"Engaging, Effective Training That Delivers Real Results"

5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

In a world of terrible training, NINJIO is fresh, relevant, and completable in a short time each month. We get excellent feedback from users and results from the training. People cite the training when they report hacks. They are entertaining and are based on real world items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

Over the years, NINJIO still struggles from the platform side. It is incredibly cumbersome and hard to use. I have been through 3 platform releases, and each one gets better and worse at the same time. They desperately need to revamp everything and create a more usable platform. Fortunately, you don't have to be in it that often, so it doesn't overshadow how good it is that much. Also, if I was just rating support, I would give them a 3. Again, you rarely have to use support, so it is less of an issue, but support is rarely timely or helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging, Effective, and Consistent"

5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

NINJIO continues to deliver short, engaging episodes that make security training easy for employees to absorb and apply in both their work and personal lives. The use of real cyber incidents keeps the content relevant and helps our team understand how these scenarios unfold in the real world.

A notable improvement this year is the addition of personal portals. This change has made it easier for users to access released episodes on demand and see which trainings they still need to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

One aspect I’m less enthusiastic about is the leaderboard feature. While I understand its purpose in driving engagement, I’ve noticed that the rankings don’t shift very often. Our top participant has held the same spot since we introduced the platform in 2023. As a result, it doesn’t feel as dynamic as it could Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Security Awareness and Boosts User Vigilance"

5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

If the purpose of IT security awareness is to ultimately reduce human error in the processes of protecting sensitive data and fostering a strong security culture by educating users about cyber threats and best practices, then NINJIO accomplishes this. Our IT Security Team has noticed a substantial increase in user-reported potential threats. Their overall vigilance has become objectively higher since its implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

The backend management can be somewhat clunky and non-intuitive. Being asked to confirm nearly every action one takes can get tiresome. The tools used to create, monitor, and report on past/current training and phishing campaigns are overly complicated or again, non-intuitive. Having to send up a support request for simple campaign creation or troubleshooting slows down our ability to interact with the system beyond its most foundational levels. However, the Support Team has always been great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging and Cost-Effective Cybersecurity Training for Small Businesses"

4/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

The NINJIO platform is a convenient and cost-effective platform for cybersecurity awareness. The content is both educational and entertaining, which encourages participating and recall. When combined with their phishing simulation platform, it becomes something quite useful for small business who can't afford to create their own content or purchase some of the more advanced cybersecurity awareness platforms. In addition, their customer service and support department is quite responsive and knowledgable. Recently I had a session with one of them to walk us through setting up our phishing simulation, and she was absolutely fantastic (shout out to Nicola Elder from NINJIO) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

The admin user interface is not very well designed. Often I have to perform multiple clicks to accomplish what should take 1 click. Also, while they have made improvements to the dashboard for users that show the training they need to perform, it still does not show all trainings completed, along with completion dates. Even though this information is available in the admin interface, I believe it should be easily available on a per-user basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless to Use and Highly Effective"

4/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

Very easy for users to complete training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

The administrative interface isn't very intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While sophisticated attacks like ransomware, phishing, and malware are the visible threats, a large percentage of successful cyberattacks—some studies estimate as high as 88% to 95%—involve a human element or mistake.

The human factor creates a major vulnerability that criminals actively exploit through methods like:

Phishing and Social Engineering: Employees clicking on malicious links, downloading infected attachments, or giving up credentials after being tricked by a seemingly legitimate email, text, or phone call.

Weak Passwords: Using simple, easily guessable, or reused passwords across multiple accounts.

Misconfiguration/Improper Data Handling: Accidentally sending sensitive data to the wrong person, misconfiguring cloud services, or failing to apply security updates and patches.

Loss of Devices: Losing an unencrypted work laptop or mobile device that contains confidential company data.

How Training Overcomes the Issue

Ninjio cybersecurity awareness training is the most effective way to turn employees from a company's biggest liability into its first line of defense—a "human firewall." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For our dealership these videos are: Informative, engaging and relevant which equals great training!"

5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

What works great for our team is that you can watch at the videos at anytime and if our sales team should have to stop a video or timne out of one to helpo with a customer, I can resend the training videos as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

There will always be that person to grumble about more training, but to stay compliant with FTC regulations we all need to be more aware of what is going on. Not really a dislike, but it was all I could think of:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Through the videos that we have seen, it has made all of us more aware of how "bad actors" can and will attempt to steal from and harm not just bussinesses but also anyone who could become a victim. We have all become more aware of our surroundings and more deligent in the protection of our information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Episodes and Effortless Admin Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

From a user's perspective, the episodes are consistently engaging. Ninjio excels at capturing and maintaining your attention throughout each episode.

As an admin, I find managing users, as well as creating and deploying episodes, to be very straightforward.

On the few occasions when I needed to contact support, the experience was always pleasant and my issues were resolved fairly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

I have not heard anything from our employee's about the usage,

From an Admin point of view, I would like to see:

Ability to set up recurring episodes, currently I have to set each month's episodes up manually.

The only other thing I would like to see, would be automatic scheduled reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NINJIO Training Program Review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NINJIO Security Awareness?

Our organization uses Ninjio training for security and privacy education.

The training is very helpful in educating employees through engaging content.

Their animations and teachable takeaways make learning easy and memorable. At the end of each training, we receive a teachable takeaway summary.

Sometimes, there is also a quiz to reinforce what we learned. And it offers a variety of training videos covering different types of security and privacy topics.

Overall, it is a great resource for ongoing security and privacy awareness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NINJIO Security Awareness?

The only thing O didn't like about it is sometimes even though we complete the course it shows in pending not sure why then I have to re do it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ninjio js helping me to get aware about how the hackers try to enter into the organization's database so they teach us how to avoid that and it also shows ways a hacker or violater can breach into your security when you click on their links or emails. So their training helps in avoiding such cases and educate us to follow steps if something feels fishy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
