Keepnet vs. KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

If you wanna teach people about pishing and ciber security, how to manage your email safely so nobody sells your info.

I think the most important factor is that our risk has decreased significantly among staff. Our staff is well below the industry (Education) benchmark in terms of users that are "prone to phishing". We also have multiple instances over the years where employees have stopped real efforts to access data illegally or an attempt to take funds from our institution

• Phish tests can be set to various difficulty levels as staff becomes more knowledgeable in catching phish emails.
• Automated phish tests and training save a lot of admin time. The product can also test for phone and USB stick practices.
• The phish alert button in Outlook, along with PhishER and PhishFlip allow easy managing and response to actual phishing emails.
• The interactive training is well designed to cover all types of phishing and safe email and phone behavior.

• Many items in the library aren't applicable to our use case, and it's sometimes difficult to filter out what I'm looking for.
• I don't love the training dashboard, but maybe that's just a "me" thing.
• Setting up groups can be tedious.

No question, KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is a great value to our organization. Properly training our users in the proper use of email and how to be aware of possible dangerous emails is incredibly important now. Also, training users in the best practices for phone calls, as well as internet browsing can prevent data or information from being stolen or exposed. Users have even benefited when using their personal devices as a result of the trainings they have received at work.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is simple to use, simple to administer, effective, with quality content. It is easy to take the training and we have the reminders set so that the longer a user puts the training off, the more frequently they will receive reminder emails. Eventually they get emailed every day until they take the training. But with a simple click, they can get into the training content.

There have only been a handful of outages in the 2 years we have had the product. Even during those instances, parts of the system were still operational

Pages load quickly, filter/sort quickly, and don't slow down or freeze. Everything is smooth and very easy to use. There are a places in the UI where you can forget how to get there, but other than that everything is great. We have had no issues using any part of the website.

Tech prod support is great! I did have to ask for a new customer success rep, needed a more experienced person to match my 12 years of experience running Cybersec training programs. Would suggest that more matching of rep level of knowledge to client level knowledge would help.

Helpful and knowledgeable account managers have helped us navigate and use the system to our full potential

confusing question. I inherited this application so I didnt get any formal training other than the person who was leaving. The CSM provided some later on when I asked in a zoom call

The implementation went really well and KnowBe4 was there the whole time on setup to make sure things were setup correctly. The only thing we had to figure out on our own was to script users automatically being added to security groups. So that when they sync to knowBe4 from AD they are placed into the same/correct groups.

I really dont know anyother service that offers this service, i imagine there are some, but i like keepnet

KnowBe4 offered a significantly more favorable cost-benefit ratio compared to other solutions. Its seamless integration with our existing infrastructure—particularly Active Directory and email systems—was the most compatible with our operational and security requirements.

I was not involved in the pricing, billing or contract terms.

The product scales greatly. As long as you upgrade the license to support the number of users you are needing, adding in those new users is easy. Also getting those users set up with trainings/campaigns is very easy as well

The team was great to work with and took their time to ensure that we knew what we were doing with the product and that it was set up to meet the specific needs of our organization. This wasn't just a cookie-cutter deployment, but rather they focused specifically on our needs.

• There is really no way one can make all the needed trainings with in house resources anymore! The cost for this would be way way more than that of any platform!
• There is no way to even calculate the damage a company would suffer in case of a cybersecurity breach! So the cost for the use of the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training platform if minimal compared to that of a possible breach!
• The cost of creating content for security awareness training is no longer realistic for a company. This is really no option, and it is in no way comparable to the cost of access to the training material available in the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training platform. Also the training content needs to be constantly updated!
