    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Encrypts the entire drive and provides a high level of security.
    • In an Active Directory environment, you can set up BitLocker to automatically save keys to AD.
    • As part of Windows, no additional licensing costs.
    • Set up and configuration is relatively easy.
    • Uses TPM module to increase security.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Even if it's the best we tested, I think write performance could be improved. Maybe with dedicated hardware inside the TPM?
    • No integration with OS password is a shame as most others have it and it is Microsoft on Microsoft so they can probably do it better then anyone else and safer.
    • I wish they would support multiple passwords like FileVault on macOS. If it's a shared computer, you have to give the only password to Bitlocker to both users.
