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

"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"This encryption is relatively fast and really covers the needs required."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"The product's initial setup phase is totally fine."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"One significant aspect is that without the BitLocker key, you can't log in to the user's laptop. I appreciate the capability to encrypt the user's hard drive, ensuring access only with the recovery key. In an enterprise setup, we store all BitLocker keys on our server. So, whenever a user attempts to log in, the architecture authenticates with the key. This ensures that our data is secure. Even if the user's laptop is lost, we have confidence that the data remains inaccessible. So far, our user data is well-protected."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"While it helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protection through encryption, the tool is really enhanced with the combination of other Microsoft Security and Compliance features like data labeling."
"The hard drive encryption is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity and integration with the Microsoft Clouds platform."
"It is free and native to the OS. We don't have to worry about upgrades or maintaining the product. You encrypt the disk, and you save the recovery key. That's it. The person puts their password in, and after that, it is up to them. If they forget their password, they have to bring it in to get it unlocked."
 

Cons

"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"We recently found some stability issues with Microsoft BitLocker."
"The encryption takes a long time to complete, and our system runs very slowly while it is encrypting."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"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."
"I would recommend BitLocker only because of the economic side, not the technical side. If the features were included in the already existing licenses I would use it. If not, I would recommend other products."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
 

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

"Microsoft BitLocker's pricing is fair; I rate it a four out of ten."
"It is a totally free solution."
