Overall Satisfaction with KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

We are using KnowBe4 for all our users, that have email accounts. It is a very effective tool, to give our users the knowledge needed to prevent being tricked by phishing and social engineering attacks. The videos are both entertaining and informative. The training is easy to understand for our users and it is entertaining enough to keep their attention and remember what they learned. Email phishing attacks are very concerning and we have seen a dramatic drop in users clicking on bad messages and handing out credentials since we started the KnowBe4 training.
  • Keeps our users informed of current ways they can be attacked.
  • Training is informative and entertaining.
  • Users enjoy the training and are asking us for more.
  • You really need to be on one of the top 2 license tiers, to get the most benefit.
  • Would be nice to have some more options for what phishing test emails are sent out.
  • Could use a bit more automation, for test campaigns.
  • Decreased number of system breaches.
  • Decreased number of machines infected by nasty emails.
  • Decreased number of compromised accounts.
KnowBe4 had training, that was just as good but cost us less. Cost is a big factor for us, as we are 100% employee-owned, but we don't want to skimp on the quality of training. KnowBe4 is easy to use and implement. The training has lowered the time our techs are dealing with compromised email accounts and virus remediation.

It is vital, to have new training coming in all the time. Attackers are constantly changing the ways they are coming after us. Phishing emails are getting so good, that even a trained eye can't always tell if it is legitimate or not. The variety of training we get keeps the users engaged and learning.
We have phishing campaigns that go out to all users, at least once per month. If they fail on any of the phish test messages, they get automatically enrolled in additional training courses. The more they fail, the more we send to them. If you are keeping your eye on things and not clicking on messages you should not be, then we send out fewer simulated phishing attacks.
Number one would have to be a number of failed simulated phishing messages. It's great to know exactly which users click happy and not pay attention to what they are doing. We are then able to train them on what to stop doing and what they should be looking for.
KnowBe4 training is invaluable for anyone that uses email, for both home and business. Most users are ignorant of the ways they are being attacked on a daily basis. We have multi-layered security for our email system, but end-user training is by far the most important. No matter how tight you have your email security, there will always be something that gets through the filters and if your users are not trained to stop, look and think about what they are doing, all those fancy security features you have implemented are useless.
