# What is the best encryption software for securing sensitive files without degrading user workflow speed?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi! I'm currently exploring the best <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/encryption-software">encryption software</a> for securing sensitive files without degrading user workflow speed. Performance impact is one of the first things that kills adoption when rolling out encryption tools, so finding something that works in the background without adding friction is the real challenge. The encryption software category has a lot of options, but these five keep coming up in this specific conversation:</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/progress-moveit/reviews"><strong>Progress MOVEit</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Well known for secure, automated file transfer. Does the performance hold up when large volumes of files are moving frequently, or does throughput take a hit under load?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/virtru-secure-share/reviews"><strong>Virtru Secure Share</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Encryption happens at the point of sharing rather than as a separate step. How does it handle large file sizes specifically?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tresorit/reviews"><strong>Tresorit</strong></a><strong>:</strong> End-to-end encrypted cloud storage that reviewers often describe as seamless for everyday collaboration. Does sync speed hold up compared to non-encrypted alternatives?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/keeper-password-manager/reviews"><strong>Keeper Password Manager</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Brings encryption to credential and file management with a reportedly light performance footprint. Is the encryption layer genuinely invisible to end users in day-to-day use?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-bitlocker/reviews"><strong>Microsoft BitLocker</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Device-level encryption built into Windows with no additional overhead. But how well does it cover file sharing workflows beyond the device itself?</li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For those who've tested these in production environments, which gave you the cleanest user experience? Are there specific workflows where you still noticed slowdowns?</p>

&lt;p&gt;The best fit usually depends on whether you’re securing files at rest, in transit, or during collaboration. Tools that encrypt in the background or inside existing sharing workflows tend to see better adoption than tools that require users to take extra manual steps.&lt;/p&gt;
