Heimdal report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for MSPs that want security modules from one vendor
Heimdal bundles antivirus, DNS filtering and a SOC into a platform, sold as modules. No prices are published and the site points buyers to a pricing request form. The pages read list no endpoint operating systems.
Who Heimdal is for
- Fits if you run an MSP that already uses ConnectWise or Autotask
- Works for teams that want DNS filtering and antivirus from one vendor
Who Heimdal is not for
- 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
Why Heimdal gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against this category's $2.58 to $6.50 a month; the listing says it is by quote. The site points to a pricing request form.
- DFree plan and trialA trial sign-up and a demo are offered but trial terms were not stated on the pages read.
- CFeaturesAntivirus, DNS filtering and SOC services, sold separately and in bundles, so the cost and the job depend on the mix chosen.
- CEase of useBusiness product with a console and agents to roll out; no store rating is on record and the listing shows setup work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA web console with ConnectWise RMM, Autotask PSA, HaloPSA, Cisco Meraki and Palo Alto integrations. No operating systems or phone apps are listed.

Keep Heimdal, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Heimdal you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 56 other antivirus apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- It plugs into other products, ConnectWise RMM, Autotask PSA and HaloPSA among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Heimdal’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Heimdal?

Its modules cover next-gen antivirus and firewall, DNS security, patch management, privileged access, email security and threat hunting, with a 24x7 SOC service on top.

Worth knowing

- Modules are sold separately and in platform bundles, so the cost depends on the mix chosen.
- The pages read list no endpoint operating systems, so platform support is unconfirmed.
- The homepage offers a demo and a trial sign-up, but trial terms were not stated on the pages read.
