Great for Phish testing
What do you like best about the product?
KnowBe4 is known for its customizable and frequent phishing tests that mimic real-world attacks. This helps our employees recognize and respond to threats more effectively. The training includes videos, quizzes, games, and interactive modules that cater to different learning styles. Kevin Mitnick’s videos, in particular, are a highlight for many users. The platform makes it easy for admins to manage users, assign training, and monitor progress with detailed reporting and analytics. The content is regularly updated to reflect the latest threats and compliance requirements, which is crucial in a fast-evolving threat landscape. The trainings allow gamification for a different learning experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The training content can become repetitive over time, especially for employees who’ve been through multiple annual cycles. We had lower-tier plans and found limitations in customizing training content or phishing templates compared to premium tiers. The remediation of malicious emails was more cumbersome than other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping our human firewall. Most breaches stem from user mistakes—clicking phishing links, using weak passwords, or falling for social engineering. KnowBe4 trains users to recognize and avoid these threats. Traditional training can be boring or ineffective. KnowBe4 uses gamification, humor, and interactivity to boost engagement and retention. Fewer phishing clicks and risky behaviors

The Only IT Initiative I've Implemented Where the Users Asked for More!
What do you like best about the product?
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training does exactly what they advertise. It is relatively simple to setup and runs without much intervention being required. We conduct monthly phishing campaigns and training campaigns. My users have asked if they could binge the training videos. Some departments have taken it upon themselves to print out screenshots from the KnowBe4 website and posted them in their breakrooms without IT prompting. Their support team has been proactively reaching out to me with suggestions for getting the most from the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have any dislikes. I have opened several 'wish list' requests along the way. But these are just areas that I think would enhance the already strong offering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, KnowBe4 helped us check a box on a security checklist. However, overtime, based on user input we are seeing that it is having a positive impact on user's behavior. The number of times users take advantage of the Phish Alert Button has improved since implementing the SAT product.

There can be a lot of setup involved depending on how you want to use KnowBe4.

What do you like best about the product?
Great to assess staff's basic understanding of cybersecurity. I was able to use this information to create other trainings that fit our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
KnowBe4 as a whole is great, but navigation isn't all that intuitive, and around every turn, there is something being pushed that is an upgrade in a price range we cannot move to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This gave me a baseline so that I could plan training that hit our weaknesses.

Maybe it could provide more detailed industry-based examples. For example, we are in the legal industry, here are the phishing attacks that are likely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A huge problem, social engineering leading to hacking and malware.
