The biggest drawback for us was no password recovery - lose the password, lose the data....

@Aaron,

TrueCrypt is a great product for individual use. But in a larger environment, it lacks significant enterprise 
deployment tools. IT staff can back up the Volume Header of encrypted disks for central management, but it requires 
direct contact with each system. There is no support for remote management, monitoring, or maintenance. Definitely use 
it at home and in smaller environments. (For small organizations it's hard to beat the price.) But I wouldn't recommend 
it for any type of enterprise rollout.
