Hard Disk Encryption - Recommendation

Anyone can provide some suggestions on Hard disk encryption software.  Something easy to manage with a centralized console.  I am currently using Sophos as my EndPoint and not sure if I should use their solution for hard disk encryption as well.

Any better alternative out there?

Interesting, didnt think about the encryption from Microsoft.  I have Windows 7 and 10 Professional.  Can it work?

Best to use what you have and invested money in, that applies to the Windows option too.

Both BitLocker and Sophos Encryption would definitely be in the final list for evaluation.  

I know the ultimate goal is to encrypt the hard drive.  But are there any feature in hard disk encryption software which is just too good to miss out on.

Another very nice bitlocker-exclusive feature is described in my article.

I think I will plan for an OS refresh since Windows 7 will be EOS in another three years.  At this moment if there are requirement for encryption I'll address it on a case by case basis and will either upgrade them to Windows 10 or purchase the encryption license from Sophos.

Thanks.
