Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."Check Point GAiA is easy to use."
"At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."
"One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections."
"Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted."
"It is easy to implement and has AD integration."
"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 important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"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."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"Being able to encrypt an entire hard disk has been most valuable."
"While it helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protection through encryption, the tool is really enhanced with the combination of other Microsoft Security and Compliance features like data labeling."
"The most valuable feature is the TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which makes the PC security stronger because somebody who is not from the team cannot access the PC without the decryption PIN."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support."
"We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras."
"The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated."
"The installation was quite complex."
"It needs a management console."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."
"The management of the product could be made a little easier."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"If integration with Active Directory are not mandatory for him, I think that there are many other solutions in the market that equal or are much stronger than Microsoft."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"For improvement, as it is now, I do not have any support from anyone. There should be a web interface to manage BitLocker. But for now, all I do is just install a new product on the user's machine and create it. I would like to be able to see everything that is happening, even if it is just through a web interface. I would also like to be able to see how many users are provisioned, which users are using BitLocker, and how to disable or enable it. That's what I would like to see."
