No Longer Working...
HeadMooseSeptember 21, 2015
Pros
When it worked, it was fast, easy, and seamless. Did exactly what it said it would, and did it well.
Cons
After upgrade to Windows 10, this product no longer functions - entering the password simply hangs the app until you use Task Manager to shut it down. No response from Tech Support on this, and I am afraid this may be abandonware. If you, like I, had a load of encrypted data....
Summary
Version 10 still occasionally freezes - Windows 7
camcoloSeptember 11, 2014
Pros
Easy to Use Good encryption (does NSA have a back door into this?).
Cons
Sometimes will crash and close. Cannot halt the process through Windows and must reboot the computer. Encrypted directory seems to stay open!
Summary
generally good but occasionally causes system freeze
thripApril 11, 2014
Pros
1.usually efficient 2.simple 3.portable - I use it to encrypt files on my hard drive, USB stick, and CD's and DVD's and this has worked flawlessly for me.
Cons
my only gripe is that every third or fourth time i use it on my system - Windows 7 with Cryptainer PE Ver 7.1 - it freezes and i need to reboot. Not sure if an upgrade to a newer version will correct this problem.
Summary
for my uses, it works wonderfully except for the freezing (which never occurs on my home computer running Windows XP, suggesting maybe a problem between Win 7 and Cryptainer PE Ver 7.1 ) ??
Great when it works. No support if it doesn't.

Pros
Intuitive, sensible, easy to use programme.
Cons
No support whatsoever. Worked very well (ME paid for version) for me on XP and then W7 for several months but now crashes every time I try to open an additional volume - so I can't currently access my confidential business docs. Mailing support has never yet had a response.
Summary
Good programme but dicey since you may suddenly lose access to your encrypted documents. If it was supported I would rate it 4*.
Good, strong encryption
mkpattMay 29, 2010
Pros
I tried TrueCrypt and it seemed a more difficult to use than Cypherix. For me, I need to be able to maintain and carry highly confidential documents on my laptop and my flash drive and this tool really does the trick.
Cons
The 25mb limit for the free version is a little tight, but understandable. I think TrueCrypt has Cypherix beat on this count.
Summary
A good strong encrypted vault that will protect your files.
easy to use but...
dudeltMarch 5, 2010
Pros
ease of use, reasonably inexpensive
Cons
2 or 3 major bugs that causes computer to crash and reboot
Summary
I was given a copy, along with 10 other employees, to test for my company. I was running windows 2000 sp 4. I found 2 major bugs. The system will often crash when unloading a a cypherix volume. For me it happens more than occasionally. The system also will crash when deleting files from a Cypherix volume and when copying files to a volume. You are supposed to be able to run program that is installed on a cypherix volume but I was unable to without crashing the system every time. All reviewers at my company had the same problems. The software is easy to use and quite intuitive. If you can use Windows explorer, you can use Cypherix. I kept my copy for my personal use and have found ways around some of the bugs (like not shutting down a Cypherix volume until I am done for the day). Cypherix PE version 7.2.3 could be a great product and I will have to try it on Vista to see if the problems are unique to Windows 2000 alone
Works well with Vista, will it work with Windows 7?
dwrichesOctober 14, 2009
Pros
Simple to use. Provides basic security sufficient to stop 'nosey parkers'
Cons
No complaints
Summary
I need to know whether this version will run with Windows 7 I have LE version 7.2.3
VERY Poor company support - don't waste your money.
GarnzeeMay 12, 2009
Pros
Does what it says it will do.
Cons
No company support.
Summary
I purchased, downloaded and installed the software. Was suppose to receive a registration code but did not receive one. My computer sees the software as an examination copy because I cannot register it and the 30-day period is about to expire and the software become useless. Have emailed them 6 times and received no reply. DON'T BUY THIS SOFTWARE - you will lose your money.
easy to use and effective
Joshua ForemanDecember 15, 2007
Pros
User-friendly product, very similar to True Crypt. Creates 448-bit Blowfish (or other choices) encrypted folder up to 25 MB in size, mounts as a volume; you can assign its drive letter. After entering the password (your choice), files can be dragged and dropped into the container. You can create as many volumes as you have available drive letters, on hard drives, flash drives, any media that can be mounted as a drive under Windows. A very mature, stable product, backed by a major company that sells enhanced versions of Cryptainer at very reasonable prices. Their customer list includes some major companies and government agencies. This is an excellent choice to encrypt data on flash drives, in case you lose the drive. I haven't noticed any performance hit, unlike what you get with some software-based flash drive encrypters.
Cons
One password opens Cryptainer LE, so every volume has the same password. Menu could be better designed; newbies must learn by trial and error. These are minor quibbles compared to the value of this product; everyone who carries data on flash drives should use it!
Summary
Good Free Product
December 13, 2007
Pros
Works well with Windows XP. Good overall program
Cons
Only 25MB can be created using program. But you can create as many as you want.
