User Testimonials
	Hook Security	SANS Security Awareness Training
Likelihood to Recommend	Hook Security Hooks has allowed us to be a bit more agile in our training and testing with phishing scams. Hooks reports allow us to identify people who we need more help to identifying phishing emails. By implementing the the monthly phishing campaigns, we can then provide specific training for individual facing issues in particular areas Incentivized AK Ankit Kumar Technical Support Engineer Read full review	SANS Institute SANS Security Awareness Training program would be well suited for a large organization that needs to develop multiple training programs with different courses based on the roles of the end users. It seemed a bit difficult at times to achieve simple setup processes because of the configurations tailored to larger, more complex organizations.

Incentivized AK Ankit Kumar Technical Support Engineer Read full review	SANS Institute Variety of cyber threat videos and presentations Web based and mobile access to the platform Easy to manage administrator access to configure the training sessions Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Hook Security It would be nice to be able to customize templates even more and brand them. Automatic course enrollment for new employees should be simplified. Interface could be more streamlined. Incentivized AK Ankit Kumar Technical Support Engineer Read full review	SANS Institute Mass import of users was a bit confusing User interface was sometimes not intuitive Ability to upload custom content was difficult to use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Hook Security No answers on this topic	SANS Institute We actually are currently migrating to Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because of its integration with the Proofpoint email filter. This will allow us to target specific users who are clicking on bad emails with specific training material. We have used KnowBe4 in the past as well, but it was rather costly compared to SANS Security Awareness Training and Proofpoint. SANS Security Awareness Training seems to be the least easy-to-use interface from an administrative perspective compared to the other two. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Hook Security Ease of enrollment for training new users. Monthly email campaign to test our users. Getting clients to address the fundamentals of cyber security in short and capture behavioral data. Incentivized AK Ankit Kumar Technical Support Engineer Read full review	SANS Institute Positive impact knowing we are educating our staff from phishing and potential cyber criminals Considering the potential for bad actors infiltrating our network, this is a small expense Pricing based on actual end users, worth the investment Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
