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

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

"Customizable Security Training, Seamless Setup"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

I like that Adaptive Security allows for the customization of Security Training modules to focus on threats and information relevant to our business, making the training more effective and pertinent to our needs. I appreciate that the platform continues to innovate by building and delivering new features even in the short time we have been using it. The transition from Drata to Adaptive Security for our security training program was driven by the more up-to-date training materials and the value of customizability, which ensures my team receives training that is both relevant and current. Additionally, I found the setup process of Adaptive Security very easy, with excellent support to ensure everything was properly connected, which was crucial given our use of Proofpoint's email filtering service alongside Adaptive Security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I found the Drata integration process to be quite technical, which could pose a challenge for someone who is not technically inclined to set up and ensure it is working properly. This complexity in integration might hinder smooth operation and deter non-technical users from using these combined services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Simulations, Compelling Training"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

I find Adaptive Security incredibly valuable for providing security awareness training to my enterprise, effectively training my employees on handling threats like deepfakes. The powerful and efficient simulation feature is particularly impressive, as it creates a jarring and realistic portrayal of potential, effective attacks, which in turn makes my employees more cautious and aware. The templates offered by Adaptive Security are also very good, enhancing the training process with their quality. Additionally, the initial setup of the product was wonderfully straightforward, almost turnkey, allowing me to understand the product fully within a few hours. This ease of use coupled with the compelling and effective training Adaptive Security provides is a major reason I switched from my previous product to Adaptive Security.

"Easy Deployment with High Security Awareness"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

I appreciate the ease of deployment of Adaptive Security, which significantly simplifies the initial setup process and allows for quick implementation. The variety of security testing tools offered by Adaptive Security is excellent, providing a broad range of tests and simulations that create a comprehensive security environment. This variety helps make employees extremely aware of potential fraud, which is crucial for maintaining the security integrity of our operations. Additionally, the awareness rate has increased dramatically, enhancing our ability to proactively address security concerns. The positive experience and full range of capabilities Adaptive Security delivers, as compared to our previous tool TrendMicro, made us confident in our decision to switch to this platform. These features and benefits are so valued that I would highly recommend Adaptive Security to colleagues, earning a top recommendation score of 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I dislike that Adaptive Security's ability to work internationally from all jurisdictions is limited. While it functions well for our US office, we can't utilize its full functionality for some of our international offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern, Intuitive Security Platform with Powerful AI-based Phish Triage"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Phishing simulations and OSINT risk analytics give us clear visibility into human vulnerabilities. The Phish Triage functionality is especially strong (one of my favourite feature!), helping us handle real incidents quickly and confidently with the help of AI-based analysis. We also appreciate how easy it is to edit and personalize the training modules. Overall, everything feels much more modern and intuitive than our previous platform. Implementation was quick and easy. The level of support from our CSM has been outstanding. While I administer the platform, I also appreciate the learning modules as a end-user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

While Adaptive Security performs well overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The platform has a relatively limited library of phishing simulation templates, which means campaigns often require more manual setup compared to other, more mature platforms. There’s also some rigidity in the system, for example, you can’t edit ongoing campaigns without terminating them first, which makes quick adjustments a bit cumbersome.

"User-Friendly Modules and Reports, Just Needs Customizable Emails"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

I like using Adaptive for the quick and easy to understand modules. The feedback from our employees was very positive. The reports and metrics are also easy to use to help manage compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

Nothing. I have enjoy the platform. The only additional feature I would suggest is the ability to customize the emails so that they look more like they are coming from our HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Adaptive Technologies has improved our workflows"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Their team took the time to understand our needs and delivered solutions that were both innovative and easy to use. The implementation process was smooth, and any questions we had were answered quickly and professionally. It was really easy to integrate Adaptive with Microsoft so that our users can receive emails about trainings and modules that need to be completed. Adaptive is used on a daily basis at our company. I also truly like the phishing button that can be integrated into outlook, our users use it often and the fact that it takes out the phishing email from everyone's mailbox once one user marks it as phishing makes things so much easier for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

If you're looking for quick plug-and-play solutions, the level of tailoring they provide might feel overwhelming or unnecessary for basic needs. I feel the dashboard could be a bit easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An IAM Engineers Perspective"
What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The platform stands out for its user-friendly interface, responsive customer support, and robust integration features. I also found the implementation process to be straightforward and hassle-free. API allows us additional reading and action taking using third party tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

It appears that group management is still under development. The user interface does not always reflect the API output accurately, and sometimes it takes a considerable amount of time for conditions to be applied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
