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.

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."
"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."
"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."
"Encryption prevents data loss which can cost the organization a lot of resources."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"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 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."
"Being able to encrypt an entire hard disk has been most valuable."
"BitLocker provides the common person with great security to guard against most threats consisting of efforts by unauthorized people who try to gain access to the computer by not allowing it to boot up absent a password."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"The product is stable."
"The solution has a feature that automatically asks the users to upgrade their password once we set up the process."
"They observed cost savings after implementing Microsoft BitLocker because they requested BitLocker with System Center."
"The transition to Microsoft BitLocker has proven worthwhile due to cost savings."
 

Cons

"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"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."
"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."
"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 implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the implementation process and the integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"The console GUI could be better."
"The management of the product could be made a little easier."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
 

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
"I think it's reasonably priced because I've never heard any complaints from my company about its costs."
"Microsoft BitLocker is a free feature when you are using Microsoft solutions."
"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"
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"It operates on a subscription model on an annual basis."
"BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid"."
