Comprehensive training due to the wide range of training modules also helps to hold the attention and ensure that we retain the information. I found this really helpfull!

"Relevant, helpful, engaging courses"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It's easily accessible, engaging and useful. Most courses can be completed in a reasonable time frame and all hold the participant's attention from start to finish.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Every once in a while, we'll have a course that feels too basic/beginner-ish. That's not a fatal error, as even a company full of hardboiled, seasoned IT professionals can use a refresher now and then.

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

Clicking without thinking! The ongoing reminders, accompanied by the phishing campaign, are keeping our staff aware that they need to SLOW DOWN AND THINK, or voice verify, unexpected email message.

"Great product and great support"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It is great to have one system to plan and manage training, perform phishing campaigns and review suspicious emails reported by users. I also appreciate that they are always actively developing their products, adding features, improving workflow, etc.

And every time I have questions their support team is quick to respond and very helpful. I wish they could give lessons to the support teams at other vendors with whom we work.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The only complaint I have had to date is that they developed their other systems in a way that does not feel the same as KMSAT, requiring mastery of two learning curves rather than one. However, I believe they are working on improving this now by increasing commonality across their multiple products.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

You should plan to work with your account representative and ask a lot of questions. The representatives are very helpful and have access to subject matter experts who quickly join the conversation as needed.

Prepare to work with them as a business partner and not just a tool in your toolbox you pull out when needed.

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

We are dispelling the notion among our employees that we are not a target for threat actors. We are also discovering that our previous security posture was not as good as previously thought. Just the metrics gleaned from evaluating simulated phishing campaigns and reported emails has changed our view of security awareness as an organization. By improving upon our human firewall, we are now acting as a better informed participant in our own defense in the area of security awareness.

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

They are helping us try to reach out to our end users to be aware of the security risks of malicious software, and phishing tactics to hopefully rid those from our company

"Intuitive user interface, generally good training content and strong phishing simulation tools"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The user interface is intuitive and easy to use. Most of the training content (with a few exceptions) is good, and the phishing simulation functionality is fantastic.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

As a standalone training/phishing simulation product, the pricing does not always compete with other email security vendors, especially when already taking multiple products from a competitor.

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

Helping us fulfill regulatory & audit requirements for various pieces of security training, and carrying out phishing simulations across our user population to identify high-risk users where additional training may be beneficial.
