Pros We deploy Heimdal to replaced Sophos and immediately discovered that their response times and professional responses from their support team are simply exceptional, direct access to subject matter experts on a tricky subject. Absolutely brilliant. Cons The setup did require some in depth knowledge of hte product particularly around getting the policies setup correctly for our particiular setup. Documentation was not always there, their support team however was. Alternatives considered [WatchGuard Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/233856/WatchGuard-EPDR/) Reason for choosing Heimdal Patch & Asset Management The price point was better with Heimdal, also the over all features were better in Heimdal. Switched from [Intercept X Endpoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/151731/Sophos-Endpoint-Protection/) Both price point and the ability to use patch management in Heimdal, we also use different defensive technologies at our permiter to increase our over all protection,.

We had it for over 5 years and we have only had to help the tool update Chrome on one occation and that was not the tools fault but Chrome. They also have a PAM solution which is great. Pros It just works! For a small IT department like our, this is what we want. Everything just runs smoothly without any need of help from technicians, it's a dream come true. There are around 300 applications and they are always adding more. Third-party patches are applied automatically without any need of configuration from technicians. They just gets patched. It is great. You can't ask for more! Cons The infinity management for your own patches and applications could be a little better. The encryption sometimes break the installation. So can trust it and always need to test the deployment first. With regular msi / exe installation you can just run it without testing on other platforms. Switched from [Asset Panda](https://www.capterra.com/p/142562/Asset-Panda/) Better solution and the patching was done automatically.

IT Helpdesk Agent Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Product But Can Be Limited" March 17, 2022 4.0 Overall its not too bad of a product, my only concern is the amount of false positives we have received as a business and now we are a little desensitized when an alert comes through saying High Risk as it is normally just a PC that requires a reboot after a windows update. This also comes through when you set a custom update delay which I also raised with the internal support team. Pros I like how easy the product is to use, manage, deploy and make changes on the Management Console. Cons The reporting looks good on first glance, but is not consistent and shows errors inside a small time frame and not a large time frame. When checking the console, these flagged errors do not appear. You also cannot make the reports appear when you would like and the only customisation you have is that you can change the frequency of how often in a week these come through (Minimum 3 days, Maximum 7 days).

IT administrator Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fire and forget" February 12, 2026 5.0 Once the installer is set up via group policy, it's fire and forget. Default endpoint policy covers basic windows and 3rd party patching. Easy adjustments of policies and policy assignments. Pros Rollout via Group Policy and msi installer and the default endpoint policy settings are all you need to get going. Cons You need to build your license integrated msi yourself, which only works with the HeimdalLatestVersion.msi, but NOT with the Heimdal\_Thor\_Launcher.msi . So make sure you download the right file for rollout. Alternatives considered [NinjaOne](https://www.capterra.com/p/184229/NinjaOne/) Reason for choosing Heimdal Patch & Asset Management Higher degree of automation in Heimdal, especially on PEDM. Review Source MN Mohammed N. Head of Department Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable Patch Management with Smart Features" June 30, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Heimdal Patch & Asset Management has been positive — it streamlines patching and asset tracking effectively. Pros Heimdal Patch & Asset Management offers seamless automation and intuitive scheduling, making patch deployment effortless. The centralized dashboard gives clear visibility and control over assets across the network Cons The interface can be improved further, additionally, more granular reporting options would help in overall tracking Switched from [Carbon Black Endpoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/168868/Cb-Predictive-Security-Cloud/) Found Heimdal value for money and with good features Review Source LB Luke B. IT Director Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Heimdal: Patch Management Simplified" May 27, 2025 5.0 Heimdal has been simple to get deployed on all my endpoints. Working with sales and onboarding has been a pleasant experience as well. Pros Heimdal provides an intuitive interface that makes it easy to identify which assets require patching and for what applications. The built in vulnerability rating scores on individual patches allow me to prioritize those that are the greatest risk. Even better, the automatic patching keeps the majority of my applications up to date and