Great content and reports, Support tickets could be improved
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the variety of content within the Modstore. Additionally, the creation of smart groups allows for more automation on our end.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever my team reached out to the KnowBe4 support desk with an issue we typically have to wait weeks for it to be resolved. The support desk sends frequent updates that the ticket is still being worked on, but weeks in this industry are just too long. Most of the time, when our problem is resolved, I've already had to adapt and make changes in the way our training or process works.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that could be improved is guiding the user through the vast amounts of training materials they offer. The system does suggest that it's time for another Security Awareness training for your workforce, but then makes you do the selection of training material to include out of their huge library.

Keeping my workforce well-educated on Security Awareness, not only by providing one-off training but by providing a continuous program.

The initial Implementation is easy, do not take a lot of time, just need to allow the domain and IP used by KNOWVE4 in own environment protection, import users using a c,sv fiel or make an easy integration with Active Directory in order to update users automatically. The dashboard offer important and immediate information about the situation of training, organisation risk score, the phishing test situation and phish prone compared with Industry Benchmark data, and others information's as layout is customizable, so I use it frequently, every days to check progress and result. Knowbe4 offer a very good support, easy to contact, just open a ticket and the response is fast and professional, furthermore there is a community with advice, suggestions and experiences of others, very useful for using and improving knowledge on the platform. I suggest to use also in the account settings to activete the Phish Alert button very important to train users to recognise phishing email , if you activate the interation with the Phisher you can also monitor all email reported as a phish and provide feedback to users, useful method to improve the ability to spot a phish, also the use of Badges is very appreciateed by users that try to get all as recognition. the possibility to activatre the Learner Dashboard is also very userful for manager that can monitor and check their team activities. I can provide more information about this platform as it offers many other features and tools but the space available in this session would not be enough, I can conclude with the fact that you you will never get bored using this platform, because it is constantly evolving and exciting.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing relevant, for me since it is important to have all the training available in 23 languages, the only thing I don't like is that I have to wait for the translation when a new training is published.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform is very effective in improving user awareness and preparedness, helping employees change behavior and recognize a threat or spot a phishing attempt. Thanks to this platform, the company has reduced the risks of social engineering, phishing and credential loss. Its use has solved the problem of having to provide periodic, always up-to-date training courses, covering all the main threats and in many languages, given that we have a variety of employees present in offices and factories around the world, it is essential to provide courses in the local language to facilitate learning and understanding of the various topics. I also solved the problem of purchasing different products as there are many integrated tools in the platform that cover all the needs for a complete security awareness program. Also the fact that the platform has a Learner App that allows users to attend training from their mobile phone has solved the problem for factory users who did not have a dedicated PC and therefore could not do the training, but with this app they can do it on your mobile phone without constraints. Even the variety of additional material such as newsletters, posters, documents saved me from having to search for materials on the internet to expand my security culture program which also includes sending and publishing newsletters, posters and security pills.
very happy with the ease with which the training can be done
What do you like best about the product?
It is effortless and also happy with the learner app on my mobile
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if there is more content for Dutch speakers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps users to be more aware of security risks
Excellent user friendly training platform
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely easy to use and setup platform with good reporting and metrics
What do you dislike about the product?
More UK centric training would be good and training focused on Universities as some of the videos are a bit corporate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Both end user security awareness training and regular phishing campaigns
Full package for security and compliance training

KnowBe4 provide a complete package for delivering security and compliance training, with excellent training modules and additional content.

What do you dislike about the product?
Being able to have URL's to link directly to training videos or games would help us promote specific activities in our awareness communications.
Currently employees need to browse the library or use a slow search function to find the recommended module, which reduces our engagement score.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
KnowBe4 support us with building our internal Security culture, and allow employees to increase their knowledge beyond the mandatory training
Easy to start with, but hard to perfect
What do you like best about the product?
You can easily find some relevant trainings and ensure your colleagues are assigned trainings. The whole system is easy to set up and we hardly needed the help of a consultant. When we have a question, Support is quick to respond. Our users find the product easy to use and we've had little to no questions about what to do, even without training them.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot of trainings and e-mail templates in the system, but there are very few filter options. This means you have to review a lot of material as an administrator to determine if it matches your needs. For instance, there are a lot of e-mails about setting a strong unique password, but you have to watch every video to find out which of them recommend a password length of 16 characters to match our organization policy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can now easily prove that our colleagues are trained in security and privacy awareness. The phishing tests also help us measure and compare how well colleagues at different departments and countries are able to identify threats. This helps explain the need for trainings to management.
