Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."Integration with System Center Configuration Manager (C: and D: logical drives are encrypted before installing Windows via SCCM)."
"The tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"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 platform provides good performance."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"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."
"The Central Management server."
"The deployment process regarding prerequisites and automation could be easy to understand."
"The implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"It's possible that the time it takes to pull items in to BitLocker could be reduced a bit."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"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."
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
"MacOS X is missing features."
