Compare between Heimdal Security and other vendors

Heimdal is widely regarded as a strong cybersecurity solution, especially for users looking for layered, proactive protection. Its antivirus software has shown a high malware detection rate—around 98% in some tests—with low impact on system performance.

Heimdal offers three pricing tiers for home users. The Next-Gen Antivirus plan costs $59.95 per year for up to three PCs. The Threat Prevention Home plan, focused on blocking threats before they reach your system, is $69.95 per year. The most comprehensive option, Premium Security Home, which includes both antivirus and proactive threat prevention features, is priced at $99.95 per year. All plans include 24/7 support and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Heimdal Security is owned by Marlin Equity Partners, a global investment firm. Marlin acquired Heimdal in 2020, giving the company broader resources and support to expand its cybersecurity offerings across international markets.

Heimdal Security does not offer a free antivirus solution. Their free product, Heimdal Free, is a software updater for Windows PCs that automatically updates vulnerable applications to enhance security.  For antivirus protection, Heimdal provides paid products such as Next-Gen Antivirus Home and Premium Security Home, which include features like ransomware encryption protection, network security, and secure connection capabilities to safeguard critical assets. 

Their products include DNS Security, Patch & Asset Management, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Email Security, and Remote Desktop solutions. These tools are engineered to protect critical assets and endpoints, ensuring a secure connection across your network. By integrating automation and ease of use, Heimdal’s offerings streamline asset management and bolster overall cyber security.
