Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."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 tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"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 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."
"It is easy to use. It is usually easy to recover someone's privacy. The manageability is much easier than McAfee. I think that Microsoft is a leader in this area. We are in the Microsoft school so our judgment of McAfee will be a little bit unfair as we recommend Microsoft all the time because of the easy manageability and support. I think that McAfee is designed for a different customer and every time we open a ticket with their support, it takes a very, very long time. The main difference is just the manageability and support. In terms of the solution itself or the functionality, I know that McAfee is very strong, but manageability and support, for us, is much more important. It's strengthens the solution for us."
"The ease of administering and integrating the solution is great."
"It is easy to use and administer."
"The Central Management server."
"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."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The pricing should be improved."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"The implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"MacOS X is missing features."
