I would certainly go for Safeboot hard disk encryption
Easy to manage which is very important towards users as they will be your
assurance 
East to link with an active directory / ldap environment
I evaluated Safeboot, Pointsec, Safeguard (Utimaco) and Safeboot I
defentively the best

Why don't you have a look at Fox IT Control
http://www.foxt.com/products/it_controls.html

The part of the software dedicated to workstation control allows you to
encrypt part of the file systems using a group or a personal encryption key
so that you can have different roles with different keys (accounting people,
technicians, help desk etc..) and a user-personal encrypted folders at the
same time. With group encryption keys only members of the specific group can
have access to the docs in the encrypted folders, and that's good I think
(e.g. tech people don't need to know your ridicolous salary ;) ). You can
even have encrypted share folders (e.g. on a file server) and all docs are
encrypted/decrypted on-fly on the end point (so they "travel" encrypted on
you LAN).You can manage all the groups/keys quite easily from a centralized
server and you don't need to be a high-encryption-skilled guy actually. 

I installed it few times on customers site when the software was
RSA-then-TFS branded and the finally bought it. 

Hope this helps

Hello all,

I need to implement hard disk encryption in my enterprise and hence have
been evaluating safegaurd Easy 4.31 and safeboot. 

I have tested various facets (Encryption, management, installation, data
recovery, etc) of both the tools and both appear to be equally good.

Since i do not have much knowledge of hard disk encryption, i wanted to know
which tool is more effective and easy to manage.Or infact any other good
hard disk encryption tool in your knowledge. I want to implement the tool in
client server architecture for easy management.

 would appreciate some comments.

regards

Xaya
