    Microsoft
    It is well suited especially for users that access or store sensitive/confidential data on their computers. In the case of where users are accessing confidential data over the network, it is highly recommended to use Bitlocker to encrypt the computer. In the case where users are storing confidential data on their computer, it should be a requirement that BitLocker is used/enabled. It would be less appropriate if someone was using a computer and they were not dealing with any sensitive data, or in cases where the computer is used for recreational purposes (browsing the web, playing games, etc).

    I would recommend this program ideally more for larger organizations, but that is not to say you couldn't use it for personal use. I think it's ideal for an organization because of all the features it has in one program. It provides all the protection you'd need in a corporation, especially for ones dealing with sensitive company/personal/financial information. Administrators are also able to set specific settings for users so the company can tailor security restrictions as needed

    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.

    Trellix (FireEye + McAfee)
    • I wish it would give better reasoning why some sites or downloads are blocked, this can be frustrating to have happen if what you are trying to download is from someone/thing you know is a trusted source
    • Sometimes the program messes up the formatting of some webpages I'm trying to visit
    • Drive encryption can be a bit slow to load at times

    Not good nor bad, BitLocker encryption is a symptom of our era, we need to protect ourselves and our data, BitLocker is a tool, as an IT we have to deal with it but it doesn't bring any benefit to my daily operations.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • The biggest positive impact it has on ROI is the cost savings, since there is no cost to using the software.
    • Since it's widely available to anyone with a Windows computer, and the program is built into the operating system, there is no need to really install anything. This helps to save time of the IT department having to do installs, and also keep track of licensing, etc.
