Very useful tool to improve infosec culture in our company!
- dashboard
Start watching and learning at the same time!
- We don't use this function.
KnowBe4 is an outstanding value and easy to use
- I haven't found anything to be difficult or cumbersome with the training services except for implementing the Phish Alert Button on mobile devices, but that is a function of limitations placed on the interface by the email provider, not the KnowBe4 team or product.
KnowBe4 is just a fantastic product!
- Nothing
KnowBe4 Security Training: the training you need. Now.
- none
KnowBe4 is great!
- Getting the phishing hook to work on all browsers/phone apps
- None that I can think of.
Information Security Approved
Typical KMSAT Use Case
- The smart groups need more logic options
- Full automation isn't really possible
- Some glitches
Know how aware your users are Be4 you get phished!
- Starting a campaign
- Individualizing campaigns
KnowBe4 Review for TrustRadius
- Integration with apps.
- Multi Language.
- Sometimes accessibility.
- A few parts of the UI can be less intuitive, but after using it for a short time it becomes second nature.
KnowBe4 Is Not Perfect But It Is Very Useful
- There really wasn't anything that was difficult
From a mostly user point of view
- I have not run into anything that has been difficult
Relatable and Relevant Content
- None that I can think of
- not that I'm aware of
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training - Review
- importing AD users
- Timezone configuration
KnowBe4 - the name says it all
- setting up the trainings can feel overwhelming when you do not do it often
KnowBe4 Is a Great Offering for Any Size Organization
- Direct ingest of messages to bypass exchange filtering
The Best in Breed for InfoSec Training and Awareness
- The employee dashboard for training could use improvement. It should be structured in campaign hierarchies instead of just showing individual modules.
- The ability to amend campaigns after they start would make campaign management better.
- The changing of csv file format without notice makes using the files problematic.
6 out of 10
- Login to the portal
- Setting up landing pages
You Can't Afford To Be Without It
- Create custom templates for campaigns
KnowBe4 is worth the cost!
- Setting up the Phish alert button.
- Figuring out which report to run to grab the exact metrics that are needed.
KnowBe4 Review
- AD sync is somewhat complex
