[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1043140, member: 67091"] Hi, This "Zone Alarm Next Gen" (ZANG) thread confuses me. Firstly, in this thread the giveaway link offers "ZoneAlarm Extreme Security NextGen" (ZAESNG), but the link installs "Zone Alarm Next Gen" (ZANG). I read that ZANG is the giveaway version of ZAESNG, but it'll be nice to see Zone Alarm official webpage confirming that info. Another reason for my confusion, is that I couldn't find known third-party tests, showing Zone Alarm capabilities. I won't say this is a huge problem, but I do like third-party tests because I can compare them with web articles and forum participant opinions (MalwareTips etc). I like the comparison between different sources. With regards to web articles, I found several articles making good reviews about ZAESNG... "good" but not "excellent" reviews. And none of them recommends ZAESNG as the best security software, or as the first security software option. And with regards to forum participant opinions, I found mixed arguments: [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] is not recommending ZA Free (which she considers sub-optimal in the extreme). But it's not clear if she is talking about ZA free antivirus, or if she is talking about ZANG' s giveaway (offered in this thread). In the other hand, we have [USER=99014]@Trident[/USER] . His opinions are important to me, because I know he is a very objective (not emotional) + Very well informed forum participant... and he gained my respect. [USER=99014]@Trident[/USER] seems to like ZAESNG, but for me is not 100% percent clear if he is talking about ZANG, or about ZAESNG, or about Check Point Harmony EndPoint etc. Again, it's not his fault, it's my fault!, I don't have enough info allowing me to understand the difference between ZA' products. Still taking about [USER=99014]@Trident[/USER], he has a video testing ZAESNG, but further comments are bothering me (quoting): "On Real World scenario, ZA blocks everything, but on the malware pack, the system is heavily infected and encrypted". "This product does extremely well when malware is downloaded from the internet and is almost impenetrable. Protection is more than stellar". "It is not so good when malware packs containing scripts are introduced". [USER=99014]@Trident[/USER] also mentioned that ZAESNG' engine is based on Kaspersky's cloud . And [USER=4011]@blueblackwow65[/USER] correctly asked: "Why not just use Kaspersky?". It's a fair question! Finally, [USER=99014]@Trident[/USER] mentioned some performance issues (RAM etc), but in recent comments he said: "The system feels fast, performance is not compromised". By the way, web articles also complained about ZAESNG' performance. [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER] also made a video test with lot of useful comments, but it was in past September 2022. He offered a new updated video test. In short, I'm a bit confused about ZANG, or ZAESNG or Check Point Harmony EndPoint. My confusion does not even allow me to decide if it is worth doing a test with this software. Please, I would appreciate if someone, clearly and orderly, could organize a bit the information in this thread. For example: 1. This thread is exactly about which ZA product? 2. What is the level of protection of the offered ZA product? 3. How is its hardware performance (RAM, CPU, SSD readings/writings etc)? Thanks a lot! [/QUOTE]
