Overall Satisfaction with KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

We use KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training to run our continuous test phishing campaigns for our staff. All users are sent at least one test phishing email, and depending on their responses, they are allocated KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training if they fail the test. The campaigns are super easy to set up, and the content of the test emails are very realistic and provide a good challenge for our staff.

They are a very responsive and helpful support team. Their ticketing system is modern and flexible, and their response times are quick. On average, I received help within 2 hours of my questions being raised. Their engineers are very professional and knowledgeable about the product and do not rush the customer just so they can close their support tickets.

Yes

It's very easy to configure and maintain the portal. The documentation provided is kept up to date and is simple to follow. Some of the layouts, like user management, are a bit off from where you would expect, but with time the admin gets used to it. Their AD Sync functionality works brilliantly and simplifies user management without ever manually adding or removing users to the platform.
Well suited if you want to set up automated security training for your staff as it requires minimum maintenance and interaction with the portal if all the training and campaigns are correctly set up in the first place.
However, it's not suited if you want to run more hands-on practical training for your staff.