even offers an option to patch unsupported apps by uploading the updated files and pushing them out to the endpoints. Cons I have not had any issues with Heimdal thus far, it has been an excellent product that simplifies my patch management for my device operating systems and applications. Switched from [Action1](https://www.capterra.com/p/180609/Action1-RMM/) Heimdal provides a unified platform for patch and asset management to integrate with MXDR services. Previously, I needed several vendors to achieve the same goals. Review Source PE Pete E. Head of IT Services Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product for security and patch management." April 4, 2025 5.0 Overall the product is slick, has many features, and is excellent at blocking encryption processes. Pros Heimdal is easy to use, has granular settings and permissions, and includes a light theme as well as dark. Cons The remote control function could be easier to configure and use. Switched from [ManageEngine Endpoint Central](https://www.capterra.com/p/170018/ManageEngine-Desktop-Central/) EndPoint Central was becoming slower to navigate and there were too many options to work through. Heimdal is slicker and easier to use. Review Source JA Josh A. CISO Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Heimdal is amazing" March 24, 2025 5.0 The experience has been really great, \[sensitive content hidden\] has been an amazing sales rep and has helped getting everything set up for us. Pros The panel is very easy to navigate, It reports on the apps installed and lets you know the version each is on and legacy management is amazing for installing your own apps. Cons Honestly, so far I don't really have any complaints. the hardest part was understanding how to push apps with the legacy management but after I understood it it was a lot easier Alternatives considered [Barracuda Managed XDR](https://www.capterra.com/p/10027795/Barracuda-Managed-XDR/) Reason for choosing Heimdal Patch & Asset Management More bang for our buck, we got several more tools than barracuda provided for only a little more money. Switched from [CrowdStrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/147662/CrowdStrike-Falcon/) They continually let us down. The reporting was incredibly vague and did not aid us in stopping threats Review Source NM Nudrat M. Customer Success Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful and Important" December 22, 2025 5.0 Overall our clients have been very positive about it and that's why We keep selling them as third party , as it simplifies patching, improves visibility, and saves time through reliable automation. Pros What our client like most about Heimdal Patch & Asset Management is how easy it is to use and how it takes care of patching automatically without needing constant attention. Cons What we hear from our clients is their experience with Heimdal Patch & Asset Management Reporting and dashboard customization could be improved Review Source nS namdev S. it administrator Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "good product " December 2, 2024 4.0 good experience for implimentation and support, only DLP (usb block) need to improve in the same. Pros windows updates, windows security, asset managment. Cons windows update and ransomware prevention Review Source RG Romy G. Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy about the support" March 17, 2022 5.0 The overall experience was good especially that the HEIMDAL Support is very fast. Pros The Heimdal Agent is easy to use and helps with the deployment of known applications but with other custom applications that are not in their patching system. The pricing is also better than the average. Cons I want more features but I have to wait for other priorities. Reason for choosing Heimdal Patch & Asset Management Because it's cheaper and a friend recommended them. Review Source MN Mick N. Teamlead, IT infrastructure Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qucik and easy deployment - value from day 1" March 23, 2022 4.0 Good, i would buy it again. Pros Quick and easy deployment and management - gives value from day 1. Cons None really, if anything some more features regarding Windows updates would be good. Review Source PB Paul B. IT Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The one stop shop" January 12, 2022 5.0 Overall the experience has been excellent. We've an assigned Success Manager who helped us go through the deployment and configuration stage. Explaining what each individual check box and option did so we could decide if it was something we needed/wanted. We realised pretty quickly too then that there was options we could enable later on if we needed without too much hassle. On the support side they appear to have a excellent team who are very quick to come back with the right answer. Pros The product has Patch Management, Asset Management, Security, MDM and Remote Support all in one suite. For me this makes the management of multiple physical sites much easier. Cons Deployment to mobile devices and new machines. There is no device discovery option so you need to be able to get to the physical device to install the application. Alternatives considered [WatchGuard Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/233856/WatchGuard-EPDR/)[Syxsense](https://www.capterra.com/p/141605/Patch-Manager/) Review