"KnowBe4 from an IT Admin "

Biggest weakness is always the human element. This helps train them to be at least skeptical of suspicious email.

"Sharp decline in clicks on Phishing links."

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

My users went from a 36% click rate to a >3% rate in 2 months. We are spearphished on a regular basis and we haven't had a reported security incident in nearly 3 years.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

User complaints about training, they claim not to have the time and insist that they be removed.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

Take the Platinum plan! ;-)

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

Biggest solution was the amount of click thru's we had on scam emails. Knowbe4 has reduced this to ~2%. the greatest benefit is I can sleep at night knowing that I'm not going to be waking up to a phone call that we were hacked or how do we get the money back that was wired yesterday.

"Good training and practice for our employees"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The regular phishing tests have really helped our employees get better at spotting suspicious emails. I also like the fact that if an employee fails a test, I can automatically setup training for that employee to review so they understand the importance of not being click happy. There are also a number of training videos that are short and to the point for employees.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It does take time to come up with more realistic tests for our company. I have run several personalized tests against our company and they have been very enlightening but it takes time to come up with something that is good when this is only a small part of my job.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

You should take the time to set this up right to start with. You should start by working with management on what this can and cannot do. Work with them to setup appropriate training for new employees as well as existing employees and employees that open, click or otherwise interact with fake emails. Then run some baseline phishing tests against your organization. Then implement the training and run more tests. Keep running tests on a regular basis. Periodically come up with some custom ones to your organization.

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

We had significant issues with employees opening emails that they shouldn't. Since we have been using this product, the security issues have significantly decreased.

All of it!!! The training has been great for our employees, it's engaging. We are using the Phish testing and that has also helped our employees. We just purchased PhishER and look forward to getting that additional information.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Can't think of anything that we dislike.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training:

Great product would recommend to any size company.

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

The overall awareness employees have gained by going the training and being tested. Employees are learning how important and/or vulnerable our security of our data is and how it could effect the whole company.

"Knowbe4"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Creating and monitoring phishing campaigns is a quite simple with Knowbe4's UI. If anyone clicks on the phishing campaign e-mail they can be added directly to a training campaign. The training courses offered up give you a bit of variety and different time length options, they also happen to be decently entertaining.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The cost is mildly steep for smaller organizations.

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

Knowbe4 has helped us to teach users to question the legitimacy of most e-mail that comes into their inbox greatly reducing phishing attempts.

Possibility of offering customization of phishing emails for campaigns. Some features have their limitations

No problems thus far. I like the fact that a rep called out of the blue and guided me on how to make my KnowBe4 campaigns and training better for my employees. He went over extra features I was unaware of.
