Senior IT Support Specialist at PXGEO
Empowers user autonomy with robust access control and accountability
I haven't found any issues with the solution currently; it can effectively handle everything we've encountered. It would be beneficial if they could further integrate AI features for automatic learning and reduce alert frequency. Making the solution lighter while improving scanning and threat management efficiency could enhance it. However, Heimdal is responsive to our feedback and often works on updates quickly.

Has a useful credential vault feature but the user interface needs to be improved
I don't have a complete picture to be able to tell you that this is the best product. Because each customer in their own environment has a different set of circumstances and different situations that mandate different technologies. I cannot recommend this as the best product or recommend that you should use it. I would rate this product a six out of 10.
