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.

Has helped protect mobile communications and prevent risky app usage while providing timely threat alerts
I am using the real-time scanning feature in Trend Micro Mobile Security. Whenever a message comes on my WhatsApp, Trend Micro Mobile Security can scan it, and whenever I press and click on that link, it immediately tells me not to click as it's harmful and malicious. It's a very good system; whenever I install any product or application on my mobile phone, the application scanner scans and tells me about the vulnerabilities in the application. Most of the applications I have removed on the recommendation of Trend Micro Mobile Security. I find App Reputation services beneficial. Trend Micro Mobile Security is good at responding immediately and making the user aware of potential threats, which is a significant improvement over my previous experience with Kaspersky mobile security over 10 years ago. As of now, Trend Micro Mobile Security is efficient and a very good solution. Mobile security has a positive impact, as one of my colleagues who didn't use Trend Micro Mobile Security had his WhatsApp hacked while traveling, with the hacker requesting money. The other colleagues and senior executives use Trend Micro Mobile Security on their mobile phones, and when we go to open Wi-Fi, Trend Micro Mobile Security notifies us that it's not safe.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ease of administering and integrating the solution is great."
"This solution does everything that we need it to do, is very convenient, and fits into our strategy of having everything in a homogeneous Microsoft Cloud."
"I like the simplicity and ease of use of this solution."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"They observed cost savings after implementing Microsoft BitLocker because they requested BitLocker with System Center."
"The product is stable."
"Bitlocker is a very user friendly tool, which can encrypt our data within a few clicks."
"After the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) implementation, in such cases, any unauthorised person will not be able to access the data."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"Trend Micro products, all their products, are very user-friendly so everyone can easily manage it."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
"Parental control"
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
 

Cons

"User profiles can be improved so that people can create their own passwords. It has one password per machine, which is a problem."
"They can improve the security of the application and include an encryption disk in the next feature."
"Microsoft BitLocker is far away from the threats in data security. It is not the number one solution for security, but I think it is a good layer in this process."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"Remote management (e.g., enable/disable, reset, etc.) of PIN codes and recovery keys would be a nice feature."
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
"The only disadvantage I see is that my mobile is very slow after installing this scanner."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"Contact Backup."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BitLocker is already in Windows 10 and its price has already been "paid"."
"The price of this solution should be more competitive."
"We didn't pay for additional licenses since the solution is built into Windows."
"Microsoft BitLocker's pricing is included in the Microsoft license, and you don't have to pay an additional fee for it."
"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 priced low. I would rate the product's pricing one out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is cost efficient."
"Very cheap in cost"
"Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
