Easy to use and even easier to learn about user vulnerability.
What do you like best about the product?
That it is relevant and not too long. It gets right to the point and explains things in layman's terms.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly cannot think of anything. It is really easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assess user risk by collecting behavior data and creating targeted information campaigns to better instruct our users and improve our school's cybersecurity.
Reliable security awareness training for end users, customizable campaigns, and great support.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it provides admins with the ability to fully customize their phishing campaigns and the wide variety of training videos for various topics.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be completely honest, I have not really found anything about KnowBe4's security awareness training that has not met my needs as a security admin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
KnowBe4 has significantly reduced the risks within my organization when it comes to phishing and greatly increased the user awareness around our cybersecurity efforts.
KnowBe4 Wonderfully Improves End-Users Security Awareness
What do you like best about the product?
Informative, engaging, and insightful, helping end-users spot malicious phishing attemps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some users may become overly suspicious and report emails that are actually okay but this is better than the alternative of not even detecting malicious ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to this KnowBe4's Security Awareness Training, our users were over 60% at risk for phishing attacks. That number illustrated that it was only a matter of time before our organization fell prey to malicious attackers. Now, with the training in place, our risk has dropped to 37.8%!
Helpful training materials
What do you like best about the product?
Augments our general compliance training that is not specific enough with mostly tech-focused security training. Replaced in-house materials that were challenging to update.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our (mainly IT) staff have recognized the senders for phishing tests and set up email rules to divert them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increasing awareness among staff about the breadth of potential threats.
All in one security awareness and training tool
What do you like best about the product?
Saves time to have basic security concepts in a professionally done course. Users can be assigned courses and we avoid repetitive training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the course is easy to skip through without a user paying close attention. But the exam does test knowledge ar the end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phishing, malware and general cyber security concepts that all end users need to understand the complexities of nowadays.
Simple and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure, allows for limited IT touch time but still effective training for your employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial config requires you to spend a good bit of time learning the KB4 way of doing things. A little bit more universal GUI and it could be killer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance and C level phishing training.
Most Polished and Comprehensive Security Training Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The phishing simulation platform is the most comprehensive and well-designed solution on the market. I also appreciate that the KnowBe4 platform offers training videos/courses that work in synergy with their phishing simulation function. I was able to replace two solutions with their consolidated platform for less money and superior function.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a phishing simulation can be less intuitive compared to some other platforms, but you'll grow accustomed to it after a simulation or two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since over 90% of all corporate breaches begin with a phishing e-mail, we focus heavily on educating our users and reducing our phishing susceptibility metric. Switching to KnowBe4 has led to a significant improvement in this regard, and I appreciate that I can compare our susceptibility score to our industry peers.
Our prior phishing simulation platform was fraught with persistent false positives, but this is a non-issue with KnowBe4 due to very detailed and comprehensive whitelisting guidance. Our previous phishing simulation provider also refused to offer phishing templates for actual threats related to current events such as COVID or the Ukraine war. When I asked why, they eventualy confessed that it was due to what could only be described as an odd and misplaced sense of political correctness. If threat actors reference these topics in phishing e-mails, my phishing simulation provider needs to be on top of it. KnowBe4 is on top of it. My previous provider was not.
