Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 32 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade
WithSecure Elements is a cloud security platform covering endpoint protection and detection, exposure management, identity security and managed detection and response. It is aimed at mid-sized businesses and MSPs, with annual, monthly or usage-based licensing. Published prices exist only for MSP bundles, in euros.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about WithSecure Elements, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | €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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day trial with no credit card. There's no free plan. |
| Features | B | Endpoint 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web console, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, with Intune, Workspace ONE, Google Workspace, Samsung Knox and Entra ID connections. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- MSPs bundling security for small and mid-size clients
- Mid-sized companies wanting endpoint and exposure tools in one console
Worth knowing
- Business prices are not published; the For Business page sends buyers to a partner or sales contact.
- 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.

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 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.
