We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker and Trend Micro Mobile Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Data Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"The solution has a feature that automatically asks the users to upgrade their password once we set up the process."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"Parental control"
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"BitLocker should be available on standard Windows. We need to spend money on a Pro license to get BitLocker because it's essential to protect our customers' data. We don't want that to fall into the wrong hands."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"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."
"The encryption takes a long time to complete, and our system runs very slowly while it is encrypting."
"It is not good for cross-compatibility, so our Mac users are not able to use it."
"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 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."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
"Contact Backup."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
