Overall Satisfaction with BitLocker Drive Encryption
We encrypt all Windows, end-user PCs with Bitlocker 256 bit XTS encryption. BitLocker Drive Encryption helps us stay compliant with HIPAA, 3rd party risk requirements, and our own security practices. BitLocker Drive Encryption is a top tier product and and is greatly effective. More so because it is baked into the Windows 10/11 operating system. We're also able to centrally manage encryption keys using active directory, Intune, or other 3rd party management applications.

BitLocker Drive Encryption is much more reliable. We used McAfee drive encryption prior to moving to BitLocker Drive Encryption. While McAfee was useful, it's required pre-boot environment always fell out of sync with AD passwords, causing users difficulty to sign into their PCs and constant helpdesk calls for assistance. We moved to BitLocker Drive Encryption to help mitigate some of that trouble and thus far it has worked.
