# What is the top encryption software for avoiding performance impact on large file operations and transfers?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2 community! I've been looking for the top <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/encryption-software">encryption software</a> for avoiding performance impact on large file operations and transfers so we don't have to keep choosing between security and speed. We deal with large file transfers daily and ever since we tightened up our encryption requirements, the performance complaints from the team have been hard to ignore. </p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">A few options from the encryption software category worth looking at:</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> Built for high-volume automated transfer with consistent throughput even during data spikes. Does performance hold up when large files are moving at high frequency throughout the day?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tresorit/reviews"><strong>Tresorit</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Generally fast upload and download speeds, though syncing larger folders can slow down. How does it compare to unencrypted alternatives when dealing with large batches regularly?</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> Designed for frictionless secure sharing with a high satisfaction score. Does the encryption layer add noticeable latency as file sizes increase?</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> Low overhead for local device-level encryption. Does it cover the full transfer security requirement for teams moving large files externally though?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/filevault/reviews"><strong>FileVault</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Apple's native disk encryption with a similar low-overhead approach on Mac. Has anyone benchmarked transfer speeds on FileVault-encrypted devices at scale?</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 running large file operations daily, which platform gave you the best balance of strong encryption and consistent performance? Any specific configurations that made a difference?</p>

&lt;p&gt;For large file operations, I’d separate local encryption from transfer encryption. Native disk encryption often has minimal day-to-day performance impact, but it does not fully solve secure external transfer requirements on its own.&lt;/p&gt;
