"KnowBe4 makes Security Awareness Training easy to administer and track!"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

KnowBe4's platform makes creating training campaigns a breeze. Also provides you all the tools needed to notify your employees, track their progress, and even notify their direct supervisors on their progress. It's super simply to get everything setup.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Some of the modules are a little cheesy and surface level, but at the same time it's hard to get people to pay attention long enough to learn anything of value these days. Their succient and quick modules are the most digestible way to providing the information to your employees as I've seen.

What problems is KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were not able to provide any sort of standard Security Awareness Training before KnowBe4. Once we were required to do so by our cyber security insurance company, we immediately reached out to KnowBe4 because we knew they were the industry standard when it comes to easily deployable training modules.

"KnowBe4 IT Security Awareness Training is Feature-Rich"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The integration of the solution's capabilities and features are excellent, and the content of the modules are regularly updated and kept fresh and current. Also the ability to manage the various types of simulated phishing tests alongside the IT Security Awareness Training campaigns in the same portal makes the overall management task very easy and efficient.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The only dislike is the inability to receive feedback on missed questions on the quizzes within the modules (i.e., the correct answer if answered incorrectly). My understanding is, "this was by design."

What problems is KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

The solution allows us to readily comply with the requirements for us to have IT security awareness training, and more.
