Cornerstone of a corporate awareness and security procedure
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use in getting a baseline security training program in place is exceptional. This can then be incrementally improved and customized based on requirements. It's all easily managed at a management level without a large time requirement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The phishing testing component does throw false positives fairly regularly; I'm often getting reports from users saying they didn't click on anything but still registered as failed. It's a small price to pay, but still can be a nuisance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increasing security knowledge and awareness across the team. As a fintech company, we needed to ensure that our staff had a stronger security baseline, especially around email (phishing). This has the added benefit of being an easy solution to requirements for compliance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The online tutorials and training are very solid, take the time to go through their training and understand the basics, it makes everything else very simple.
Good training and practice for our employees
What do you like best about the product?
The regular phishing tests have really helped our employees get better at spotting suspicious emails. I also like the fact that if an employee fails a test, I can automatically setup training for that employee to review so they understand the importance of not being click happy. There are also a number of training videos that are short and to the point for employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take time to come up with more realistic tests for our company. I have run several personalized tests against our company and they have been very enlightening but it takes time to come up with something that is good when this is only a small part of my job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had significant issues with employees opening emails that they shouldn't. Since we have been using this product, the security issues have significantly decreased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should take the time to set this up right to start with. You should start by working with management on what this can and cannot do. Work with them to setup appropriate training for new employees as well as existing employees and employees that open, click or otherwise interact with fake emails. Then run some baseline phishing tests against your organization. Then implement the training and run more tests. Keep running tests on a regular basis. Periodically come up with some custom ones to your organization.
KnowBe4 the best cybersecurity training platform
What do you like best about the product?
It was pretty easy to configure my first training. My representative was knowledgeable enough to walk me through the platform. ADSync helps to sync users with my AD environment.You can start with simple module and go to more advance one. You can use posters, games, newsletters,etc
What do you dislike about the product?
It take me bit of the time to configure phish alert button for GSuite. I need to involve Google support to troubleshoot the issue and finally I was able to put it to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My users become more knowledgeable about all type of phishing, spear-phishing, spoofing e-mail that company receive on daily basis. The know thinking before clicking on suspicious links.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to implement and more than 900 different training video modules on huge variety of different topics.
I was able to find even nodules that are non related to cyber security

If you're not using KnowBe4 now, Just Do It!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been amazed at the depth of training information available from KnowBe4.
The variety of ways to test your employees is also amazing. They have some awesome templates that are very customizable to use for phish testing your employees to make it as tempting as possible.
Automatic remedial training for employees who fall for a phishing test simplifies administration greatly and we can see the progress (good or bad) our employees are making.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest quirk I've found is when an employee completes training, the dashboard doesn't always reflect that the employee has finished. I think this is happening because the employee is simply closing out the training when they finish (or think they've finished) and don't exit gracefully at the end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our baseline phishing test reveals a very disappointing 60+ % failure. After the initial round of training, subsequent phishing tests have dropped that down to below 5%.
Time will tell as we continue to test our employees with a wide variety of phishing styles whether they maintain that level. Automatic release of monthly update training (along with weekly email tips) will hopefully keep it in their minds.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The results are better than I expected. Even the demos don't give you a full grasp of the level of tools they provide. Worth every penny.
Know Be4 has been a Great addition to our organization
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to view and have data and feedback on the safety and status of our phishing safety
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much i dislike, it had been a great product, fairly easy to use and set up and monitor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing phishing training and monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend know be 4. It is easy to use and provide great insight and training for our organization.
Wonderful user experience.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to setup training campaigns for multiple months, and to add follow up training for clickers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the setup in the phishing campaigns is not crystal clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our users have learned to be more careful by investigating emails before they click, forward, or reply.
Very Helpful
What do you like best about the product?
We started working with KnowBe4 while we were in the middle of a breach. We were able to easily get a training campaign up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
End users expect a simpler process to get into training. KnowBe4 requires them to set up an account. We're going to use a good deal of KnowBe4 training, so I think as training continues people are going to find it easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently in the middle of our first round of training. I've had a surprising number of people give me positive input on the training. I'm looking forward to sending trial phishing emails out.
Great vendor!
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome content that is updated regularly. Ability to set a training program in place and it runs on its own with minimal intervention. Support is top notch as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of material - sometimes overwhelming. Great problem to have!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training and phishing testing on a regular basis with accurate reporting. Timely training that we can tie to results and performance.
Quality End User Security Testing and Training
What do you like best about the product?
Whats most helpful is simply having another tool to test my users and help educate them about security threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simply the time it takes to get everything going, not that it's any worse than other systems I use, just that my organization is under staffed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've got regular testing of our users dealt with right up front, phishing emails go out and remediation is handled with very little involvement from me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not having a system in place before KnowBe4 leaves me at a little bit of a loss based on price and functionality. Since we have gone live with KnowBe4 several of our other vendors have brought on similar offerings but KnowBe4 remains an industry leader.
Fantastic product/program and team
What do you like best about the product?
This product and training program is already having a significant impact at my organization. The KnowBe4 team is really dedicated to your success.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little clunky to setup/start but once you understand everything is starts to make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are identifying the staff members that pose the most risk to our organization and correcting their behaviors while better preparing the rest of the organization
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't think you can go wrong with the product.
