Cons
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly.""I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices.""The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device.""The tool is too expensive to be an add-on to the main solution. They could launch it independently so that costs can be lowered.""The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time.""Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it.""There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices.""Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."

"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Cons →

"The management of the product could be made a little easier.""The initial setup is complex.""It's possible that the time it takes to pull items in to BitLocker could be reduced a bit.""The solution should offer encryption for other items such as shared folders, removable media, etc.""We recently found some stability issues with Microsoft BitLocker.""The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition""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.""Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."

  • "BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid"."
  • "It is a totally free solution."

    McAfee Mobile Security is an antivirus that guards against viruses, spyware and malicious websites. It is an anti-theft that locates, tracks and sends alarm using online portal. It boosts performance of the phone with battery optimizer, easily access key features through the widget, takes actions straight from your Android Wear to find and secure your mobile device. And it has privacy that selectively share access to your apps by setting up different profiles.

    BitLocker is a full disk encryption solution that protects your data from theft, hacking, and loss. BitLocker achieves this by encrypting the entire drive that hosts your operating system and all your data. BitLocker can work on all operating systems, drives, or devices, including portable storage devices.

    After BitLocker completes the data encryption, it generates a recovery key. Only those with the correct encryption key will be able to decrypt and access the encrypted files and information. Attempts to access secured data on premises or over the network will be met with either authentication prompts or error messages saying the data cannot be accessed.

    BitLocker provides its users with peace of mind by improving security and reducing risks of critical data loss and intrusions.

    Benefits of Microsoft BitLocker

    • Comprehensive data protection: BitLocker encryption provides increased security for data throughout its lifecycle, which starts with the creation and storage of the data and ends with its removal. Encryption prevents important data from being accidentally revealed or stolen. When data is encrypted, stealing data is more difficult, and hackers are often discouraged from instigating a cyberattack.

    • BitLocker is free with Microsoft Windows: Microsoft BitLocker is free to use and very easy to set up.

    • Good performance: BitLocker does not make the computer slow down or freeze when in use. You are free to work on other processes with BitLocker running in the background. BitLocker’s interface is very intuitive and the process of encrypting and decrypting data is straightforward and fast.

    • Prevent unauthorized data modification: BitLocker helps to keep your computing environment safe from any unauthorized changes. BitLocker regularly inspects your boot settings every time your PC is turned on. When BitLocker notices that modifications have been made to your boot environment, it forces the PC to enter recovery mode.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft BitLocker stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its powerful encryption capabilities and its user-friendly user interface.

    An ICT operations and security manager notes, “It is free and native to the OS. We don't have to worry about upgrades or maintaining the product. You encrypt the disk, and you save the recovery key. That's it. The person puts their password in, and after that, it is up to them. If they forget their password, they have to bring it in to get it unlocked.”

    Kevin C., a director at Pathfinder, writes, “Theease of use is the most valuable feature. The ability to import data to build your frontend on top of the data is very simple and very useable.”
