"Game changer!"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The automation with smart groups and ADIsync is a huge time saver. The ability to pull raw data reports on phishing, and the phishing tests are amazing as well especially when combined with remedial training modules (I'd recommend tagging some that are best for remediation of clickers and credential harvest failures.)

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The VRO is highly flawed. The scoring isn't at all indicative of much of anything I've noticed. There's too much weight added to the algorithm by number of times an email address has been found on the dark web. When everyone is on there, I fail to see how that matters anymore.

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

Security Culture immaturity, phishing risk, credential harvesting risk, liklihood of ransomware incident, compliance reporting, and raw data availability for reporting metrics to executive leadership.

"The staff actually hold viewing parties to watch security awareness training"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The catalogue is comprehensive and the security mini-series are oddly wildly popular. Switching our approach to the mini-series was the best move ever. We have never used a competitive product so I can't argue that KB4 is the best, but our experience has been positive on all fronts.

- The content is topical, and with the mini-series engaging.

- The phishing tests are executed flawlessly and with the automated training and documentation really streamlines the follow up and audit evidence collection.

- We customized the Phish Alert Button to serve our purposes internally and have excellent response fro staff. They appreciate how easy the tool intergrates into their daily life.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

a. Unable to modify a campaign that’s already running

b. Unable to remove/modify users in a smart group

c. To many old content in the library

d. PAB not available for Shared Mailboxes

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

Awarenes training - meets the need well

Phishing tests - Meets the need

PAB - required custmisation as unable to send potentially sensitive emails to PB4 for analysis.