Source MR Matt R. IT Network Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Elegant solution" March 7, 2022 4.0 Pros The platform is an excellent way to automate patching for both Windows updates and third party updates. The list of supported 3rd party apps continues to grow, and setup is straightforward. A more complex module exists for bespoke deployments of bespoke/naturally unsupported software. This platform has allowed us to conform with CyberEssentials+ patch deployment. Cons We have encountered a few bugs when using the software, all of which the Heimdal team have been keen to help us work around and ultimately fix. We've submitted a feature request to reword the reboot agent popup as it is currently somewhat misleading, requiring additional user training. While imperfect, I do believe it is the best available option for the problem it solves. Review Source CB Christian B. Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" January 25, 2022 5.0 Great experience. Many blocked outbound and inbound traffic. Pros This is a great product that requires little action of part of the user and runs in the background. It is also not cpu or ram intensive. Cons I would like more notifications on any patches or blocked connections. Also, I think the price is a little too high. Review Source ML Mark L. ICT Support Technician Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best patching app" January 25, 2022 5.0 Pros Its so easy to use with a brilliant user interface. Hardly any input is needed, it just sits and does it's job. Cons Nothing, compared to our last app, this is so much better. Switched from [GFI LanGuard](https://www.capterra.com/p/88911/GFI-LanGuard/) The UI was clunky Review Source TJ Therkel J. IT-Consultant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Patch management software" October 14, 2021 4.0 Pros Ease of use: took only a few minutes to set it up. Great value: we are saving a lot of man hours, not having to manually update our software, compared to the low cost of the product. Cons Language compatibility: we have had to update Foxit Reader manually for some time, as it defaulted back to english when updated by Heimdal, instead of the danish version that we needed. All of our other software has stayed on danish language when updated by Heimdal. Alternatives considered [Ninite Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/228416/Ninite/) Review Source ED Emil D.

Account Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great patching solution" April 22, 2025 5.0 It's great, both as an admin and as a user. As an admin you will get a great overview and compliance insight, and the user gets an almost uninterupted experience with a serverly improved level of security. Pros Heimdal's P&A module is in my opinion the best hyper automated patching solution. It can withstand thirdpary patches, Microsoft updates and my own applications - and addtionally, i am getting a full asset view of the whole environment. Cons Sometimes the reboot promt isn't the greatest and the catalogue of applications cloud be bigger Review Source CS Colin S. Service Delivery Manager Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Heimdal patch and asset management at a media company" June 6, 2025 5.0 It's a great product, it keeps the auditors happy because I can demonstrate that patching is happening, it keeps the users happy because they don't need to contact the Help Desk to update software and it keeps IT happy because we are more secure. Pros It's very easy to use and allows requires very little administration once running. The policy is simple to deploy. Cons Navigating the system could be easier, it is sometimes hard to find what I am looking for and reporting could be more flexible. Review Source SS Simon S. Information Assurance and Security Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flexible, effective, and informative" April 15, 2025 5.0 Heimdal Patch & Asset Management is of the same high quality and innovation as their other products. If I was setting up a green-field enterprise, I wouldn't hesitate in deploying the Heimdal Suite as the heart of our security toolset. Pros The simplicity of use and the clear visibility of what's needed, and what is being done across the estate, and each device in particular. I particularly like the status information and control which is available to the end user, and the range of software packages covered. Asses information is rich and workable data. Cons Sometimes, very rarely, it could tell me that an app needed an update but took an age to enumerate, obtain, and apply the patch. Review Source AB Allan B. Head of IT Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My new trusted partner in patching" June 18, 2025 5.0 Very positive, it has saved me so much time and brought everything back into a centralised dashboard. Patching is easier now, more efficient and quicker to complete. Pros Automation of patch management, centralised console and at a good price. Also very good at patching applications, such as Adobe and browsers. Cons Configuration options can be a bit confusing but the support from Heimdal was excellent. Air-gapped support would be advantageous if we could download updates to an on-premise server.
