The whole platform is very easy to use and straight-forward. You will learn fundamentals in this course. The labs and the lessons are very well explained, especially the technical ones. Those that are jumping to cybersecurity will benefit from this course and the training materials.

Their support team is also top-notch, they are ready to help you whenever you need help. People and the SBT community are very helpful also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content strikes a great balance between accessibility and depth. While designed for beginners, it still delivers solid value for more experienced professionals through its practical scenarios and strong focus on defensive operations. The labs are the standout feature, highly engaging, hands-on, and crucial for consolidating knowledge. We’ve used it to certify most of our cyber team and as a giveaway for security-minded individuals across the wider business. It’s been a great way to upskill and spark interest.

There’s very little to fault. Some parts of the platform could be a touch more polished, and a few modules might benefit from small updates to reflect newer tools or techniques. That said, the overall experience was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the learning and labs are self paced and this can be undertaken with a positive work/life balance. I also like the appropriate mix of practical and theory based learning. The notes are well presented in a clear and concise manner but offer further resources for more in depth learning and context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, I found that the lab machines were not as responsive as other times. This was probably due to resource constraints at popular times of the day. Some of the questions in the labs and the exam were a little bit unintuitive or worded in a convoluted manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Security Blueteam is the quality of content they produce and emphasis on hands on technical training. They are some of the best in the business when it comes to that. The lab environments were stable for the most part and they have better infrastructure than most in this type of business.

I also enjoyed how on the exams they introduced a twist that may have been a subset of a topic covered in the material but would require research to uncover the artifacts in that specific part of the exam. Making this pivot wasn't too difficult or "out of left field" - it was just right and fair. I respect that a lot because the course objectives aligned with what it took to pass the exam.

In late 2023 and early 2024, exam grading times were horrifically slow. However, I have friends who have taken the exam recently and have said there is very quick turnaround now.

My only other gripe would also be having limited access to the exam course material. The material, in my opinion, should be PDF downloadable at the time the subscription starts to the end of the subscription so professionals can reference it later in their careers and aren't soley relying on memorization. Other than that, I really enjoyed the experience and learned a ton. I would recommend this course to any Cybersecurity industry professional looking to expand their skillset.

My team recently all certified BTL2; overall, an excellent and challenging experience, and in terms of difficulty was a step up from OSCP.

The course study materials and hands-on labs were well-structured and reinforced the content a student is supposed to know prior to attempting the exam.

The exam itself was challenging and really validated the skills course graduates claim to have when displaying their badge on Credly.

Purchasing courses from BTL2, administering the credits and assigning them to team members was as easy as it could be.

The support team was quick to resolve any issues and were very flexible regarding real-life interruptions to study as well as any technical issues for the labs and the exam.

Separately, the Blue Team Labs Online environment (BTLO) was easy to sign up for and trial before purchasing monthly passes and was an invaluable resource in preparing for the exam and honing our skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* This is a minor gripe but the labs require a specific format for answers sometimes and the parsing doesn't always work the way it's required.

* The support team is UK-based so if you have support requests you may have to wait until the following business day to have it fielded. That being said, the support staff knows their stuff and there is very minimal back-and-forth before an issue is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security Blue Team’s training was exactly what I needed to take my defensive cybersecurity skills to the next level. The content is clear, hands-on, and focused on real-world scenarios — which makes a big difference when you’re preparing for certification or working in a SOC environment.

I especially appreciated the detailed labs and threat detection exercises, which helped bridge the gap between theory and practical application. The BTL1 course was structured in a way that made complex concepts approachable, and the support from the community and instructors was excellent.

Highly recommended for anyone starting or growing their career in blue teaming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I didn’t find anything to dislike. The course was well-structured, the labs were hands-on and relevant, and the platform ran smoothly throughout my learning. Any questions I had were quickly addressed by the support team or community. It delivered exactly what it promised — quality blue team training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
