"The most valuable feature is the simplicity and integration with the Microsoft Clouds platform."
"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."
"While it helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protection through encryption, the tool is really enhanced with the combination of other Microsoft Security and Compliance features like data labeling."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"It is easy to implement and has AD integration."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"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."
"It is an encryption tool and provides security."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."
"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."
"The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The user interface is messy and could be simplified."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by making the customer aware of the benefits of the solution which would increase the adoption. Additionally, if there were features to suit multi-cloud environments it would be helpful. If the solution can intelligently identify which is important data for the organization and should not be released from the organization without authorization would be a benefit."
"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection."

"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"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."
"The solution should offer encryption for other items such as shared folders, removable media, etc."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The pricing should be improved."
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
