"Effortless Setup and Integration with Great Features"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

Ease of Use, Ease of Implementation, Features, and Ease of Integration so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I wish there was an option to set up multiple failure points. With KnowB4, I was able to include attachments and QR codes in any type of phishing email simulation, which made the process more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution ahead of the curve"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

What we like best is that their training tackles the AI threats we're actually worried about today. It’s not just theory; we can run deepfake and vishing simulations in our campaigns, which is a unique and powerful way to prepare our team for what’s really out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

No current ability to block access to email or limit access for repeated clickers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adaptive Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adaptive Security solves two main problems. First, it replaces outdated, generic security training with modules that are simpler, more engaging, and actually relevant to our team.

Second, and most importantly, it prepares us for modern, AI-powered cyber attacks. Unlike our previous platform, we can now actively run simulations for threats like deepfakes and vishing. This gives our employees direct, practical experience with the realistic and sophisticated attacks they are likely to face, making our organization far more secure.

Outbound deepfake and vishing testing aren’t available yet due to current regulatory limits, but once cleared, they’ll make the platform even more comprehensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The future of Security Awareness training"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The ability to create AI persona's of our exec team is incredible. The "More Urgency" button in AI scenario generation using OSINT allows us to create custom and relevant phishing simulations that are exactly what a threat actor would do if they did their homework on us. Deepfake awareness training modules are lightyears ahead of anyone else I’ve seen. It's also incredibly easy to setup, integrate with Microsoft or Google, and easy to administer. The customer support team has been quick to respond to questions and feature requests too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

I honestly can't think of anything I dislike about Adaptive so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

""Real World" Training and Phishing Testing"

5/5

What do you like best about Adaptive Security?

The most helpful feature is the platform’s ability to combine education with real-world testing. The phishing tests provide valuable insights into user behavior, while the training modules reinforce good practices immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adaptive Security?

Not much, maybe some of the customization options for phishing templates could be more flexible (even though they can be customized), maybe when tailoring campaigns to specific departments or threat types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
