In their own words
DriveStrike
DriveStrike helps organizations manage devices remotely when they are lost, stolen, or used remotely. Administrators can view mapped locations and location history, lock users out, reset passcodes, reboot devices, initiate a firmware lock, or delete data from a DriveStrike-enabled device. The features menu also lists KillStick for offline wiping. For encryption, DriveStrike integrates BitLocker on Windows and offers help with VeraCrypt deployments; its features page says native encryption support is coming soon. The product supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Its Android EMM tools configure app, security, and device policies. Administrators can organize devices by department, location, or ownership and delegate management. Deployment options include email invitations, group policies or over-the-air push, individual installation, and remote desktop installation. DriveStrike states that it is HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and DoD compliant, and that live support professionals are available 24/7/365. Pricing depends on the number of protected devices each month, but exact plan prices are not shown. A 30-day trial includes all features and requires a credit card.
