As someone else said it depends on the Zombie.

If the Zombies were like those from World War Z the movie, I could see them taking over the world and wiping out mankind. They can run probably faster than any human, never tire or get stitch or need to stop. Feel no pain so would run through glass, barbed wire and anything that they could just force their way through with no regard to self harm.

If it was Zombies like that, I struggle to see how the humans could survive!

But if its more you classic slow shuffling Zombie that can only move at a crawl, then I think it would depend on the worlds reaction when it started. If they saw Zombies and then started killing them straight away, shoot the brain and dead, quarantine and curfews which if broken you get shot, it could be contained. But even that scenario I have my doubts, as no one would think 'zombie' when it began as the idea is implausible. People would assume rabies, or some other more rational idea, and in (most) human nature, we try to help, and cure those suffering ailments. If the outbreak went too long before they acted decisively, then I could see control being lost quickly.

You should read the World War Z book (and dont be mistaken to think the movie resembles the book in ANYWAY except it shares the same name) which was an gripping read and a very viable view of what would happen if a zombie outbreak ever occured.

Fast or slow, it makes no difference. Someone needs to post something here that addresses the fact that humans have so many weapons of mass destruction.
