Nothing I can think of - it is a holistic solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
security awareness training to the enterprise
Great tool for any IT professional
What do you like best about the product?
Allows us to easily test our users on the most vulnerable part of our environment. Makes the data easy to use and ready. Plenty of templates to keep users from being used to the training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reports may be a little difficult to use if multiple campaigns exist for the tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is strengthening our user's ability to recognize phishing emails and be more conscious of what they click on or enter data into. We've seen a steady increase in performance in each campaign showing results.
Educates our users, although, there are technical problems that occur
What do you like best about the product?
Automated emails that send users links for the videos
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some technical things that happen such as people getting points added to their risk score when there shouldn't be
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping people become more vigilant towards back actors for emails
It's effective, but boring
What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot of courses, everything you need to run a campaign. The product is quite mature from a capability perspective. Setting the industry standard on security awareness.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kevin Mitnick. He doesn't impress me. Seems to self promote. Infact I dislike him so much I stopped using the product. All the courses seem to be the same over and over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Closed the gap on security general knowledge. Questions are average. Lots of handy little tools and utilities. Didn't really benefit me personally but would add value to people not familiar with security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Effectiveness there but there are better alternatives.
Great reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of varied training modules to role out to staff. When starting here employees were tired of long boring training, we were able to change this with KB4 training. The inside man training is very well received.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly we don't have too many issues here however, the Active Directory integration can be a little clunky and we have mainly taken to manually creating accounts and adding to groups now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do believe that people are using their training actively, being more vigilant with emails and reporting suspicious emails using the Phish Alert Reporting Outlook add-in frequently.
Great cybersecurity training courses for all staff
What do you like best about the product?
The courses are well-created to familiarize all staff with security-related concepts and how to avoid falling victims to hackers. The courses are including questions that keep the audience engaged. KnowBe4 is sending you messages with the latest cyber attacks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The courses might seem a little boring to IT professionals with cybersecurity knowledge. It will be great if there is an option to skip all the material and just answer the questions to validate knowledge without watching the videos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using KnowBe4 in our organization to make sure that all employees are familiar with basic cybersecurity principles and act more mindfully to protect the company.
The Gold Standard in Security Awareness Training
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful feature of KnowBe4 is the ability to use metrics to track your users' progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
KnowBe4 is constantly improving and I don't have any dislikes at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem we are solving by using KnowBe4 is improving our security posture by focusing on our employees' knowledge. Giving the users computer-based training and actively testing their knowledge by sending them a simulated phishing email is crucial to our program. This allows the users to realize the importance of the training material, which helps us reach our goals. It also gives users knowledge that they otherwise might not have learned on their own and gives a better understanding of essential security awareness habits that they can take with them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend KnowBe4 to any organization looking to improve its security awareness training program. The tool is easy to use and implement. It has great content for training and the ability to customize your phishing campaigns. Their reporting tool makes it easy to analyze the metrics of your program and helps to organize reports for progress meetings. If this is your first time implementing a security awareness training, their fantastic support team is there willing to help every step of the way.
Effective Security Training
What do you like best about the product?
Most critically, employees liked the training, they were engaged and spoke about it with their colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, in terms of off the self training, there was little to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary problem was having an effective training program that is trackable for compliance purposes. The benefits are improved user actions and a drop in spam interactions.
KnowBe4 is the Best!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the platform is continually updated at no additional cost to the customer. Professionally developed and produced training series like The Inside Man are exceptional.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the limit of 500 users to a page and that the continue buttons are only at the bottom after scrolling. However, it is a minor inconvenience. It does what I need it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a good foundation for new hires and we currently provide monthly security awareness training. I like the series such as the Cybersecurity Heroes, but there could be more like that developed and that would be nice. I understand the ability to change the questions in the quizzes will be available soon and the ability to add quizzes to the video modules. It would be nice to be able to strip quizzes as well to use as optional learning videos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Due diligence on what others are offering you is imperative. If they say they have over 1,000 phishing templates, have them show you. If they say they have over 500 videos, have them show you. If they say they have a video showing users how to Report Phish using their button, have them show you. KnowBe4 does all of that and more.
