Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 14 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade
Heimdal is a cloud-based cybersecurity platform for enterprises, MSPs and MSSPs. 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. It is sold through a quote request rather than a public price list.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Heimdal, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No prices are published and the site points buyers to a pricing request form.
- 1
Best for MSPs that want security modules from one vendor
Heimdal bundles antivirus, DNS filtering and a SOC into a platform, sold as modules.

It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Next-gen antivirus and firewall
Endpoint security modules include antivirus, firewall and ransomware encryption protection.
- 4
DNS security
DNS filtering is offered for both the network and the endpoint.
- 5
Patch and asset management
Vulnerability management with patch and asset management and unified endpoint tools such as remote desktop and BitLocker management.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 14 of 56
That is against the other antivirus apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No 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. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A trial sign-up and a demo are offered but trial terms were not stated on the pages read. |
| Features | C | Antivirus, DNS filtering and SOC services, sold separately and in bundles, so the cost and the job depend on the mix chosen. |
| Ease of use | C | Business 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web console with ConnectWise RMM, Autotask PSA, HaloPSA, Cisco Meraki and Palo Alto integrations. No operating systems or phone apps are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- MSPs and MSSPs reselling security modules
- Mid-size and enterprise IT teams consolidating several security tools
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the site points buyers to a pricing request form.
- 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.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
14/56
Other antivirus apps it is graded above
Heimdal's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 14 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade, and level with 11.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 21 of 56) and worst on free plan and trial (D, above 12).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 57 antivirus apps we grade, cut by the letter each got. Heimdal’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 8 of 56
- DFree plan and trialAbove 12 of 56
- CFeaturesAbove 7 of 56
- CEase of useAbove 2 of 56
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 21 of 56
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
