Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

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.

Integration streamlines security management and supports both cloud and on-premises environments
Microsoft BitLocker implementation requires careful consideration. When any BIOS change occurs, Microsoft BitLocker activates because it detects a potential vulnerability, which is its intended function. Since BIOS updates are necessary periodically, it is crucial that whoever implements Microsoft BitLocker knows how to recover the key, especially when dealing with important devices such as a CEO's laptop. The implementation process is straightforward, and it operates in the background. Once initiated, it continues to function even if the computer is turned off. It proceeds without user notification, which is beneficial. The progress can be monitored along with other relevant information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Due to the fact that we bought a number of McAfee security products, one of the significant benefits for our company was the integration across multiple security controls, giving us a single pane of glass to monitor, administer, and manage multiple security controls."
"The hard drive encryption is very good."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"If you want a free solution and work on Microsoft, use Windows BitLocker."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"The product is stable."
"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."
"We have not seen any bugs or glitches, so the stability is good."
 

Cons

"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"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."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"I felt it was too expensive for the service that I required."
"Remote management (e.g., enable/disable, reset, etc.) of PIN codes and recovery keys would be a nice feature."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the implementation process and the integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"Right now, the problem for us is, if a laptop is stolen, how they address it with the hard drive if it is already protected in BitLocker?"
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"I don't think we're getting our money's worth because we're often unable to locate computers that have been lost."
 

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
"Microsoft BitLocker's pricing is included in the Microsoft license, and you don't have to pay an additional fee for it."
"It is a totally free solution."
"The solution is priced low. I would rate the product's pricing one out of ten."
"It is free. It is enabled as part of the operating system. Once you have an operating system license, you're licensed for Bitlocker."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is cost efficient."
"I think it's reasonably priced because I've never heard any complaints from my company about its costs."
"We can activate the product at no cost."
