Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lightening Speed VPN" April 20, 2020 4.0 One of many services we provide in our organisation is SEO and with this tool our business has expanded to many foreign countries. I wont get into detail how it is done but his tool is really helpful in SEO and digital marketing stretagies. Above this you can participate in some offers that are province specific, say only US citizens can participate but with this VPN you can virtually be its part which without this would not be that feasible. Pros VPNs are meant to make you anonymous, so is this but the features that this one gives is from no other competitors. The main feature that makes this lead others is its speed. Though you have free version it provides super browsing speed with 4 countries VPN, and all are top ones tat we rarely need it's premium version which by the way has no speed limits and all the countries included. You can directly attach its extension to your browser. One click and boom, you are in that country availing all the offers that are restricted to that region. So you also get the perks of citizens of that country. Anonymity is at its best too. Free trial also does not reveal your identity making it safe to surf the internet. Cons Obviously has some minor disadvantages but it can be easily be corrected. !st irritating thing is the language of the page. Say you are browsing through Zenmate and selected country is Japan and you visit their websites. The pages get loaded in their regional language and you can just see cartoons drawn instead of understanding anything. If search engine like google provides translation to that website than its fine, else you have to try the other country. One important thing that renders your experience is logging in or transaction. Though they claim 100% secrecy but that is not the issue. The problem is you won't receive any One Time Passwords to make transaction or logging in. They also say it does not log any data but some breach can compromise your credentials if you have used this VPN while sending some sensitive information. But it may not be the fault of this VPN as even major secure tools also re breached. Still it is a thing to be considered once.

Even tomorrow is my last day of Trial Subscription and I decide to give it a shot for 1 Month .Fingers Crossed but I am sure it will work. Pros The Most important thing I like about Zen Mate is the Connectivity and than Trial Option of 7 days it offers ( if meeting terms) as compared to the other Market rivals in Current Market .Connect upto 5 Systems in Total under Single Account . Cons It was the Customer service /support part which needs serious input at Zen Mate because even after two correspondence emails there was no help received .even the chat option to contact support was Complementary because it was a Bot and upon spending some more minutes it says , We have noted your query and a executive will call us in a while.Not appreciable when you are a new customer.

Pros The possibility of unlimited simultaneous connections. Cons The lack of certain features and leaked DNS. Review Source ZB Zakaria B. computer engineering Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Is ZenMate the best vpn? " November 30, 2022 5.0 overall experience I would say that ZenMate is a really good VPN with high speed, Don't waste your time. just try it and you will really like it. Pros I'm using ZenMate for a long time and I really like it, high speed, high privacy, and everything is perfect, The most thing that I liked about it, is that there are multiple versions, and you can use it on your phone, computer...there is a free extension for the browser, you can use it without being a member, Imagine you can switch from one country to another with literally one click.if you are a member you will have more features like high-speed servers and more countries.the prices are very cheap, I'm not gonna lie I was surprised. in addition, you have 30 days to test the VPN, and you can refund if you didn't like it. Cons the software is great, and I haven't seen something strange. Review Source SS Sumeet S. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZenMate VPN" April 21, 2022 5.0 Costly compared to its competitors and runs pretty slow. It also blocks programs and websites that are well known and commonly used. Pros Clean interface, user-friendly and easy for even a "non-techy" to turn on and turn off. Easy install as well. Cons The VPN lags and slows the device/computer down when it is connected/turned-on. The cost compared to its competitors that have been around longer and are backed by bigger brands are cheaper and offer more features. Switched from [Hotspot Shield VPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/186549/Hotspot-Shield-VPN/) Cost and features. Review Source MR Mbonjo R.

