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.
Ibrahin Gamal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade is hard disk protection."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"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."
"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."
"This encryption is relatively fast and really covers the needs required."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"You can do a silent remote deployment very fast."
"Technical support is excellent."
"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."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. The ability to import data to build your frontend on top of the data is very simple and very useable."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity and integration with the Microsoft Clouds platform."
"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."
"One significant aspect is that without the BitLocker key, you can't log in to the user's laptop. I appreciate the capability to encrypt the user's hard drive, ensuring access only with the recovery key. In an enterprise setup, we store all BitLocker keys on our server. So, whenever a user attempts to log in, the architecture authenticates with the key. This ensures that our data is secure. Even if the user's laptop is lost, we have confidence that the data remains inaccessible. So far, our user data is well-protected."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
 

Cons

"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."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"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."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"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 solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"They can improve the security of the application and include an encryption disk in the next feature."
"I would recommend BitLocker only because of the economic side, not the technical side. If the features were included in the already existing licenses I would use it. If not, I would recommend other products."
"They should offer better login capabilities that are more secure."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"The solution could be improved if it was more user friendly."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

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."
