It's a great service, but when you migrate, Microsoft needs to think of different ways they can help because they're the only ones that can make things easier. Otherwise, service providers will have a problem.

It may not be core technical, but in terms of how they can manage migrations, Microsoft should give more use cases and real-world case studies. That will help a lot.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are a customer and end-user.

We are using Intune to enable BitLocker. We are testing BitLocker on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

BitLocker is very established. It's very easy to encrypt the machine, versus Sophos in Windows 7. The keys are centrally located. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I am a customer and end-user. 

We're moving towards having a solution that can manage user mobility, and we have to define a strategy that may include Bitdefender. Our future strategy is all about mobility.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

I'd advise new users to compare it to other solutions and make sure they understand what Bitlocker can do. They may need an extra solution for managing Bitlocker.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's great. It just needs a management console.

I think it's important to involve the technical team when selecting a product and testing it out, rather than having the upper management make the decisions regarding which products to purchase. It's also important to get upfront support, technical support and maintenance, and maybe somehow get a portal where they can manage it themselves rather than it just kind of existing. 

I would rate this product an eight out of 10. It does what it's supposed to do and it's just the troubleshooting that's a problem.

I’m using the latest edition. I started off on a trial basis for a couple of weeks, and now I've taken it to production. All my laptops are now on BitLocker.

I’d rate the solution nine out of ten.

If you want a free solution and work on Microsoft, use Windows BitLocker. That should do the job for you. Unless otherwise explicitly required for business needs, Encryption is basically a compliance requirement from an audit compliance requirement perspective. Encryption of your hard drives is a compliance requirement. However, there are businesses and industries wherein the data has to be encrypted, and it’s mandatory. This is not an issue of compliance for them. It's a work requirement. In those kinds of scenarios, then you would have to probably look at third-party solutions, which give you something beyond just the basic encryption. If you want to do basic encryption and you have your Intune, just use that. No money needs to be spent. You just need to put a little effort into creating a policy to push and apply to all the systems. End of story. However, if you have something more significant, you may have to look at other solutions.

Bitlocker is easy to use. You can find a lot of information on how to use it on many informational sites, but the process is straightforward: follow the "next, next, finish" steps. It takes time, depending on whether you're encrypting an external disk or a disk with existing data. If the disk is empty, the process is speedy.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I would recommend BitLocker to others. As part of the development team, we take the lead in creating plans, and we have suggested using BitLocker for critical users who need to protect their laptop content. It has been effective for us, providing a solid layer of security, especially for sensitive data. If someone is looking to safeguard their information, BitLocker is a reliable solution worth considering. Overall, I would rate it as a ten out of ten.

Microsoft BitLocker is directly deployed on the end user devices. Microsoft BitLocker is an encryption solution that ciphers the disk of the local machine. If you carry around your devices and somebody steals them, they cannot read the data off it even if they attach it to another device.

Microsoft BitLocker is directly deployed on the end user devices. Microsoft BitLocker is an encryption solution that ciphers the disk of the local machine. If you carry around your devices and somebody steals them, they cannot read the data off it even if they attach it to another device.

Using Microsoft BitLocker is very easy. After ciphering the data, it unlocks itself if you have a modern PC attached to the correct PC. However, you must have your old company username and password to create an account and see the data. You cannot see the data if you don't have the password. Nothing much can be done regarding the software's usability or evolution.

Microsoft BitLocker should not be considered as an end-user software. It's a system software that protects your hard disk.

Microsoft BitLocker is not hard to use.

Overall, I rate Microsoft BitLocker a nine out of ten.

We have individual files when IT support prepares the computers. We have the information to replace an SSD or increase the size. We need to remove BitLocker, change the drive, put it back, and encrypt it again with BitLocker. We can check the way the encryption is used because it is centralized. It is good to test the features and centralize the encryption. Overall, I rate the tool an eight or nine out of ten.

Microsoft BitLocker is a cloud-based solution. I would recommend Microsoft BitLocker to other users. The solution's performance lags a little. Your process will get a bit slow whenever you start encrypting the data.

I rate the solution a five out of ten for ease of use and effectiveness.

Overall, I rate Microsoft BitLocker an eight out of ten.

I recommend Microsoft BitLocker. It protects our endpoints and company data and helps secure the infrastructure. In case of suspicious activity, our data remains inaccessible.

However, they should also explore other easier options for IT professionals to understand. I rate the platform a six out of ten.

If you don't implement this, you have to implement something else. You have to have some type of encryption. In the past, people wanted a layered approach to security. They wanted to have different vendors, and they wanted it to be able to have that overlap of vendor support on security, but the reality is that everybody looks to Microsoft. If you look at the SolarWind attack, who do they go to help resolve it? They went straight to Microsoft. Therefore, we're getting away from that thought process of divide and conquer. We're just trying to align everything up with a single pane of glass so that we can build on our Microsoft tools. In the past, we would have resisted being tied to one security.

I can't rate it any lower than eight out of 10. The only reason why I don't rate it a 10 is that they can do more with it. It is good at what it does, but it needs to do more. It is never going to get a 10 from me because it is never going to be perfect, but there is more to do.

We have no infrastructure. Everything we have, our entire infrastructure, has moved and it's in the Microsoft Azure cloud.

This solution does everything that we need it to do. It is very convenient and it fits into our strategy of having everything in a homogeneous Microsoft Cloud. 

It is difficult to rate anything a ten as there may be future bugs or features that may be introduced, or if someone can discover how to hack it. At this time, we feel very safe and very covered with the encryption levels that we have with BitLocker.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use the latest version of Microsoft BitLocker. We didn't have any specific incidents where we needed to use the solution's recovery process. However, if there's a problem unlocking devices, it's pretty simple to manage.

