"AI-Driven Training with Stellar Onboarding"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

I find the AI Assistance in Adaptive Security to be a huge win for us because it helps build custom training modules. This feature allows us to save time and create relevant training tailored to our exact needs, rather than using off-the-shelf modules. Additionally, I'm very happy with the current state of the platform and excited to see what new features will be added in the future. The Executive Risk feature is incredibly valuable. Even for personal use, I've used it to identify accounts I never knew existed and didn't sign up for. The setup process was very easy, and they provided excellent onboarding support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I think, with AI-built modules, it's just a matter of time before the models and data improve, and along with that, our turnaround time for rolling out training will improve. It would be great if they offered a bit more customization for the modules' look and feel—for example, more editing options to enhance visual appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adaptive Replaced Three Tools with One—Easy Phishing Setup and Fresh Training Content"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Adaptive replaced three different tools with one, which was amazing! Setting up phishing campaigns was straightforward and really easy. The “create scenario from email” button in triage is awesome. Adaptive is “always updating” and provides fresh training content, unlike our previous tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I have been vocal with the Adaptive Security team about feature requests and they have been VERY responsive. Mind you, these are minor requests, but they treat them as a priority! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We love how Adaptive consolidates our toolkit without sacrificing power! Setting up phishing campaigns is a breeze, and the 'create scenario from email' button is a total lifesaver during triage. The best part? The content never gets stale, and the constant updates and fresh training materials are a massive step up from what we used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Must Have Security Training and Awareness Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

We use Adaptive Security primarily for the training modules, but there are many additional features that sold us on Adaptive. I definitely like the breakdown of the training modules better with Adaptive, compared to our previous solution. The platform feels like a real upgrade; it's modern and intuitive. The branding and customization are great. The management features are outstanding, and I really love the dashboards and notifications. The product feels polished, and we get advanced features such as deepfake, smishing, and AI capabilities. The initial setup was very easy, and we were up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

New product rollouts require some adaptation on our end to keep pace, but it's ultimately a good thing for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adaptive Security replaced an older solution, improving employee engagement and awareness, and offers advanced features like deepfake, smishing, and AI capabilities that didn't exist in legacy products. They are addressing current and emerging challenges that many organizations are facing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistently Innovative Features That Stay Ahead of Evolving Threats"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

They consistently roll out new features that keep pace with the evolving threat landscape, something we haven't seen from other vendors, if at all. It's clear the product team is genuinely invested in staying ahead of attackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

The phishing test feature has a lot more difficult tests than easy ones. Some users may get caught off guard by the harder tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

From a usability standpoint, the platform is remarkably intuitive and easy to use—unlike our previous vendor. Support was also fast and responsive, which saved us time. With the old vendor, users weren’t engaged and were turned off by the training, but with Adaptive it felt more “fun” and engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Realistic Phishing Templates and Tailored Training That Strengthen Our Team"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The advanced phishing templates from vendors we use look incredibly realistic, which is awesome for testing our employees.

The AI persona is very cool, even to just play around with. Adaptive is clearly at the forefront of these threats.

Adaptive’s tailored remediation training based on attack vectors is incredibly helpful for training our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

Not being able to edit the training notifications, but the Adaptive team is working on implementing this feature now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Training Creation with No Prior Skills Needed"

4/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The ease of creating a training from scratch. I did not need any prior skills to be able to create solid training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I did not like how buggy the group setting is within a campaign build. If I were to initiate a campaign, everytime I started to create a group I ran into an issue. I had to create the group prior to the campaign to flow without issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Launch, Boosted Training Completion and Streamlined Email Triage"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The Adaptive platform was easy to get up and running.

Since we brought on Adaptive, our organization’s training completion rate has increased significantly.

Adaptive Triage’s auto-classification of spam and malicious email reports has been a great addition. It has noticeably reduced the time our helpdesk spends classifying reported emails, which has made the overall process much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

In the Security Awareness Training although the interactive AI modules are great the rest of the training has a bit of a powerpoint feel to it. People like more video and less slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

The user and manager training reminders have dramatically increased our participation rate in Security Awareness training. The automated tools for classifying reported spam and malicious emails have also dramatically cut down the time the helpdesk spends reviewing reports and getting back to the reporter.

The AI-generated content we can create ourselves is another nice feature. For example, when we roll out a new corporate policy, Adaptive can take that information, generate a training or informational presentation, and collect confirmation that employees have received and acknowledged the policy. This can be done in minutes compared with the old way we handled it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High-quality training and reliable support drive better learning"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The training material is concise, engaging, and highly relevant. Adaptove is clearly built with real learning needs in mind. The AI Content Creator makes it easy to tailor resources for our teams, and the phishing simulations are realistic and straightforward to administer and have increased our awareness significantly! Although I was not involved in the implementation directly, my teams have informed me that it was a quick, smooth process and as a team we find ourselves logging in almost daily to review content and create campaigns! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I struggle to identify anything I dislike! The Customer Support team have been excellent at providing support, always within 24 hours and have taken my feedback and suggestions onboard. It would be great to have more General Harassment training available, building on the already great catalogue which is focused on Sexual harassment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Phishing Protection with Modern Training and Effective Teams Integration"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Adaptive Security’s Outlook-level phishing integration uses direct mail injection (DMI) to avoid the usual email-gateway link scanning, which cuts down on false positives and keeps simulations from getting mangled on the way in. The Teams nudges give you a second, harder-to-ignore channel for reminders instead of relying on email blasts that vanish into inbox noise. The training material stays current and has a clean, modern presentation that doesn’t feel dated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

One place where the platform could step up is its reporting. The metrics themselves are solid, but the tool doesn’t offer much flexibility in how that data is presented. For example, you can view percentage-based completion on the dashboard, but you can’t generate that same view in the reporting section, where it matters for exports and stakeholder reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adaptive Security addresses the common shortcomings of traditional security awareness programs, such as users becoming disengaged, outdated training materials, and phishing simulations that are often disrupted by email security systems. By delivering simulated phishing emails directly into Outlook, it avoids the usual gateway scanners that can break links or cause false alarms, resulting in more authentic and effective phishing tests that mirror real-world threats. Its behavioral nudges, like prompts through Teams, help overcome inbox fatigue by reaching employees in the platforms they use most, reinforcing positive security habits without relying solely on emails that are easily overlooked. The platform also ensures that training content remains up-to-date and visually appealing, which helps prevent the boredom that often comes with mandatory training. Altogether, these features tackle the core challenge: encouraging users to stay alert, practice safe behaviors, and develop instincts that help protect the organization from phishing and social engineering attacks.

"Adaptive: Fast-Evolving, Easy Setup, and Outstanding Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Adaptive is one of the very few cybersecurity organizations that evolve as quickly as bad actors do. Initial set up was extremely easy, and connected directly to our M365 environment. Within a month of getting set up, they were reaching out to let us know about significant new features they had added. Their support has been fantastic, which quick and helpful answers to questions large and small. Reporting is clear and concise, delivering exactly what information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I haven't found any real downsides yet - everything has been fantastic, including cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
