Users can easily deploy and manage it

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is simple to deploy and manage."

Cons

"It would be good if Microsoft offered improved recovery options or if it could automate the recovery options a bit."

A solution that prevents unauthorized access and goes beyond security measures to provide protection to its users

Pros

"It maintains security on my computer. Since I travel a lot, it gives me confidence that if, for some reason, my computer is lost, my data won't be compromised."

Cons

"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone. "

Cons

"The migration itself is a nightmare."

Efficiently encrypt the drives on our machines and highly scalable solution

Pros

"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."

Cons

"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."

Good security capabilities, stability and easy to setup

Pros

"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."

Cons

"For improvement, as it is now, I do not have any support from anyone. There should be a web interface to manage BitLocker. But for now, all I do is just install a new product on the user's machine and create it. I would like to be able to see everything that is happening, even if it is just through a web interface. I would also like to be able to see how many users are provisioned, which users are using BitLocker, and how to disable or enable it. That's what I would like to see."

Straightforward to recover data, intuitive and efficiently encrypt our devices

Pros

"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."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in stability. "
