"Cybersecurity Practice Elevated by the Security Blue Team"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

In the Security Blue Team, I love the exercises that go beyond multiple-choice questions and really challenge us to get hands-on. It's very interesting to have to boot VMs and tinker with things in practice, as cybersecurity has a very important practical component that many courses end up neglecting. It's excellent that the Security Blue Team makes us work directly with the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

Nothing to point out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

We're glad to hear that you enjoy the hands-on exercises and practical approach that doesn't just rely on multiple choice answers. We are focused on delivering certifications that give learners the ability to experience operational tools and how things work in SOCs.

"Effective Cybersecurity Training with Hands-On Learning"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

I love how Security Blue Team has taught me to think like an analyst, learning OSINT skills, dark web operations, and threat hunting. The site itself is modern and nicely done. Their courses are pretty good, even the free ones that I tried were great. I like that they include practical tests with each course, which makes the experience engaging and not just boring theory. Also, the setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

Some course material is outdated. They need to check and update the resources on the courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we're glad to hear that you found our courses engaging and practical and it has helped you to think like an analysts with plenty of practical tests that reflect operational scenarios.

"Great for Cybersecurity Learning with Practical Labs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

I really like the labs in Security Blue Team because they give me hands-on experience on the topics I read about. The phishing labs, for example, helped me understand how to investigate a phishing topic. The other labs are very useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

There were times when the labs were not available, or there were some issues with the labs. This was frustrating. Also, when I changed my mobile device, it was quite a hassle and the platform was unavailable, which took several days to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the practical labs and finding them useful for learning cybersecurity concepts. Thanks for the feedback about the labs and apologies you had some challenges getting back on the platform.

"Thorough, impactful, and up to date"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

I did the Blue Team Level 1 certification by Security Blue Team. I loved how hands-on the whole experience was, getting to explore scenarios that are close to real life security scenarios was a great help and the hands-on experience with the tools helped me be confident in my skills. Easily one of the best cyber security certifications out there. It's worth the cost imo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

I do feel there could have been a bit more labs to explore the tools a little bit more in depth but what it has was already sufficient. This would just be a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thank you for your feedback Mohit, we appreciate your suggestion for more in-depth labs, and are glad you found our certification are more hands on and less theory with the free access to the labs to test your skills.

"BTL1 is a worhtwhile investment in your learning and future"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

The overall experience I had with Security Blue Team was an excellent one. They offer a practical, hands-on system of training and certification that has helped me immensely in my learning and application of cybersecurity. The greatest detail that I liked about their organization is that they provide you ample resources internally and externally to reach your goals. It's on you to do the work, but they have an interactive learning system and they provide you with access to an active community you can reach out to for guidance and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

The only downside that I can see is that the cost of the certifications may be prohibitive for some. That being said, you get what you pay for in this industry. It's priced fairly for the immense work they have put into designing the course material, providing interactive browser-accessed labs and facilitating a worthwhile stress-test of your capabilities learned in their training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

"Excellent for Security Study, Despite Access Failures"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

I use Security Blue Team to study, and it helped me understand more about malware analysis, security incidents, and log analysis in a SIEM. I really like the practical component, which is extremely good. Additionally, the available content is something I particularly appreciate. The initial setup was easy and, despite some issues, like access to the machines sometimes failing, I would give a score of 10 in recommending the product, because if I could, I would even give it 20. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

Access to the machines often fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

"Top Defensive Cybersecurity Platform, Though Some Content Feels Outdated"
5/5
What do you like best about Centri?

When I began my journey into the Blue Team field, Security Blue Team was among the few platforms offering defensive cybersecurity content. Although the landscape has evolved since then, I still regard it as one of the best. Their certifications are widely recognized, and I have found myself interested in all the other courses they offer. In my opinion, it remains one of the top platforms focused on defensive cybersecurity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centri?

One of the downsides is that their old content is kind of outdated. BTJA was a little behind even when I did it like a year or two ago. It was still an amazing introduction, and I loved the structure they had with the Capstone Project. Some units were really challenging.

The other downside, which is more of a disadvantage for me, is that as it's a UK certification, it becomes significantly more expensive in USD. Their student discount helps a little, but the Black Friday discount wasn't that significant, and it didn't accumulate with the student discount. So, it's a little hard to buy for college students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joanne Morley of Centri

Thank you for sharing your experience with Security Blue Team. It's great to hear you've found our platform valuable for defensive cybersecurity training and certification. We are continuously working to update our content to ensure it remains relevant and engaging and we strive to keep our BTL1 pricing affordable .
