Hacware, a great up and coming Automated Security Awareness and Training Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan L. | CEO, Computer & Network Security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022 **What do you like best about HacWare?** We provide Cybersecurity as a Service, Compliance strategy, and Information Security Consulting Services to our customers to ensure their security posture is exemplary and that they stay compliant with SOC2 continuously. We mainly used a competitor for Phishing and Vishing campaigns and Information Security Awareness training before we hit a stumbling block with our smaller customers, as the more established competitors required a 25-user minimum. We then found Hacware and rolled it out to a few of our smaller customers. We were delighted to find that the platform was so user-friendly. As a bonus, the post-sales support team was very efficient during the platform's implementation stage and ongoing support. Update: After a few months, the Hacware team actually listened to our feedback and rolled out Okta SSO for partners. What was a dislike is now something that we like! **What do you dislike about HacWare?** There are some minor UI/UX issues, which we have addressed with the support and products team. **What problems is HacWare solving and how is that benefiting you?** The training has an excellent set of training video modules to choose from and pre-set groups of training for SOC 2, which we found very helpful. Hacware's platform is on par with the larger competitors in its field. What makes Hacware a significant partner for us is the support team behind the platform and the ongoing development of modules which are updated monthly! **Official Response from Brita Nelson:** > Thank you for the great review Dan! It's great to hear our support team is providing value. And we love to hear that we can help you support your customers no matter their seat size! ### 2. The best Phish Tests on the Market **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josh W. | President and Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2022 **What do you like best about HacWare?** Hacware's standout feature is the AI that constantly scans the users' email and sends tests with customized "from" addresses and content to best mimic the real world threats that lead to BEC scams. Additional standout features are the ease of starting and maintaining testing regimens and the fact that everyone gets different tests and different times. We also like the short, easy to take training content. **What do you dislike about HacWare?** The portal could still use some work and more training vidoes are needed. **What problems is HacWare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hacware makes Phish tests easy to deliver and helps us by getting the conversation around BEC going! **Official Response from Brita Nelson:** > Thanks Josh! We appreciate your stellar review and your feedback to help us improve and make the platform better for you! ### 3. I really like Hacware **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pierre A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about HacWare?** Hacware is one of the few vendors that actually wants to solve the problem, and not just about making money off of MSPs. They truly care about the MSP growth. **What do you dislike about HacWare?** Videos need a little more work, but it still send the message. **What problems is HacWare solving and how is that benefiting you?** A tool that teach users , how to be more secure. **Official Response from Brita Nelson:** > Hi Pierre! Thank you for your great review! We make MSP growth and success a priority and we really appreciate your feedback. We are in the process of updating some of those training videos, stay tuned! ### 4.
