Reporting is getting better but would like more customization and filtering capabilities.

Easier integration with external training tools such as Vector Solutions to tie business required training to KB4 and show completion status in both.

Helping non-IT employees to understand the need to be cyber security aware, especially those employees who do not often use the computer but could impact the business if they were to click malicious links without understanding the impact.

"KnowBe4 is an excellent online security awareness training platform"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It offers a good variety of short to medium length courses that are up-to-date with current state of network security. The web interface is easy to use for end users and easy to manage for administrators. Setting up users is as easy as importing a CSV or linking to the Active Directory. Training campaigns are easy to set up. Testing is effective. Once you get the campaigns and tests scheduled, they run on their own, collecting data and generating reports. Overall, it's very low maintenance for an admin to keep a company's security awareness training going on KnowBe4

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

There is nothing I don't like about this platform.

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

Since we are in the utility sector, security is of the utmost importance to us. Many of our employees are not technology-savvy therefore need a lot of repetitive training and ongoing continuing education to maintain security awareness and develop skills to identify and counter cyber threats. KnowBe4 provides a great solution to address our issues. Since implementing the program, our phish-prone score has drop significant from above the industry average at the time of baselining to well below it at present.

"KnowBe4 is the way to go!"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

We have seen a lot of positive feedback from all departments across our organization. We sent out a training campaign, which was optional and employees were wanting to gain access to KnowBe4 and complete it!

"KnowBe4 Rocks!"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Phishing templates. / automation / coordination of phishing results with remedial training / reporting / csv downloads for use in Power BI/ customer service,/ smart groups;

Everything in the KB4 suite works together to provide the best information security training and testing that we have ever used.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The little I have found fault with in the past was satisfactorily addressed and no longer exists. There is nothing I currently dislike.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

I can't provide a comparison to KB4 competitors because I have only used KB4. However, I can say that I have been 100% pleased with the product, the rate of feature additions, the relationship to the company, and the support they provide on an ongoing basis. I haven't looked at anyone else because I don't have any unmet need.

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

Administering and managing annual information security training. Evaluating the state of our human shield. Identifying and reeducating risky employees. With KB4, we went in one year from a 30% phishing failure rate to < 3%.

"Excellent and broad scope of training available."

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It makes tracking training metrics easy. We know exactly who is not training for us to take action on. The phishing tests can be set to be very difficult to spot; it also gives you insight into who is a greater security risk so you can assess access limitations for that person. The broad base of topics means we can cover other training besides IT. Our employees find it easy to use and understand.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

No way to make a direct auto updating connection between your organization's email and KnowBe4 without Azure P1/P2 level.

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

We have really opened some eyes regarding security and vulnerabilities of people in our organization.
