Centralized management with full disk encryption and helpful authentification capabilities
They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly. They should also improve performance in encrypting and decrypting data more efficiently. A lot of machine resources are consumed; they should improve the audit area of the tool and make it more It is also efficient to add some type of remote access functionality for data recovery or integration with policy management tools. They must improve support and customer service, which is one of the factors where they have been failing the most in recent years.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Data protection improves while users adapt to user access complexities
Recovery options are useful with Microsoft BitLocker. When we get the recovery key from Microsoft, people who we show how BitLocker works did not know the facts about BitLocker. When we tell them about recovery keys, it is very difficult for them to get to the users who have issues in their PCs and do not have the knowledge. When IT asked about the scenario, it was difficult for them. They needed something where they could go to the administration portal to unlock the PC for the user, but we tell them that when a user asks for a recovery key, it consists of 32 numbers to unlock their PC. They observed cost savings after implementing Microsoft BitLocker because they requested BitLocker with System Center. They found that it did not have a high cost, as it is a built-in feature in Windows. When they asked about other solutions, it was very expensive for large numbers in other corporates or organizations. They were very satisfied with Microsoft BitLocker with System Center Configuration Manager.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"End-to-end encryption provides full disk encryption, ensuring that all data on the device, including the operating system."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"I liked the way it works with our Microsoft tools. As we roll out Intune, we can validate if the device has been encrypted, and if not, we can push it down. It is pretty simple to deploy."
"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."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"The hard drive encryption is very good."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"The tool is stable."
"It seemed easy, straightforward, and secure."
 

Cons

"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"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."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"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."
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
"I often have to make multiple attempts to log in."
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"The management of the product could be made a little easier."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"If integration with Active Directory are not mandatory for him, I think that there are many other solutions in the market that equal or are much stronger than Microsoft."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
Information not available
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool is cheap compared to the products offered by competitors. If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as one."
"It is free. It is enabled as part of the operating system. Once you have an operating system license, you're licensed for Bitlocker."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"This solution is included with Microsoft Server and my clients did not have to pay for anything extra."
"We can activate the product at no cost."
"Microsoft BitLocker is a free feature when you are using Microsoft solutions."
"BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid"."
