DiskCryptor Reviews & Product Details

It's an open encryption software making it preferable for encrypting confidential data. It is able to encrypt whole disks or disk partitions, and even the partition containing operating system. Since it supports AES, TwoFish and Serpent encryption algorithms it offers full support of dynamic disks and also has transparent encryption. It also offers ability to create encrypted CD and DVD disks. It supports full encryption of external USB devices too. It offers multi boot options for encrypted operating system disks. It is also compatible with third-party bootloaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DiskCryptor's user interface is unique but does not match current trends and standards. Also it does not include automation option as we always need to manually command it to encrypt additional storage devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are dealing with an open-source and free application. It is downloaded from the official page and installed very easily and in a short time. Its interface is very intuitive and you will soon be ready to take advantage of all its features. The purpose of this tool is to help you securely store the most sensitive company data, thanks to the complex encryption algorithms it allows you to apply to your disk volumes (Twofish, Serpent, and AES). In this way, your information and data will only be accessible to those with whom you share the key. You can encrypt information from hard drives, partitions within them, external storage devices like pen drives, or create already encrypted CDs and DVDs. It is compatible with units in any type of file system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is incomprehensible that there is no version of the Disk Cryptor program for Ubuntu (Linux). You must also keep in mind that working with encrypted information is much more secure, but it is also slower, because before you can read or edit it, you have to decrypt it, and this takes time. It is also not allowed to encrypt only specific folders or files; they must always be entire volumes. The security of the encryption was one of its strong points and at the same time one of the weakest, because if it falls into the wrong hands, they will be able to access our data. Similarly, if you forget or lose your decryption keys, you will have no way to access your data ever again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Diskcryptor is an open source licensed tool, which is free and will help us encrypt partitions or data volumes on our hard drives in an ultra-secure way, including the operating system partition. The advantages are that:

- If our disks are stolen, there is little the thieves can do to access our data.

- It allows encrypting partitions even with the operating system installed by including a liveCD to boot with this tool.

- Using complex encryption algorithms like Twofish, AES, or Serpent.

- A tool with an easy and intuitive user interface, encrypting very quickly thanks to good resource management like RAM and processor, although logically the amount of data in the volume to be encrypted will also influence.

- Free download.

- Compatible with Windows and Ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we like least about diskcriptor is:

- After installation, you must restart the system obligatorily.

- If you lose the key, there is no way to decrypt the data in an emergency.

- If the disk volumes are very large, it will take a long time to perform the encryption.

- It does not allow encrypting individual folders on a disk, only partitions.

- If someone gets hold of the keys, we are completely vulnerable.

- Working with encrypted data is less usable than with unencrypted data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that encrypting a partition or a complete hard disk is very simple; it does not require great technical knowledge. It's enough to ask some concepts from experts in the field, and you can already make an encryption with the assurance that it will work well. The program allowed me to start the system by requesting a password, meaning that not everyone could see the data on the disk. The program performs encryption, and then the performance is excellent, as if the data were not encrypted. I should add that you can encrypt any internal or external disk, including disks and pendrives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the interface of the program; it seems very simple and lacks an assistant. Although the program is easy to use, the fact that it does not support several languages is unfortunate because, in the absence of an assistant, some options, if they are more advanced and with few technical skills, are simply not addressed properly.

diskcryptor is an application with many advantages among which we can mention that it is the application for the most complete data encryption of the market and the best thing is that it is completely free for domestic use, and your license is free, make an encrypted one hard disk partition is really very easy with its graphical interface that shows the options in a very clear and intuitive way, once the disk is encrypted its performance is as if you had not made any encryption, which makes it the most efficient application and efizaz existing in the software market, an excellent feature and the ability to encrypt cd and dvd disc, in addition to usb memories, in the start the program offers a lot of options so that your data will be well protected by password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I do not like is that the program only offers support for windows, which I think is quite deficient, since for other operating systems although there are some options, none are complete as diskcryptor, but unfortunately does not have the ability to work in other operating system other than windows, and it is quite convenient to improve this feature, in order to reach a larger number of users.

