Security Awareness on Steroids
What do you like best about the product?
Went from nothing to a full Security Awareness program in less than a month thanks to the KnowBe4 service. The ASAP program is a great guide to building and learning how to deliver a solid Security Awareness program quickly and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
(1) The domains used to send the phishing test emails can be easily traced back to KnowBe4, making it easy for IT smart people to figure out if a potential phishing email is real or a test from KnowBe4. Need to fix this so smart people have to actually look at the content of the email and use their training to determine if the email is a phishing email. (2) The USB tests are quite limited. Trying to use it on a modern infrastructure running solid security solutions is a waste of time. Most modern Active Directory and endpoint security configurations would block macros, prevent users from enabling them, and frequently run 64bit Internet browsers only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide continuous Security Awareness training, testing that knowledge regularly, and monitoring the campaigns all from a super simple web portal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After looking at other similar products/services we picked KnowBe4 because of all the free tools they make available to the public to help them better understand their Security Awareness weaknesses. No other company was making this level of effort. While some may think this is a marketing gimmick, I see it as pushing the envelope, making it easy for businesses to realize just how important real-world Security Awareness is to the safety of their systems and data.
The best tool for making your users aware of the potential theats of the cyber world!
What do you like best about the product?
The email phishing campaigns have made my users very aware of the types of tricks that are coming into their in boxes. I am constantly being asked if this is a good email or bad which is what I want them to do. The training modules are excellent! They are short and to the point. My users are very busy so they do not have time to spend several hours on training.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I have not found anything that I do not like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making our employees more aware of the security threats that the internet makes available to them.
You are the weakest link
What do you like best about the product?
Range of what you can do. Patience with me working thru what I want to do. The user community uploading current templates - just in case I'm too lazy to do my own.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm very pleased. There is really nothing to dislike. They are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Raising the level of awareness of how people can attack. They are calling me now about suspicious emails. Trying to get them to realize there are other ways they can be attacked.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In one second your company be toast. All it takes is one user:
one not paying attention
one that is tired and clicks without thinking
one that wants that coupon for 5 - 20% off their favorite site
one that opens an attachment from a colleague / friend that they weren't expecting.

Excellent Courses
What do you like best about the product?
There are courses on many topics in both a long version and a shorter review version. Love the phishing and various types of emails to test our staff on what they've learned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the repetitiveness but it does reinforce the topic at hand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The awareness of our staff to all the various types of scams has been greatly heightened. They also let the rest of the staff know when they have received something and to be aware of it. They don't open emails from people they don't know anymore.
Staying one step ahead of the bad guys!
What do you like best about the product?
Timely material, deep and broad in scope, helps us stay abreast of the latest threats, and to keep our employees current as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
This product works for us and our employees. Can't think of a "dislike".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security / greater awareness and far fewer mishaps

THere are no dislikes at this time as we are pleased

We are solving our user education of cyber risks and threats facing our organization. KnowBe4 has helped us achieve and foster a culture of cyber security and awareness by both the phishing security tests as well as the educational learning modules.
KnowBe4 is a great solution for our Secuity Awareness Training and overall program
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, training and phishing,all in one.good metrics
What do you dislike about the product?
There is noting that I dislike at the moment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security Awareness Training is a key element of any program. KnowBe4 allows us to not only train them from a knowledge perspective, but also to start changing behavior with the Phishing components.

Sleeping Better Now
What do you like best about the product?
The results are stellar. We tried the free test, which really is free and 31% of my users fell for the simulated phishing emails. Now I run monthly tests at minimum and only on rare occasions do I have more than one user fail. The training also covers other areas such as password strength, and other ways we can be hacked and is updated and refreshed frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only flaws are the occasional email template that just refuses to render the way I want it to and a very few email templates that my Barracuda spam service blocks in spite of the exceptions. The email rendering has been mitigated by the abundance of templates the KnowBe4 supplies and the blocking relates to how Barracuda deals with attachments, which I opted not to change. I just look at the users that didn't get a test email and manually fire one off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a level of training and verification which along with a written Acceptable Use Policy satisfies our auditors that we exercise due diligence in that area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free test - use the results to illustrate your vulnerability to the army of bad actors out there. Leave a copy of "Ghost in the Wires" laying around the office.
KnowBe4
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to test or train at any time
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing can be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous on-line security training was boring and never changed year to year. KnowBe4's training is interesting, informative and current. While we still catch a few staff with our internal phish testing, our external (third party) tests have been clean.
Know how secure your users are and improve where needed
What do you like best about the product?
The phishing testing platform is very robust, easy to use and helpful in tracking how well you users are doing with respect to security issues like Phishing. Also the large amount of training topics available to be deployed and tracked is great. I started with a baseline Phishing test and then trained my users. I use the Phish Alert tool provided by KnowBe4 which allows my users to mark incoming emails as potential Phishing emails. This alerts my team of potential breaches. Pairing this tool along with regular Phishing test I can keep my users up to speed on new Phishing techniques. I use a reward system for users that can accurately mark Phishing emails, which keeps them engaged and thinking about when that next phishing email might hit their inbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using KnowBe4 for a few years now. During the earlier days it was a bit more difficult to setup training schedules, however now the training scheduler is much better and their are more topics all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With KnowBe4 I keep my users up to date with current security issues. KnowBe4 keeps my users alert to new Phishing techniques. KnowBe4 also gives me visibility to users that may need a little more training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
KnowBe4 is a great growing platform that will help a company of any size to get user security under control and keep it under control.
