The ease of use, and the fact that it is free. I have used other programs in the past, but it's always been a hassle. I've used other programs to encrypt drives and it's always been complicated and time-consuming. VeraCrypt is easy and quick, and it does the job. I have a laptop that is going to be used in the field, and I need something that is easy to use, and that's why I chose VeraCrypt. I've used it on my personal laptop, and I've used it to encrypt a storage drive. The only thing I dislike about it is that it's not available for Linux. I'm sure that it is out there, but I haven't found it yet. I'm using VeraCrypt to encrypt my laptop, so that I can keep my personal files safe. I'm also using.
