Avoid attacks by 2-way DNS filtering

Very useful. Big help as users will click on links or try to enter suspicious websites

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.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

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

They just get it right!

Great Co, Great Product and excellent customer service - Heimdal Security stand proud for showing the industry how it should be done!

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

too expensive and not available to smaller clients.

Reasons for switching to Heimdal Threat Prevention

BitDefender are rubbish when it comes to support and the product is tired.

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

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 Threat Prevention

The features which Heimdal offer, far outweighed ESETs offerings.

AntiVirus and More

PROS

The software does not take many resources, updates automatically, endpoints can be put in Groups for certain policies, the inventory tool is useful, and installation is quick.

CONS

It is based in another country, and customer support is on different hours.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

Heimdal had many more options available.

Reasons for switching to Heimdal Threat Prevention

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.

Peace of mind

Support is second to none - very responsive and helpful. Peace of mind is absolute and the admin overview and ability to remediate remotely is fantastic. It is also built for the work-at-home culture when have settled into after covid.

PROS

It is founded on a deep understanding of the threat landscape and uses all the tools to mitigate that threat.

CONS

Can throw up some Java errors on Mac and the interface is a little clunky although a new one is on the way.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

Same reasons as for ESET - head and shoulders above the alternatives

Reasons for switching to Heimdal Threat Prevention

Admin is simple - support is way better and features are more robust.

Very satisfied

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.

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.

A very intuitive and thorough security product

The customer experience and support from Heimdal have been outstanding. Their representatives were on hand every step of the way and couldn't do enough to help.

PROS

It was clear from the start that Heimdal's security offering was very comprehensive and offered some of the best functionality on the market.

CONS

I least like the cost as once you have added the various elements this can prove pretty costly for an SMB. The pricing would be much more palatable for a larger firm.

Reason for choosing Heimdal Threat Prevention

Their offering seemed much more comprehensive and their pricing was favourable at the time.

PROS

First of all, for a free trial/free product, this is one of the most complex ones. I had paid products that do not offer so much even if they were paid. Also, the support for the free trial/free product is there even if you did not both it.

CONS

As of now I do not have any issues to report regarding the product. All in all a good product.
