Since I work for an organization, I don't get involved in pricing. I'm more on the technical side. I think it's reasonably priced because I've never heard any complaints from my company about its costs.

The cost of the solution is bundled in with Microsoft Intune. I'm not sure of the exact licensing. It's managed by another person.

The pricing is very reasonable. Bitlocker is already included in Windows version 10. We do pay extra for technical support and potential maintenance.

The licensing is cheap because it comes with Microsoft. It's not expensive because you have to pay for a Microsoft product.

This is not my area but I don't think we pay annual licensing costs. I think we just pay for computer leasing, and all fees are included in the purchase. I don't think we're getting our money's worth because we're often unable to locate computers that have been lost.

You only have to pay for it. BitLocker is already present within the operating system. It's part of the OS. When you buy your laptop or a desktop, BitLocker is already present. The important thing here is the configuration part of it. BitLocker comes on your laptop, and it's 128-bit encryption, which comes by default. It's the unmanaged variety. The managed variety can be 128 or 256 bits. As a matter of industrial practice, we will all deploy 256 versions and there's no software cost coming in.

The important thing here is the deployment tool that you have. There are lots of tools in the market. Microsoft has an app called Intune, which gives you native control of the system. If you don't use Microsoft, if you don't have Intune, then you could look at some other products which give you control over the native encryption rather than deploying their own. Many products are there in the endpoint security domain which provides you encryption. If I decide to go that route, I will disable the BitLocker on both and I will apply this encryption software. However, I’m forced to rely on that encryption tool to do that management.

BitLocker is included in the Windows Pro license. The Pro version of Windows costs about 100 pounds more than the Home Edition, so you need to decide if it's worth upgrading to Pro. That extra cost might be a tough pill for some companies to swallow, but it's necessary if you don't want to worry about your data if an employee loses their laptop.

For the version that comes on the machine, you don't need a license. But you may need a license for support. We need to license users on the individual virtual system.

Although, the license should be part of the product.

I don't know the costs. In terms of Microsoft licensing, we are at E3 on the business, and we're in the process of pricing out and moving to E5. So, a lot of this is included within our licensing agreements.

It's not about pricing, because we are working with Enterprise companies that already have Windows Enterprise, so BitLocker comes already included as a Windows feature. It's free for Enterprise users. The price is only for deployment. The customer will pay for McAfee, however.

In orer to buy ButLocker, you need to buy some other Microsoft products. It's not a standalone product. 

Typically, customers pay a monthly licensing fee.

BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid". To use another disk encryption solution you have to analyze well the needs of each company and how much data is critical to the business.
