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.

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

"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade is hard disk protection."
"End-to-end encryption provides full disk encryption, ensuring that all data on the device, including the operating system."
"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"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."
"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."
"Protects employee and enterprise data in case of loss of a laptop."
"The platform provides good performance."
"It seemed easy, straightforward, and secure."
"BitLocker is completely stable."
"Prior to using BitLocker, we used PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). We switched because BitLocker was free, being included with Windows, and it had better support."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is simple to deploy and manage."
"The disk encryption is the most valuable aspect of the solution for our organization."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"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."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"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 one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"It takes a very long time to encrypt a disk, so I think that speed is something that can be improved."
"If integration with Active Directory is not mandatory for him, I think that there are many other solutions in the market that equal or are much stronger than Microsoft."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"Instead of integrating with a third party, Microsoft BitLocker should have its own mechanism to safeguard the systems when they are not accessible for a long time."
"Although drive encryption could be running in the background, it took a long time to encrypt a drive."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
 

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
"We already use Microsoft products, and Microsoft BitLocker is an add-on product that is free of cost for us."
"I think it's reasonably priced because I've never heard any complaints from my company about its costs."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product's cost is included in Windows."
"For reasons unknown, Microsoft products seem to be getting more expensive."
"BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid"."
"It operates on a subscription model on an annual basis."
