The added security of having all of my data encrypted as well as the ability to wipe the drive remotely using iCloud if necessary. The strength of the full disk encryption. File encryption is a background process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The idea of being unable to access the drive if I lose the password and encryption key. No option to encrypt removable storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entire contents of the startup drive are encrypted. When your computer is powered off, the drive’s data is fully unrecoverable without a password. It also lets you use Find My Mac to wipe your drive in a matter of seconds remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are no negatives to using FileVault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FileVault has given me the opportunity to save all my materials on my Mac. I never have to worry that I will lose my materials and if my computer were to be stolen it's protected. I use my Mac on daily basis for both personal and business. Thus it's essential I have a secure backup system in place for no security risk or files lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I do not like about FileVault is with just like any software on a Mac it takes time to learn the functions and process. Another thing I sometimes find difficult with FileVault is the inability to manage settings unless signed in under the owner. The difficult part is by using my Mac for personal and business sometimes I want to determine my own settings for personal documents that are unrelated to the business files.

FileVault data encryption is built-in into latest version of MacOS and for this reason it's totally seamless. FileVault also uses the most modern data encryptions protocols what making it very secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In opposite to other data encryption software such as Microsoft BitLocker, FileVault seems to affect computers performance badly, even the latest generation of MacBook Pro with extremely fast SSD drives. Moreover, FileVault have a few "known issues" that several users reported and that we experience in our company too, where some computers refuse to boot because of some kind of corruption with FileVault, so we had to turn off encryption (de-encrypt all datas) to get computer booting back again and then turn it on again, then it work for a few months. We experienced this issue on MacOS Sierra (10.11) but not so far with MacOS High-Sierra (10.12), however since High Sierra is on the market for only 2 months and that FileVault remain unchanged in this version, we anticipate some issues later. Another known issue with FileVault is in business environment where computers are hooked to Active Directory for account password management, there's often some poor syncing between AD password and FileVault password causing headache to users.

I like that this tool helps to prevent unauthorized access to my important documents, media files and content on my startup disk for my computer. It makes everything so much secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only disadvantage is that if you forget or lose your password then your files are also lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It Safely stores client information. What ever your reason, it will encrypt your data on the fly and will work seamlessly in the background. It forces all users to have to re-enter their password, this way the data security is kept at maximum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
