Heropa
Heropa is the leading virtual lab platform for hands-on, high-performance training.
Heropa is a virtual IT lab platform that provides hands-on lab environments for software training, sales demos, proof-of-concepts, workshops, and QA/support. It addresses the challenge of delivering complex software to learners and prospects seamlessly, securely, and at scale, allowing users to launch fully configured environments directly from a browser without installation.
The platform includes reusable templates for multi-VM and multi-layer network configurations, supporting Windows, Linux, macOS, Kubernetes, Hyper-V, and GPU instances. Heropa offers a Virtual Classroom, On-demand Labs, and a browser-based Lab Workspace. AI Lab Keys allow AI tools to run alongside applications within labs. Integrations include LMS/LTI support for Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard, APIs, webhooks, Zapier, and Arlo. Reporting tools measure engagement, activity, and progress, with built-in skills validation. Automated lifecycle management handles environment provisioning, access, and teardown, with cost controls at the environment or user level.
Heropa is for organizations delivering software training, partner enablement, sales demos, POCs, workshops, and QA/support. Pricing is usage-based, determined by monthly consumption of cloud resources measured in Virtual Lab Units (VLU) and VLU hours, with standard bundled tiers or custom tiers. There are no setup fees, and Microsoft licensing is included; AWS and Azure Marketplace costs are additional.