The solution is not complicated to manage. Microsoft BitLocker is transparent to end users, and they are unaware of its existence. It doesn't impact their performance in a measurable way, and we don't have any problems with it.

Microsoft BitLocker is a very useful tool for managing endpoints, especially mobile ones, and ensuring that data is not leaked. The solution's drives are integrated into the mobile workstation. We require one person as a backup to maintain the solution, which is not time-consuming. It just takes a few hours every month. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft BitLocker ten out of ten.

I could advise any company to then deploy Microsoft BitLocker, first of all, because the product is free and the end user's computer performance is not affected. There are some products that when you install it on the end user's system, their system can become very slow.

I essentially joined the company and since I got here all the laptops and endpoints have been encrypted using BitLocker. We are using IBM as management for all the data and to stop Microsoft from taking away Unbound support.

We are looking for an alternative. We're curious about Symantec or endpoint encryptions that I can use with BitLocker, on top of the Symantec client that I have. 

We're using the latest version of the solution, from what I understand. We load the solution directly onto laptops.

I would recommend the solution. However, if I find another endpoint solution, I may switch. I'm not tied to this product.

I don't have a lot of experience on the solution just yet. I'm still evaluating it in a lot of ways, and discovering the features.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

If anyone is looking for integration solutions and has a requirement related to integration between Active Directory and integration solutions, I think that he needs to strongly go to Microsoft BitLocker. If integration with Active Directory is not mandatory for him, I think that there are many other solutions in the market that equal or are much stronger than Microsoft.

I would give this solution an eight out of ten. In order to make it 9 or 10, I think that Microsoft would need to work on the desktop optimization deck that is coming with Microsoft to make the deployment much easier than what it is right now. Deployment is okay. As a partner, we can work on it without any issues, but some customers face issues deploying it by themselves because of the difficulty of understanding all of the requirements. The solution is very good and it is manageable for partners, because of their technical value or technical effort. For the level one customer help desk or administrator, however, it's not as easy. They should work on this part and make the deployment much easier.

The encryption solution was not something that I was really informed about, but I decided to study it and then propose it to my customers.

I propose two different deployment models; the cloud and on-premises. The internet connection fees here are expensive, so many people prefer to deploy on-site.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to have a good idea of what they want to do, prepare for it, and go for it. It is not really complex, yet it is a very rich solution to deploy.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Microsoft BitLocker is that it can help a lot of people, but it is not very well known. People need to be familiarized with this solution through discussion. Engaging customers and proposing it to them will really help with the security of IT infrastructure in an enterprise. You can secure all of your data, the transfer of your data, and even USB keys.

This may not be the best solution, but it is easy to deploy and easy to grow.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

We have not gone to a server model, like running it through a centralized location. This is due to the fact that we decided to deploy it normally through creating encryption keys and sharing those keys so that we are able to access the machine using the keys themselves.

It has not been fully loaded across the company as we are looking for solutions that can work for us as a main solution.

What I wanted us to do, whether it was via BitLocker or Symantec or whichever tool, was to have a centralized administration so that we are able to create those keys and are able to share them. We also want to be able to control them from a centralized location. That's the type of solution I'm looking for. I do not want things to be done manually. Centralized administration is very good for that.

Before I can recommend the solution, I would want to understand it fully. I'm working with my colleague to be able to understand what is its strengths and its weaknesses are. Most companies want simple tools that don't cost a lot of money. I haven't used this tool too much, and therefore can't properly evaluate it. We're currently hoping we can roll it out in a better way. That remains to be seen.

From what I have seen so far, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

In order to avoid such an experience in the future, I was forced to search for a free tool that would help me encrypt my drive. Bitlocker was all we needed. To be sincere, I am not disappointed deploying the tool. All my drives are now encrypted. There is no fear of losing my job as a result of unauthorized access to my flash drives, and any other drives. Bitlocker also enabled us to encrypt the drive hosting the operating systems of our mobile users. All that the PC needs, is to be Trusted Platform Module (TPM) compliant, or rather, have a USB stick that contains the keys. This provides additional security to the systems. View full review »

We are using BitLocker for Windows 10 (which depends on TPM 1.2 or greater) being managed by MBAM 2.5 with SQL Server database to store the encryption keys. BitLocker is configured to use Active Directory or SQL to store the encryption keys. When using AD, the keys are stored in an unprotected directory. When using SQL, the stored keys are stored in an encrypted database.

I recommend that you study many hours before you start testing. Take the MBAM test at Microsoft's website.

Study TPM 1.2 and 2.0.

Use SQL to store the encryption keys and not the Active Directory, so you leave the AD free of high processing and add a layer of protection with the encryption of the database.

It is important to test on ALL models of computers, there is always a model that will not work.

As a student, I use flash drives frequently. Sometimes my colleagues borrow my flash and could potentially delete my important data. By encrypting my flash drive, I can avoid it. However, there are still a few problems with it. It comes only with the windows Ultimate and Enterprise editions, so the users who use other editions cannot use this tool. It takes a long time to encrypt a drive. View full review »

It is enhanced in Windows 10, supports PIN self-service and better encryption methods.

Start experimenting in the lab to understand the hardware integration (TPM), encryption methods and (optional) PIN management.

Fix your solution before rolling out, because changing parameters (like encryption) on computers where BitLocker is active is a heavy process in terms of time (decrypt/change/encrypt, etc.).

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.

I would recommend Webroot because it's easier to maintain and report. 

I would rate BitLocker a five out of ten. 

BitLocker is more for big customers with everything in one console.
