We are also using Credant for the same reasons.

We are using Credant mobile guardian for endpoint encryption. We have
reviewed a hand full of other products before going with Credant, the
biggest reasons for choosing Credant is that from our testing, Credant
generated the least user impact and offered best compatibility with varying
device models from multiple manufacturers.

We currently use McAfee's Safeboot/Endpoint Encryption software to encrypt
our users laptops. Our PC Hardware folks do not like McAfee, we did when it
was not owned by McAfee but you know how that goes. 
  
Anyway, I have been tasked when helping to find a possible replacement. What
software package are you using to encrypt your users laptops. Or for that
matter, if you are not, what is your rational.
