We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker and Trend Micro Mobile Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Data Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"It is free and native to the OS. We don't have to worry about upgrades or maintaining the product. You encrypt the disk, and you save the recovery key. That's it. The person puts their password in, and after that, it is up to them. If they forget their password, they have to bring it in to get it unlocked."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"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."
"It is easy to use and administer."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"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."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Parental control"
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"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."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"The only thing that could be slightly improved is the occasional stability issue."
"We recently found some stability issues with Microsoft BitLocker."
"It needs a management console."
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
"BitLocker should be available on standard Windows. We need to spend money on a Pro license to get BitLocker because it's essential to protect our customers' data. We don't want that to fall into the wrong hands."
"User profiles can be improved so that people can create their own passwords. It has one password per machine, which is a problem. We would prefer each user to have his or her own boot password. Each user can have a username and password or biometrics, such as fingerprints and iris scanner, integrated into the boot process, but I really can't see that coming anytime soon, if ever."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"Contact Backup."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"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."
