Heimdal vs WithSecure Elements (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Heimdal if

• Fits if you run an MSP that already uses ConnectWise or Autotask
• Works for teams that want DNS filtering and antivirus from one vendor

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a published price, as buyers fill in a request form
• Pricey if you add modules, since they are sold separately and the cost depends on the mix
• Watch out: trial terms were not stated on the pages read
• Watch out: no endpoint operating systems are listed on the pages read

Pick WithSecure Elements if

• Fits if you run IT for a few firms or a small company and want protection, patching and detection in one console
• Works for teams who already manage devices through Intune or Entra ID

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a posted price: business pricing goes through a partner or sales
• Pricey if you are one person or a household, with MSP bundles at €16.90 and up against a few dollars for ordinary antivirus
• Watch out: price depends on devices or identities, and the listing doesn't say which basis the €16.90 uses
• Not for you if you only want a plain virus scanner, as this is a managed security platform

Heimdal

WithSecure Elements

• The euro MSP prices are recommended retail figures and the page does not state the per-unit basis.
• Pricing is based on devices for endpoint bundles and on user identities for identity bundles.
• Network Gateway for mobile is available in selected countries only.
