Project manager at SII
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

"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"Encryption prevents data loss which can cost the organization a lot of resources."
"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"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."
"Above all, the possibility of keeping our data safe by placing a unique digital signature for each device we will encrypt, informing us of any unauthorized changes, is one of the most valuable features."
"The product's initial setup phase is totally fine."
"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."
"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 product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"It is easy to use and administer."
"It is easy to implement and has AD integration."
"It is easy to use and has multiple options for many uses."
"Overall, BitLocker is a good product and I recommend implementing it."
"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."
"I like the simplicity and ease of use of this solution."
"The disk encryption is the most valuable aspect of the solution for our organization."
"It's very straightforward to recover data. It's safe for us; in case of lost information, it provides multiple options to recover the data."
 

Cons

"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"The solution is overpriced."
"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."
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"Any software encryption will take up additional space on your hard drive or storage device, and Bitlocker is no exception."
"The encryption takes a long time to complete, and our system runs very slowly while it is encrypting."
"They should offer better login capabilities that are more secure."
"Microsoft BitLocker needs to be an all-inclusive solution. For example, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cryptoprocessor is required to use Bitlocker with your computer which keeps Bitlocker from adoption beyond Windows."
"Technical support could be better. It is slow."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"The solution could be improved if it was more user friendly."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
 

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 cost efficient."
"Microsoft BitLocker's pricing is fair; I rate it a four out of ten."
"The cost of this solution is bundled in with part of the subscription for the Microsoft Cloud. We have users subscribed to Enterprise E5 and it comes with E5"
"Microsoft BitLocker is a free feature when you are using Microsoft solutions."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think it's reasonably priced because I've never heard any complaints from my company about its costs."
"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."
