"Great Practical Content, But the Show must Go On ... ;)"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

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.

What do you dislike about Centri?

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.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you found the practical and hands-on approach to learning helpful and that the labs were practical and reflected real life scenarios.

"One of the Best Hands-On Blue Team Certifications for Aspiring and Current SOC Analysts"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

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.

What do you dislike about Centri?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thanks for the thoughtful review. It is great to hear the training has helped build confidence and speed during investigations, and that the practical focus is translating into real impact in your day-to-day work. Appreciate the note on the hardcopy delay. We have been aware of this and are working hard to make sure those waiting receive their copies as quickly as possible. Glad it did not take away from the overall experience.

"Comprehensive Learning with Free Labs, Easy Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

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.

What do you dislike about Centri?

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.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thank you Omr, it's great that you've found our free labs valuable and that the setup process was easy for you. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to making our platform accessible to all aspiring security professionals.

"Good introduction to Blue Team thinking"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

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.

What do you dislike about Centri?

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.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thanks for the review Hugo and it's great to hear that our training helped you understand core defensive security concepts and terminology, and gave you the confidence to explore deeper levels of SOC training. We're here to support you on your cybersecurity journey.

"Examination and modules on Wireshark, Forensics, and engaging CTI"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

The exam was the most interesting part. Regarding the course: Wireshark, the Forensic part, and CTI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

That some links were old. That some things have not been updated for a while. I would add more exam-style workshops. Furthermore, it would have been appropriate to negotiate on the price given the quantity purchased by the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

We're glad to hear that you found the exam interesting as well as some of the more technical aspects of studying forensics. Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on the content and that you were able to perform more in depth analysis.

"Hands-On Excellence in Cybersecurity Training"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

I used Security Blue Team as a foundation to start my journey for Blue Team Level 1 certification. I appreciate the six modules of introduction which really helped me to understand SOC and cybersecurity concepts. The best thing about it is everything is hands-on and very challenging. I find that the practical approach is always best. It helped me master tools like Wireshark, TCPdump, various Kali Linux tools, IOC tools like Redline and IOCe, concepts of OSINT, and scanning tools like Nessus and OpenVAS.
