Best for endpoint protection sold through MSPs
WithSecure Elements bundles endpoint protection, ransomware rollback, patching and managed detection and response. The MSP list price is €16.90 a month with no stated unit, and business prices are not published, so you can't tell what a small team would pay.
Who WithSecure Elements is for
- 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
Who WithSecure Elements is not for
- 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
Why WithSecure Elements gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money€16.90 a month for the MSP Protect bundle, €20.90 for Proactive, against $4.50 in the middle of what antivirus tools charge. Those are partner list prices and the unit isn't stated, so the real cost is unclear.
- CFree plan and trialA 30-day trial with no credit card. There's no free plan.
- BFeaturesEndpoint security, ransomware rollback, patching, mobile protection and managed detection and response, with no gap in the listing for the core job. Network Gateway for mobile is limited to selected countries.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing shows an admin platform plus identity and device connections (Intune, Entra ID, Workspace ONE) to set up first.
- APlatforms and integrationsWeb console, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, with Intune, Workspace ONE, Google Workspace, Samsung Knox and Entra ID connections.

Keep WithSecure Elements, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace WithSecure Elements 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.
It costs $226.57 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE and Google Workspace among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. WithSecure Elements’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.
