Google Drive. I especially like the functionality which allows me to open encrypted files, make changes to them and save files without decrypting them first and re-encrypting them.

Cons:

When you delete encrypted files, it appears that AxCrypt keeps a database of all encrypted files and when you simply delete them from the file system without decrypting them first, I get pop-ups indicating that they can't find files.

Great for Home Personal Passwords and Documents

5.0 11 months ago

Pros:

I like AxCrypt because it was easy to set up, easy to use and effective. I don't trust big password managers that advertise a lot because I think they are bigger targets for hackers.

Cons:

My husband won't use it, so even though I have the front door locked and bolted, he has the back door wide open.

Good file protection

Comments: Very good, simple encryption and access when set up correctly.

Pros:

Renders password SS and files unavailable for normal access.

Cons:

It is imperative, to have best control, to plan deployment so as to enhance file manipulation once encrypted. I didn't initially which caused extra work later on.
