Our client is migrating from PGP to BitLocker since PGP was expensive.

I'm also familiar with McAfee and Sophos. We changed due to the fact that we already had a license for Microsoft Intune and the BitLocker comes included in it. You don't need to pay anything for the license.

I did not previously use another solution in this company.

At another company, I did use. Symantec Endpoint Encryption. Symantec is a proper endpoint solution, and therefore it has a console manager. With Bitlocker, we lack that centralized console. 

Before this, we used Wave but when they were bought out by another company we switched to BitLocker. 

We did not previously use a different solution, however, the critical thing to note is Windows 10 and 11 come with built-in encryption enabled. You have to disable that encryption. Only then will your centralized policy for BitLocker take over. Otherwise, it will throw up an error.

We did not previously use a different solution.

The only solutions that we've had in place were standalone encrypted thumb drives. We had not rolled out BitLocker until then, so we had a need to encrypt thumb drives. We had bought Aegis thumb drives that came encrypted. After we got the encryption rolled out, when someone connected a thumb drive, it was automatically encrypted, or they couldn't store data on it. Once we went to that method, we didn't purchase any more Aegis encrypted thumb drives.

We attempted to use some other products before. But only Microsoft BitLocker proved suitable for our business requirements.

There was no other solution in place. We deployed BitLocker because it fits within our strategy for the environment that we were building, which is a no-infrastructure infrastructure.

MBAM is the only solution that I have used for encryption.

My client was not using another solution prior to this one. I proposed three different products, but they chose BitLocker because it is free. IT is not well understood by the clients in my country, so we need to offer services and they have to be at a low cost. They most often prefer to use solutions that are free, or included with Microsoft Windows.

We previously tried McAfee.

At a previous company, I had used Symantec Endpoint Encryption.

We have some experience with complete data protection and endpoint encryption, but we are using standard features like Windows, and Bitdefender.

We've used a few different disk encryption products, and we've kind of settled on BitLocker because it is native to the operating system. It is simple, and there is no maintenance on it.

We also use Symantec at the moment, but we are retiring Symantec. We had trouble getting all the machines back into the office to change the disk encryption. We have a few left with Symantec. With Symantec, the version that we had was pretty old, and I wasn't sure if it would actually even work with some of the later builds of Windows 10. In terms of maintenance, with Symantec, every time there is a new build of Windows 10, you either have to defer the update while they update with Symantec, or you can install it and hope for the best. It is not a very satisfactory situation where you might have to wait six months before you can go up onto the latest build of Windows.

We have also used a similar solution by Kaspersky.

I have used different solutions, personally, but that was while I was at my previous company.

Prior to using BitLocker, we used PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). We switched because BitLocker was free, being included with Windows, and it had better support.

No. Symantec, Dell and McAfee solutions for disk encryption are expensive and some of them use BitLocker behind the solution, but are very expensive.

No.
