Cofense LMS vs. Infosec IQ

LMS is a more appropriate choice to be used if the organization is large and has multiple verticals where the trainings differ to a great etent from vertical to another vertical. However if the company is a small scale org with limited hierarchy, any open source portal is enough to serve the purpose.

InfoSec IQ training is considered part of the base entry-level security stack we offer and recommend to our customers. InfoSec IQ is great for SMBs that do not have a designated IT staff. We can set up, deploy, and manage employee security awareness training for those customers. And for our larger or CoMIT customers who do have their own IT personnel, the MSP multi-tenant platform allows for customer admins to access the portal and manage their own training as much or as little as they choose.

So far this platform has worked really well for our company. Feedback has been great from our users because training is interesting, interactive and always being updated. Phishing simulations have been extremely helpful for us to stay compliant with ISO requirements and provide insight into areas we need to improve upon to educate our users better and make them more aware of vulnerabilities and threats

Incentivized

It works very good for our company because it is easy to maintain and easy to keep track of people who followed the trainings. We can add and remove people very easily and can keep track of the trainings. Because of this, we are able to chase users that did not follow their training yet and can make sure the company is aware of security risks.

We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

It is so very easy to set up and use and get going with, which makes the implementation process very quick and efficient.

Cofense LMS works well at our environment due to it well know security awareness training without any complications. Ease to get support documentations & end users feedback. While in MetaCompliance Support & documentation was not that easy for end users.

Infosec [IQ] is lightyears ahead of cofense. They did not even have training videos on their platform. The cost for cofense also went up by nearly triple for education. Creating phishing emails was a chore and some things were not possible. Infosec [IQ] has much better templates and creating emails from scratch is a ton easier.

Pricing per user is reasonable for an annual contract. Not a bad investment considering that phishing emails and other threats are popping up daily in our users email accounts. Imagine if they did not know how to identify threats and how to be more careful in clicking links, it would have a been a far more expensive endeavor to recover from a network attack.

They're well fitted for my business requirements. Reporting fraud actions and data piracy is important for my company's healthy life. More restricted access to hacking thus ensuring a safe workplace

• Trainings made user more aware of the security attacks they are vulnerable to
• Strengthened the overall security posture of the company
• Detterent control as incase the the personnel are not able to finish off their training, it is followed by HR action.

• This has improved the culture of phishing awareness from one of embarrassment to a challenge of not getting caught.
• I owe this more to our own procedures, but there was considerable upkeep in managing users.
• There was more time in notifying users and managers than I would have liked.
