I love it, but it’s not an answer to normal people yet. The 0.01% of us who know and understand encryption, cool. But getting ready for the main world? Bitlocker lets people click a button and walk away. Administrators make a few small changes and have the whole fleet bitlockered with centrally managed recovery keys should anyone have an issue. Does Veracrypt offer better security? Yes. Would I be thrilled to roll it to my clients? Yes. Would it be an absolute nightmare to deploy and manage across an organization? Yes.
I’m sad because this is great and the answer to much but stands no chance when you move past the “single user who is IT literate” user group.
