    Hi Ouch,

     

    Check out the links below:

    Desktop encryption appears to be on a per-PC basis where Endpoint Encryption should give you central management.

    Thanks!

    The Symantec recommendation for pure disk encryption, is to go with Symantec Endpoint Encryption.  This tends to come out with the updates the faster, and appears to get more of the development time.  Plus it also includes the Removeable Media Encyption bits too.

    Typically, we'd only recommend someone go for Symantec Encryption Desktop, when they expect to require its mail/file-share encryption capabilities as well.
