Adaptive Security Reviews & Product Details

I like the flexibility and extra training modules in Adaptive Security compared with our legacy phishing platform. It helps our employees stay vigilant about emerging phishing, SMS phishing, and deepfake campaigns, and its ongoing innovation helps train them to stay ahead of the curve. I can generate deepfake videos and voice notes and customize the apps our company uses, so the phishing tests are relevant to our organization. The deepfake generator is especially valuable for testing employees with content featuring public figures in our organization. Setup was pretty seamless: we imported our users, tailored our phishing tests, and built out our training in a matter of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest issue with Adaptive Security is that it only supports one SSO integration at the moment. We have two separate environments with separate SSO configurations, so we have to run two Adaptive Security instances to cover everyone. It would solve our issue if one instance could connect to multiple domains or SSO providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Adaptive Security for security awareness training and phishing simulations for our end users. The training is engaging, relevant, and up to date, and I value the comprehensive reporting and metrics. I can easily generate custom modules with AI based on company-specific threats, with little further manual intervention. I like how easy the platform is to use and its comprehensive feature list, which ticks all our must-have boxes. The development team is always working on and releasing new features. I also like the tool for building phishing simulations based on real threats we see in the company. Setup was very easy, and Adaptive Security’s support was helpful and attentive during the domain-whitelisting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some phishing domains are taken out of production quite regularly because email security systems flag them, and the Adaptive Security team has to work on getting them unflagged. This reduces the variation of phishing domains sent to our end users. Domain whitelisting was also quite tricky during setup. I’d like domains to be pre-authorized with Microsoft, Proofpoint, and other email security vendors, and to be notified when a phishing domain in use is temporarily taken out.

I like how intuitive it is, and how much it takes off my plate. They’re always adding new training modules, which keeps things feeling fresh. It also sends Teams messages and emails as reminders, and will even ping managers when their users are getting close to training deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Adaptive Security is how approachable it makes security awareness. The content is engaging and easy to follow, helping employees connect security concepts to everyday situations.

Nothing significant stands out so far. My overall experience has been positive, and I don’t have any major concerns to highlight at this stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Adaptive Security is the continuous identifying of risk, prioritizing what matters, and responding faster than traditional tools. Some of the tools include the following:

Continuous threat detection and risk visibility: Instead of one time checks, Adaptive keeps monitoring signals to spot suspicious behavior and emerging threats.

Automation for investigation and response: Helps reduce analyst workload by triaging alerts, correlating events, and suggesting or executing next steps.

Context-aware findings: Not just “something is wrong,” but more actionable insights (why it’s likely an issue, affected assets, and recommended remediation).

Reporting and compliance support: Dashboards and audit ready outputs that help show security posture over time and support governance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only dislike was the whitelisting process. Since we use Barracuda and Microsoft 365, we ran into some challenges ensuring everything was whitelisted correctly in both systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team is responsive, flexible and willing to work with us on contract terms and implementation. They have comprehensive and interesting infosec training content that our users actually enjoy watching. The realistic and customized phishing, vishing, and deepfake campaigns are excellent. The tool is also easy to set up and configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding process could have been more in depth in terms of reviewing and understanding the platform and all the features available to us, so we are still exploring the full feature set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adaptive has the most advanced feature set of any security training and phish sim platform out there. We've been highly impressed with the quality of training materials. You have complete control over the platform to customize the materials and phish templates to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pricey! I think there's a good reason for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Adaptive Security provides a relevant and updated UI and has a lot of functions to leverage AI for training and communication with employees. It can adjust and update training based on issues or new vulnerabilities, which is really helpful for a small IT team. The initial setup was very easy, and ongoing maintenance is minimal. It has been working well and providing a lot of value to our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Adaptive Security’s interface and training material feel more modern than competitors’ and that they seem to be on top of their game and use new technology.

I’m still getting used to Adaptive Security after a little over two months, but I don’t have anything major to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Users have found the updated training and use of celebrities like Conan Obrien very engaging. We also like the way the detections work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
