KnowBe4 is just an overall better product. Sophos Phish Threat is very basic in comparison, and the training campaigns are not as intuitive.

Sophos Phish Threat does not really come close to KnowBe4, at least in the older version we used. I would say in comparing the two of them, KnowBe4 benefits from having more advanced security experts on their staff to keep training fresh and up to date. Lots more here to like.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training has more flexibility with putting together phishing campaigns over Sophos when it comes to content, landing pages, etc. I would say, though, that Sophos tracking of who opened, clicked, and did or did not report is a little more robust than …

Sophos' product was offensive to women, frankly--it always showed the woman as the dumb secretary that clicked something her boss had told her not to. It was a decent product otherwise. KnowBe4 has great simulated emails but the training modules could be better.

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

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.

The training videos we have access to are high quality, and provide a wide variety. The Inside Man videos has a cult following within our organization, and has driven a much greater interest in security awareness. And KB4's willingness to negotiate pricing for us as a nonprofit has been very valuable to us as well.

It is easy to use and setup. You can schedule the Phish email test to be sent out in the future or right away. You can also send to all users in your list as well as stagger so all users do not get the email at the same time and tell each other there is a test going on

Support is solid but not spectacular. While I haven't used support for Phish Threat specifically, this is a general rating for Sophos' support across the board.

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.

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!
