We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker, Symantec Endpoint Encryption, and WinMagic SecureDoc based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."It is easy to use. It is usually easy to recover someone's privacy. The manageability is much easier than McAfee. I think that Microsoft is a leader in this area. We are in the Microsoft school so our judgment of McAfee will be a little bit unfair as we recommend Microsoft all the time because of the easy manageability and support. I think that McAfee is designed for a different customer and every time we open a ticket with their support, it takes a very, very long time. The main difference is just the manageability and support. In terms of the solution itself or the functionality, I know that McAfee is very strong, but manageability and support, for us, is much more important. It's strengthens the solution for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection and ease of use."
"Being able to encrypt an entire hard disk has been most valuable."
"BitLocker is completely stable."
"There's a lot of manageability within the solution. This is very helpful."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is an encryption tool and provides security."
"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."
"It is fairly stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."
"Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information."
"It is stable."
"The Central Management server."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."
"We recently found some stability issues with Microsoft BitLocker."
"Microsoft BitLocker needs to be an all-inclusive solution. For example, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cryptoprocessor is required to use Bitlocker with your computer which keeps Bitlocker from adoption beyond Windows."
"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 integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"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."
"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."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"The UI could be improved."
"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."
"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."
"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."
"More features need to be included in the encryption software."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
"MacOS X is missing features."
