"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."
"It is an encryption tool and provides security."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"I like the solution for its encryption."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management."
"It is stable."
"The encryption feature is very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The Central Management server."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"The migration itself is a nightmare."
"It needs a management console."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"If integration with Active Directory are not mandatory for him, I think that there are many other solutions in the market that equal or are much stronger than Microsoft."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed."
"The product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release."
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."
"Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."
"One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom."
"MacOS X is missing features."