There are many advantages and features of the application that I like, to start is completely free and open source, we can all have diskcryptor installed in our windows operating system, the encryption options range from encrypt a partition of the hard disk, to partition an full hard disk, you can even encrypt the disk that has installed the operating system, for it has the possibility of creating a bootable disk LiveCD, to ensure that no problems occur during the encryption operation, to have ready the encryption of the partitions or the hard disk, we can access this only if we have the password, which can be alphanumeric or have a key that can be configured by any means of external storage, it is important to note that the efficiency of the encrypted system is compared to a system not encrypted .

I have no negatives to say about the program, however if I would like it to be multiplatform, and the encryption time of the data was faster, because when encrypting my hard drive I had to wait a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application has several points in its favor that are positive and make it a reference:

1.- It is very simple to use, fast and intuitive its functions.

2.- You can encrypt partitions or complete hard disks.

3.- The application is very small and it is a downloadable file with easy installation.

4.- It allows to save the state of the encryption in case of not finishing the complete process and to be able to finish it later.

5.- It is open source and it is added that it is completely free for personal and business use.

6.- It allows the creation of bootable disk to encrypt the disk without the need to enter the operating system, this disk is used in case of wanting to encrypt and protect the main disk.

7.- You can protect yourself with a password to access the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I do not like about the software:

1.- It takes a lot of time if the hard disk has a lot of data, which makes the wait a long one.

2.- The program interface should certainly be improved since it can be more modern to make it more attractive.

3.- If you lose the password you will have to format the hard disk, since there is no way to read the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that in the first place it is a completely free program, it costs nothing to acquire and use the program, once installed it offers a high performance once the data of the partition or hard disk has been encrypted, comparing it with a system not encrypted the development of the system is quite good, since it does not seem to be encrypted, the most important thing is the options that the program offers you once you have encrypted the data, since to login you are asked for an alphanumeric password that only allows to start the pc by entering that password and go further, without the introduction of that password you can not read in any way the encrypted datps on the hard drive.

I do not like that the program only has compatibility with the Windows operating system, I think it is necessary for this program to expand its catalog until it even manages to encrypt cell phones, apart from covering other systems such as linux and mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DiskCryptor is open-source software, GPL licensed and free, that will allow us to encrypt disk volumes or partitions on our computer, including external storage devices like USB drives. This way, our information will always be secure and unreadable in the face of potential thefts or hacker attacks. It is possible to encrypt a disk even if there is an operating system on it. The algorithms it supports are the powerful and nearly unbreakable AES-256, Twofish, and Serpent (symmetric ciphers with block encryption). Thanks to the encryption performed by DiskCryptor, we can send sensitive information to other users without fear of it falling into the wrong hands. Among other functions, we can also create encrypted DVDs. The time DiskCryptor takes to encrypt is usually fast, depending on the capacity of the disk or volume. It can hide disk drives, in addition to encrypting them. Simple interface to understand and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only works on Windows. Keep in mind that this tool makes the data on the partition to be encrypted unreadable, meaning the risk of losing it is high if we are unable to remember the password. Similarly, our sensitive data may be exposed to users with bad intentions if they manage to get the decryption key. Encrypted data is more difficult to manage, as you must decrypt with DiskCryptor before you can work with the disk. It does not allow encrypting just a single folder. It does not have mechanisms to facilitate online transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is that it is a downloadable application of very small size, and it is downloadable, it is also open source and completely free, it makes an encryption of the partitions of your disks, or the full encryption of your hard disks, which means a complete password security protection of the data, files and information in general that you have stored, it is also possible to create a bootable LIVECD in order to guarantee a more efficient work of the encryption work. Encryption takes time depending on the size and amount of data in the hard disks, however it is done in a prudential time and according to the activity that is doing.

the application is completely portable, because due to its light weight it can be carried on a pendrive and transporatarla any of the other equipment that require data encryption and thus protect the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there is very little that can be said about the negative of the application, without it is convenient to mention that the graphical interface is very simple, and I think it can be improved, it seems an application of the 80s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
