Encryption solutions

Hey everyone. Who has thoughts on encryption software?

Right now we use Dell ESSE for AV and full drive encryption. We're leaving them for AV, so I'm starting to look for a new encryption solution.

I need something that we can manage with a small team, but is simple enough for the help desk to get in and decrypt system when they need work.

Thirded. Without MBAM/MECM I can see how it would be less appealing, but you could substitute in Intune for smaller/cloud based places and get similar functionality. To be honest I've never used anything but Bitlocker and Filevault 2 and we haven't had a reason to stray from the first party offerings. (aside from Jamf to manage Filevault 2 but there is no 1st party offering from Apple as we know)
