"The most valuable feature is the TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which makes the PC security stronger because somebody who is not from the team cannot access the PC without the decryption PIN."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"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."
"As a Microsoft shop, we find this product easy to use."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."

"The integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"The solution could be improved if it was more user friendly."
