We are currently using Credant encryption as it can do Windows, Mac, and removable media. This process has not been without a few headaches, but I some of those headaches were self-inflicted. We are revaluating our encryption policies in the upcoming months. We currently plan on encrypting all desktop and laptop machines. There are plans to roll out the removable encryption product this next school year. For those that are using or considering encryption are you looking at Laptops Desktops? If so, do you encrypt all desktops or just select desktops with known confidential data on it.

We are now using PGP/Symantec encryption, and while not perfect it much better than our CheckPoint experience.

We currently use Checkpoint -- however their new version E80.xx does not support our Symantec 12.1, 12.2 etc anti-maleware endpoint solution -- so we are forced to seek another vendor for our encryption needs. Checkpoint FDE/MDE was clunky and we have had lots of issues with it , so this is an opportunity for us. I just wanted to see what folks have found success with and if there are any recommendations.
