Support a wide range of languages .
Fast for preview zipped files.
Very good compress ratio in 7z format.
Old style interface, but quick and easy to learn.
Command line version with parameter switches for batch scripts.
In advance settings the amount of concurrent threads can be decided by the user.
Free of charge without advertisement, bloatware o potentially unwanted program.
A bit slow and cpu consuming when there are a lot of heavy files
