"Surprised how much I like this product"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The depth and variety of training offerings are quite impressive. They even have items for DEI training, which I did not expect. The product works great. After you send out a training or phishing campaign, the emails are sent out quickly or exactly in the manner you specify if you want them staggered. I also use the product to send out monthly phishing tips. I set it up and I don't have to remember to do it each month - it just goes. KnowBe4 support is FANTASTIC. Anything you want, they help immediately. They also stay in touch with you to ensure you continue to use the product and appreciate your investment.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It can be a little tricky to set up initially and learn how to set up campaigns. They will set up a training call (or multiple) to get you started. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but now that I have it, it is such a great tool.

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

Ongoing emphasis on security awareness and phishing techniques. We are just starting our first enterprise-wide training effort, so I can't fully comment on the benefits to date. The library is expansive so the possibilities are endless.

The only issue we have had was with our smart groups; we would like to see the and/or option.

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

The training is very broad of what classes they offer. We use KnowBe4 for all of our annual security training, as well as clicker training for employees that fail the monthly phishing test.

"Best Security Training on the Market for the Masses"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

While some may say that the trainings are basic, and that may be true, I feel that they are designed this way because so many computer/technology users are coming from different levels of familiarity and KnowBe4 helps to get everyone at a consistent level.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

As an advanced user or power user (and not a system admin or security analyst), there are times that I wish I could just skip to the questions or the end so that I can get through the training. However, I have found that even for myself because of subtleties in how trainings are given and the questions are asked, it is still important to go through the training so that concepts are understood from the perspective of KnowBe4.

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

Some computer/technology do not know the basics because of their lack of experience, training, or desire to stay up to date with the latest trends with security. KnowBe4 does a great job of leveling the playing field.
