What Our Customers Say About Us

Read how our solutions have transformed IT operations and enhanced security for our clients.

IT Network Manager

Non-Profit Organization Management

Elegant solution

"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."

IT-Consultant

Hospital & Health Care

Great Patch management software

"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."

IT Manager

Construction

Reliable, simple and flexible.

"We use Patch Management, E-mail Security and Remote Desktop modules from the Heimdal portfolio. All these products run through a single agent and consistently perform well. We push Microsoft patches every month to clients and servers without issue (and more reliably than something like WSUS) , Remote Desktop is simple to use as an admin, just right-click the agent search for the user you want to connect to and go, and E-mail Security Spam filtering catches the majority of the bad things. Heimdal also creates a decent asset register for each device you install the agent on. Support is also responsive and helpful, normally coming back with an answer in only 30 minutes!"

Administrator

Hospital & Health Care

Great 3-party patch management

"We have used Heimdal security for many years now. We have tried most of their offerings. Now we use patch management of 3-party applications and email protection and Network threat prevention. The products are great and simple to use. Especially the 3-party application patch management has saved us hours of work."
