Each of these three products have their respective strengths and weaknesses in an enterprise environment, but there is one problem that all three of them share, and that is that they are an enterprise solution. You wouldn't want to use this or pay for this for home or small business use.

The best solution that I have found for the home and small business is Truecrypt.]]></description>