I recommend this software to users who need security and privacy browsing via the internet Pros This software has an amazing tool which is Ad and tracker blocker, ZenMate VPN offers an ad and tracker blocker that blocks ads and trackers from monitoring users online activity, reducing the risk of online tracking and targeted advertising. Cons I haven't encountered any drawbacks using this amazing software Review Source Heiko T. Head of Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free Version Already Quite Powerful" April 8, 2021 4.0 My overall experience with ZenMate VPN is really good. I never had any issues with it. It doesn't slow down your internet / browsing at all. Whenever I have the need for a VPN connection, I will get it within seconds. Pros I use the ZenMate Google Chrome plugin. I really like it, as it is easy-to-use and it offers even in the free version already a few countries, from where you can establish a free VPN connection with a few clicks. Cons Actually, I have nothing bad to say. But like I mentioned, I just use the free version. Of course, it would be cool, if you could use all features for free. However, when you go for a long-term plan it also costs just a few dollars per month.

However, because of where it is located, we switched to another VPN service. A great tool for those not being too picky about their privacy. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee, so give it a try. Pros A fast, user-friendly, and easy-to-use VPN, that comes at an affordable price if you commit to a three-year plan. There is no apparent IP leak (tried with ipleak tool online), and the VPN connects smoothly, without disconnecting. There are lots of countries you can connect to (81). Cons steaming was ok but speed was left to be desired (well, I do like connecting to far-away servers). It is based in Germany (I believe that all 14-eyes countries should be avoided for maximum privacy). I could not seem to be able to use Wireguard on MAC... which is an issue if you want to use the fastest protocols out there. Review Source SK Sushil K. Managing Director Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Secured & private way of browsing internet" July 9, 2021 4.0 Zenmate VPN has been an excellent solution whenever we need to access any website which is only accessible through a particular location. It has also been a perfect tool for secure and private browsing. Pros Even the accessible version of Zenmate VPN offers uninterruptible access to four country locations, i.e., USA, Singapore, Germany, and Romania. The Chrome extension of this VPN is quite helpful and works instantly. Cons Sometimes there are server issues with Zenmate VPN due to which it does not function properly. And, also by default, the internet surfing speed decreases while turning on the VPN. Review Source ehsanulhaq A. Lecturer Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fastest VPN service so far" June 9, 2021 4.0 It is good, fast and not so costly. Pros Good quality and fastest vpn service so far. It connects with servers as soon as you click on connect button. Even the free version servers perform great. You can browse with no distortions. Cons The free version shows few options to choose a server from. Review Source MeE Ma estelita E.

What i really like is the speed performance of zenmate is fast. Have a 7 days free trial .And also my favorite section is the star icon on the right side which means from there, it will easy to find it for later use.

It Can be use with multiples devices Cons Sometimes, I noticed some speed fluctuations. Review Source AZ Austin Z. Creator Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "VPN Is Important" June 3, 2021 5.0 VPNs is a huge part of the internet. You need to stay as safe as possible while surfing the internet, you never know if a website could be tracking your information. VPNs encrypt your information, and ZenMate does exactly that! Pros I love the most about this software is that it's free to use. The best part is that you can use the VPN in the click of a button. Cons I don't like about the VPN is that they give you the country, and you just click on. You can't select which region or state you want to be in. Also, the countries are very limited, as you have to upgrade to premium to get all the countries. Switched from [CyberGhost VPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/176238/CyberGhost-VPN/) I made the switch because my friend recommended me ZenMate VPN. Review Source TS Tudor S.

SEO Content Writer Printing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Probably the most feasible and best quality VPN" November 6, 2020 4.0 Great, fast, reliable and safe. Pros We use the paid version in our company to avoid unnecessary clicks and to keep our site safe from scams. We tried many VPN's before and got disappointed. We have come to a decision that ZenMate is the best as it is fast, safe and reliable. It connects instantly and very quickly. It also has safe search options to block bad websites which display pornography. We face a minimum website browsing delays. It works smoothly and provides many server options to choose. Cons Sometimes it automatically opens up the safe search option and makes changes to the browser settings. They can be readjusted but they should ask first before making such changes.
