Featured Reviews

Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Users can easily deploy and manage it
The solution's most valuable feature is that it is simple to deploy and manage. I can't say what features of the tool I like since it is very much a deploy-and-forget product. We don't use any advanced features of the tool in my company. The tool's recovery options are good, especially since it integrates with Active Directory, making everything a simple process. The product's integration capabilities are good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"Encryption prevents data loss which can cost the organization a lot of resources."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"This encryption is relatively fast and really covers the needs required."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"It's very straightforward to recover data. It's safe for us; in case of lost information, it provides multiple options to recover the data."
"I like BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"It is easy to use and administer."
"We use Microsoft BitLocker for our endpoints, including laptops."
"We have not seen any bugs or glitches, so the stability is good."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"The platform provides good performance."
 

Cons

"The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"They can improve the security of the application and include an encryption disk in the next feature."
"Instead of integrating with a third party, Microsoft BitLocker should have its own mechanism to safeguard the systems when they are not accessible for a long time."
"User profiles can be improved so that people can create their own passwords. It has one password per machine, which is a problem. We would prefer each user to have his or her own boot password. Each user can have a username and password or biometrics, such as fingerprints and iris scanner, integrated into the boot process, but I really can't see that coming anytime soon, if ever."
"They should offer better login capabilities that are more secure."
"The biggest one for us is revoking access. So, even though someone downloads something to a device, we want the ability to cloak that device or data and bring it back or make that data unusable for that person. Currently, BitLocker doesn't give us that ability. It basically encrypts it. We're seeing if identity management or IAM allows us to do that. We're kind of looking at third-party software that does that for us."
"Microsoft BitLocker needs to be an all-inclusive solution. For example, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cryptoprocessor is required to use Bitlocker with your computer which keeps Bitlocker from adoption beyond Windows."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"In future releases, I would like to see a feature where I can have a view of each device that has BitLocker to see if these machines are encrypted or not. So, I just want a view or a dashboard that can tell us so that I can remediate and add BitLocker to those systems or devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
Information not available
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft BitLocker is a free feature when you are using Microsoft solutions."
"We can activate the product at no cost."
"The cost of this solution is bundled in with part of the subscription for the Microsoft Cloud. We have users subscribed to Enterprise E5 and it comes with E5"
"I don't know the costs. In terms of Microsoft licensing, we are at E3 on the business, and we're in the process of pricing out and moving to E5. So, a lot of this is included within our licensing agreements."
"The solution is cost efficient."
"The product's cost is included in Windows."
"Microsoft BitLocker's pricing is included in the Microsoft license, and you don't have to pay an additional fee for it."
