"Great customer training and support"

Our customer success manager was a great guide in understanding what our business needed and helping us to get set up and running. The graphs and interfaces are easy to understand and provide useful information.

I'd like to see PhishER integrated with the KnowBe4 dashboard. I'd love to be able to view all that information in a single pane.

The combination of the Security Awareness training and Phish Alert button in Outlook has greatly improved both our users awareness and reporting of potential threats. KnowBe4 also provides easy to read reports that I can provide to our President, board members, and auditors to show our training and progress.

"KnowBe4 has been a game changer for our organization"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Where do I start, the phishing tests you can send out at your desired frequency, the phish alert button you can install for Outlook, the second chance tool that can be installed for Outlook to make users think twice about clicking a link in their email, the scam of the week emails, and the variety of training options and materials. Also being able to have users acknowledge the acceptable use policy within KnowBe4 was very cool, especially since we were able to set a time limit to make sure users actually take the time to read it. Everything has been great so far.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Can't say I've had any bad experiences thus far. The only recommendation I have made to them is when completing the Security Awareness Proficiency Assessment a lot of users wanted to know how they scored and what questions they missed but it only shows the admin the score for each user. Overall however there's been nothing we have found to dislike.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

I would say if you're considering KnowBe4 whether switching to the, or just started looking for a security awareness vendor, go ahead and sign up now. I would recommend signing up for the diamond package to ensure you get all the benefits and features KnowBe4 has to offer. Upon signup you get assigned to a customer success manager who is very helpful with getting setup and can answer any questions you have going forward. Their support team is also very helpful and respond in a timely fashion. The amount of content KnowBe4 has to offer cannot be beat. The phishing templates they provide for you to send out to your users are awesome. The training content they offer is great. The phish alert button that can be installed for your mail client is so nice to have for our users. Everything is great!

What problems is KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

We feel our users have become much more aware of phishing emails and we have seen an improvement in the number of phishing test emails reported since we started till now. The fact that we have user automatically be enrolled in a training campaign if they fail a phishing test is very beneficial. We are in our first year of having KnowBe4 so this was our first time sending out security awareness training to our users as we do the training annually. We felt the training was far more extensive than our previous training provider. We sent out the Security Awareness Proficiency Assessment prior to users taking the training and are anxious to send it out again next year so we can see the improvements of KnowBe4's training.

KnowBe4 offers fantastic training, an amazing dashboard, and awesome templates!

Take the dive and buy it! It is well worth your money. Stu (the CEO) is fantastic as well and is super helpful so that's definitely a breath of fresh air!

What problems is KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our users are now much more careful when clicking links in emails. I have users that report emails to me first and a lot of the time they're legit emails, but it's still awesome to have them report it!

I couldn't find yet.

I feel a little slow speed for some video plays? But, I'm not sure if it is my network issue or your system issue.

I made a contract for 3 years. A little worry because 3 years are so long for IT market. Actually, I wanted 1 year contract, but 3 years price would be much attracted. I hope this company continue to support for a long time so that I don;t have to find another vendor.
