Heimdal Patch & Asset Management

What Heimdal Patch & Asset Management is

Heimdal Patch & Asset Management brings operating-system and third-party software patching into one cloud console, with shared policy controls. It supports automated updates for more than 350 third-party applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Heimdal says it prepares patches within four hours of vendor release by testing, sanitizing, and repackaging them. Packages travel through encrypted tunnels after sandbox testing. The service uses a lightweight endpoint agent and does not require additional on-premises servers or VPN connections. If a device is offline at its scheduled update time, it receives the patch when it comes back online.

Administrators can set maintenance windows, deploy updates silently, prioritize groups, and roll back problematic patches. Compliance reporting includes CVE/CVSS tracking, patch history, and system-change logs, aligned with CIS18, NIST, Cyber Essentials, and GDPR requirements. The optional Infinity Management add-on uses command-line scripting to patch applications outside the standard catalog, including proprietary software. Heimdal describes the product as designed for MSPs, with a multi-tenant dashboard, role-based access controls, automated policies, and audit reports. Listed integrations include ConnectWise PSA, HaloPSA, Autotask, Splunk Enterprise, Microsoft Power BI, and LogPoint. Heimdal was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Who it suits

It suits MSPs managing operating-system and third-party patches across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. MSPs can use its multi-tenant dashboard and role-based access controls, while teams needing patches for software beyond the standard catalog can consider the Infinity Management add-on.

Limits

The 30-day free trial is available only to companies. Each Windows, macOS, or Linux device with the agent and patch or OS-update monitoring enabled uses one seat; the paid plan is billed per device per year, with custom pricing.
