About Heimdal DNS Security

Heimdal Threat Prevention is an advanced DNS security solution that adds hunting on top of traditional endpoint detection and response. It achieves this by filtering traffic at the levels of the DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS on both your endpoints and your network.
Designed to enrich any existing antivirus, Heimdal Threat Prevention goes beyond standard signature-based detection. Its machine learning-powered capabilities allow it to spot both known and unknown malware strains for complete protection against cyberattacks. With as much as 97% of malware being polymorphic these days, this is particularly important in a successful digital security strategy.
Through proprietary DarkLayer GUARD and VectorN Detection technologies, Heimdal Threat Prevention allows you to gain code-autonomous protection against multiple attack vectors. This includes data leaks, network malware, and even ransomware.
DarkLayer GUARD adds advanced endpoint and network traffic filtering capabilities paired with a unique Threat to Process Correlation (TTPC) feature that allows you to identify threats, regardless of whether they are a user or a process.

Pros:

Easy to use and highly effective. Short time from implementing to full use as all settings are predefined - you can of course change those.

Cons:

It cost money :-) Heimdal separate functions in new modules. Everybody needs to make money but some functions could be under existing modules.

Reasons for choosing Heimdal DNS Security

Heimdal has great support and an easy to use dashboard. Symantec do not have 2-way DNS filtering

It's not just the feature rich software its that fact that this company stand right behind their product with nothing short of excellent support. They know it's important to get to clients promptly and they know they need to have actionable knowledge. They excel at both.

the web ui is a little cluttered and not easy to navigate. I'm learning to live with it's foibles and the Pros outway the cons.

Heimdal - Does the job

The install was incredibly straight forward, and we've barely had to touch it since. We use it for ourselves and recommend it to all of our customers.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The best feature is its complete ease of use. To the untrained, it may look like it doesn't have many features. But that's because it is all managed from behind, and you don't need to touch it on the endpoint.

Cons:

We do have the occasional oddity where a program stops working or a port is blocked, and this can be Heimdal being too over protective.

Reasons for choosing Heimdal DNS Security

If you combine all of the features offered, and the price it would take to purchase all the features differently, it made complete sense. So it was a financial decision.

Reasons for switching to Heimdal DNS Security

The features which Heimdal offer, far outweighed ESETs offerings.

Webroot has no customer service. When we had an issue, I had to read through pages of technical papers online. And the solution was not acceptable.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

We bought the product to get a "setup and forget" product to easily patch known 3rd party software on our company pc's. Today we have ended up using it for elevating rights when needed to manually install software and also DNS filtering to prevent users from reaching bad sites and services when not connected our sites. We are happy with the product.

Cons:

We often do see false positives in Darklayer guard which we use time reporting to Heimdal. However Heimdal has promised to look into how we can easier report such a site to Heimdal for global white listing.

Excellent supplemental protection

Since installing Heimdal I've never had to clean up from a single infection. I rarely think about it. It just works.

Functionality

Pros:

Since this software is not saturating the market as McAfee, Symantec, or AVG have, it is never specifically targeted by malware developers. Therefore it maintains a high rate of detection for zero-day threats with an acceptable rate of false positives.

Cons:

After installing the software I frequently received spammy systray notifications begging me to upgrade, interfering with my full-screen HTPC GUI. However, emailing support I was able to resolve this issue.

I did not find anything to dislike in the improved versions unlike in previous version in which the app used to change a DNS setting.
