KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
If it makes employees aware of the legal requirements that affect their work it could potentially help prevent legal violations that could result in penalties, fines, or even criminal charges. I do think that the compliance plus course work should be a part of diamond status though and not a separate entity.
Compliance training is just as important as security awareness training and should be a part of the same program and same application

Easy but thorough CyberSecurity Training
Adding the Compliance Plus feature was a no brainer. After looking at what they have to offer and the ability to quickly deploy accurate in multiple different locations and languages around the world it was a must have. Being able to deploy this along with the cyber security testing and training package enables them to keep it very cost effective. Being able to deploy all of this from one location makes it very efficient for us.
We started with the Phish testing and training features they offered. From there we upgraded our subscription to include more testing and training features to be more effective towards our goals. We then added the PhishER feature to be more proactive about how we deal with possible threats to the organization. We've added the Compliance plus because it is as well put together as all the cyber training. We continue to look at the additional features KnowBe4 introduces because they are very effective and always at a great price.

My thoughts on KnowBe4
We are preparing to evaluate it.

KnowBe4 is 4 general audiences
There is some value to delivering compliance training this way. I don't know the actual pricing, so I can't comment, but if I extrapolate from other pricing I've seen, it is not very attractive. This kind of training is typically not ongoing and needing regular revision.
The value depends on the need. We have some state mandated compliance training that we are doing through our payroll system. It is specific to the locations that are affected. There is some benefit to having this training tied to a system that is an employee requirement. While security training is important, we have not decided to make it mandatory to the degree that we will terminate an employee if they do not complete the training. Compliance is a requirement not a resource. KnowBe4 does not has this kind of visibility in our firm.

Why you should use KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
I am not involved in the purchase of this product, so I can not answer, though I am sure the University's IT Dept did research on other plat forms before they chose this one, not only for content but for the value as well.

It is good for organization that has no security team to start with.
We are running in parallel on Ninjio.

KnowBe4 thoughts...
Personally I feel its hard to put a price on security and proper training. I do feel we get great value for what we pay as we continuous use this and keep running new training through it on a regular basis. Staff is continuously trained and tested to improve our security posture.
Without this I feel we'd have issues and be in a much worse situation and probably have had multiple successful phishing attacks.

KnowBe4 helps catch phish!
Yes, I do. Price could always be lower, but I believe that it is a fair value.
I gave it based upon being honest, yet knowing that my budget keeps getting squished.

KnowBe4: The Right Choice for Us!
It has paid for itself by helping us as an organization to avoid BEC.

I think the price is fair for KnowBe4 Compliance Plus. It is definitely good value for the price, but sometimes you won't know what that value is until you experience it. I think potential buyers would be more likely to favor it than not. KnowBe4 is at the top for a reason.
I gave this answer because I think the product is a solid and worthy product to have and the price is a fair price to pay. It is not budget-breaking, but also not inexpensive. But it is worth it in the grand scheme.

KnowBe4 - A seamless way to automate amazing cyber security trainings for companies of all sizes.
Yes.
Price wise it is similar to other vendors we assessed but with the automation, reporting, and integration with our other tools we get much better value from KB4.
After seeing what else is on the market versus what Knowbe4 consistently delivers, I would say with no hesitation that Knowbe4 Compliance Plus definitely delivers an excellent value for their price point. They actively produce new material, keep the material informative, engaging, yet light at the same time for the employees consumption. I have yet to find another company offering similar quality and quantity at or near their pricing.
As a user of Knowbe4 training in it's various offerings for quite a few years now, I strongly believe they are the standard at what they do, and the pricing is just icing on the cake in my personal opinion.

A great product for educating your users!
I feel as if the value is fair for what you get. There are always more features that could be added in for no additional cost, but what KnowBe4 gives you will place you in a great state to elevate your compliance needs. Their support is very easy to talk to so if you would like a lower price you can always reach out to negotiate.
I feel as if this accurately represents KnowBe4's value for the price.
I feel Compliance Plus delivers a good value for the price. The information is up to date and the topics covered such as diversity & inclusion, data privacy, data protection and business ethics are all very relevant to the various groups in our organization. Ultimately if the content provide to the employees can lower the risk of our overall company it could potentially pay for itself without having to deal with a higher level of security breaches.
Yes, compared the amount of knowledge and engaged our employees are, KnowBe4 is a great value. We feel our return on investment is well worth the cost and investment.
KnowBe4 is one of the best products we have used and implemented, well worth the investment.

KnowBe4 Review March 2022
Yes I do
When you look for training in general you want to be able to trust the content coming out but not have to pay an extraordinary amount. I am all for paying for good content and know what free to very cheap content looks like. KnowBe4 is perfectly in that sweet spot of what is being charged vs the content being provided.
