After much deliberation, we've decided to accept the built-in FileVault application to encrypt the homefolder of Macbook users. It uses AES-128 and allows administration level entry in the e-discovery scenarios. The 3rd party applications for full disk encryption not only drew too much off performance but did not allow for recovery easily enough. Todd A.

Any advice on a product that can be managed centrally and utilizes a reasonable amount of disk space and CPU cycles?
