"Excellent product for phishing simulations"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The use of real phishing emails as templates to send out to your user base allows you to inform and educate staff on the latest trends. The ability to send emails to individuals or highly vulnerable groups is another great feature that helps drive home the message about what users should be looking for.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Recently, there has been more of an emphasis on templates in languages other than English. While I understand their desire to expand into more markets, I would like to see more effort put into adding additional templates in English. Also, I cannot filter templates, so I only see one language. Lastly, no domains have been added to the list or URLs used in the phishing emails. Advanced users spot the existing domains right away, spoiling the surprise element.

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

KnowBe4 is used for phishing awareness training. Customizing the phishing tests has allowed me to gain insights into what users are clicking on and create education campaigns to reduce that behavior. It also allows me to report on how our organization is performing versus similar size companies in our industry.

"Powerful and User Friendly Security Training Platform"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Both training and phishing awareness campaigns are highly customizable and provide robust auditing mechanisms. The training material provided by the platform covers a wide variety of topics, with some being quite engaging and enjoyable for users ("Inside Man" in particular). Custom content is easily brought into the platform to cater to unique training requirements.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

A few minor nuanced features are missing (e.g. when sending out "Security Tips & Tricks", there isn't a way to track which specific newsletters have previously been sent out, making it difficult to avoid double-sending content if you have to modify a campaign or create a new one), which would be nice to have, but not required.

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

The primary use case is (as the name suggests) security awareness training for our users. KnowBe4 provides a platform that allows us to do this easily, effectively, and in an auditable way.

"A must have app for Security - Best Security app"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Yeah, it's been Ten months of using the Knowbe4 to learn the security issues about tackling problems, like what to do if we get mail from an unknown person with Phishing links; with these real-time stimulation classes, I have learned many things regarding spam, phishing, etc.

I haven't found any issues with using this learning platform, but the only suggestion I would prefer is if there are any mail alerts for incomplete sessions. It would be so helpful for me because I forgot to complete the sessions.

I haven't gotten bored any time using this platform because the sessions they provide on security are exciting and engaging to listen and participate.

"Great automation tool for E-Learning and compliance phishing training"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Automation is my favorite part. I can easily automate new campaigns for my end users, and also ease of use. the "Clone" function also saves me alot of time instead of re-creating the alerts section when lunching new campains.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

I don't really dislike anything about it. I would say that more opportunity lies in the automation engine that can be utilized. Like email analysis and give you more insight on what end users receive such as "This person from HR received 10 emails about "Crypto" "

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

Compliance and automation. I can easily be compliant with current regulations and know that I have up-to-date information and content that I can trust. I enjoy the phishing and reading about what different campaigns were launched.

KnowBe4 SAT allowed us to quickly and easily roll out an effective training program, see progress reports and even "secretly" test employees to validate the efficacy of training.
