I like the training and questions in the exams offered by Security Blue Team, along with their humor and down-to-earth understanding of who they are training and testing. It feels unmatched, and it was a genuine joy and pleasure to read a lot of the material and discover new things during the exam. They know who they are teaching—geeks who want to learn more about this world—and they found the humor to do that, with oddball references in the material to straight-up call-outs of things other people do that don't work. The initial setup was really easy, the UX took just a little to get used to but was still easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much, other than the automatic scoring of my exam didn't work and missed several things I worked on, almost failing me until manual review took over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did my Blue Team Level 1 certificate with Security Blue Team and I really like the hands-on practical aspect of their training, with lots of labs to practice what I've learned. The lessons are written in a conversational tone, so it doesn't feel like I'm reading technical documentation; it's more like someone is explaining it to me. The platform also gave me hands-on experience with many cybersecurity tools that I could mention in my CV and in cybersecurity job interviews. Plus, the initial setup was easy.

I felt like a couple of the exam questions were a little ambiguous. For example, one question asked for the original name of a malicious file, but I wasn't sure if it meant the name on the system or the name on VirusTotal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use Security Blue Team to develop my skills in defensive cybersecurity, particularly in incident analysis, threat detection, and incident response. The platform has allowed me to acquire a practical and realistic approach to the work of a Blue Teamer. I appreciate the clear structure of the modules, the consistency between the training and the exam, as well as the quality of the scenarios, which reflect the work of a real Blue Teamer in a SOC environment. I also like the logic of the investigations and the clear instructions with an intuitive interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the modules could be further developed with more examples and labs. Enrich the labs further, with more varied scenarios and more realistic case studies. Add more detailed feedback after the labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their content and exams are entirely practical, focusing on meaningful, hands-on material that truly makes an impact on student learning. That's the objective of the learning after all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find frustrating is that their content expires once you clear the exam. Sometimes, you might want to revisit the material to review or refresh your understanding of certain concepts, but that's not possible after the exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content is well-structured and focuses on practical, real-world scenarios that SOC analysts deal with daily. It teaches not just the technical steps, but also the thought process behind analyzing threats, investigating incidents, and responding effectively. The way it breaks down use cases, detection logic, and triage techniques helps build muscle memory for when you're under pressure.

In day-to-day operations, this training has helped me move faster and with more confidence when dealing with alerts. It improves my ability to prioritize threats, ask the right questions, and make decisions backed by a clear understanding of attacker behavior. It’s not just theory — it translates directly into better performance during investigations and incident handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I didn’t run into any major issues. The only downside was that the shipping time for my hardcopy was pushed to the maximum, and I had to reach out to customer support to get it delivered. It wasn’t a big problem, but it did cause a small delay.

Having succesfully completed the BTL2 Certification now, there is only one thing I have to add: As a Newcomer to forensics, and the importance of the Report in the Exam I wished for an more in-detail report section or maybe a written example/lab to fortify the knowledge.

I really appreciate the free labs offered by Security Blue Team. As a student, these labs are incredibly valuable to me, providing essential resources that I otherwise couldn't afford. This accessibility allows me to deepen my understanding of the Security Operation Center for blue teams without financial strain. I also found the initial setup process to be super easy, which is a significant plus. The inclusion of multiple authentication factors not only enhanced the security of the platform but also gave me confidence in its protection of my efforts and data. Overall, these aspects contribute significantly to my positive experience with Security Blue Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the pricing to be potentially problematic. There's a concern that the cost might be high, and as a student, affording it could be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content is beginner friendly and well structured which really helped me get oriented as someone coming into Blue Team work without a formal background in Cybersecurity. The explanations are clear and the labs give a basic hands on feel that keeps you engaged. I also like the community aspect because seeing other learners ask questions and share experiences makes the whole process less overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regarding BTJA, the depth is quite limited. It gives a good overview and introduces important concepts but it barely scratches the surface of real SOC work. If you already have some experience or if you want very technical and detailed training you will need to combine this with other resources. Some labs could go a bit further and include more realistic scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clear explanation, and it’s relevant to the real-life skills required to work in an SoC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The study materials are mostly walls of text, and there aren’t enough videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform provides extensive hands-on practice with tools that are actively used in production environments, which makes the learning experience highly practical and effective.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may be a bit expensive for someone who is just starting out in blue team and doesn’t yet have a job in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
