Adaptive Security

What do you like best about the product?

Adaptive makes course creation easy with AI, and the training content is current and modern, especially around AI and security. The platform is intuitive to use, and the phishing triage capabilities for email threats add practical value. It is especially helpful for startups because it simplifies course creation and management. The seamless Rippling and Drata integrations also make onboarding and compliance workflows easier to manage.

What do you dislike about the product?

I have not encountered any major issues so far. Additional reporting customization, more granular reporting filters, and further minor navigation refinements would be helpful as our program grows.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adaptive gives us an easy way to create and manage modern AI and security training without building every course from scratch. For a startup, the AI-assisted course creation and intuitive platform simplify administration. The phishing triage capabilities provide practical support for email security, while the Rippling and Drata integrations make employee onboarding and compliance workflows easier to manage. Overall, it provides strong value as a modern learning platform for AI-native companies.

What do you like best about the product?

The training content is engaging, modern, and relevant and the AI-powered phishing simulations feel realistic.
The platform was easy to set up and manage from day one and a noticeable step up from our previous security awareness solution.

What do you dislike about the product?

Minor wish for additional report customization options, otherwise its been amazing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It very quickly replaced our previous security awareness platform and we saw better employee engagement almost immediately.
The AI-powered phishing simulations and training content are more realistic than what we had before.
Clean reporting and easy management make it simple to track progress across the organization.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Adaptive Security is the continuous identifying of risk, prioritizing what matters, and responding faster than traditional tools. Some of the tools include the following:

Continuous threat detection and risk visibility: Instead of one time checks, Adaptive keeps monitoring signals to spot suspicious behavior and emerging threats.

Automation for investigation and response: Helps reduce analyst workload by triaging alerts, correlating events, and suggesting or executing next steps.

Context-aware findings: Not just “something is wrong,” but more actionable insights (why it’s likely an issue, affected assets, and recommended remediation).

Reporting and compliance support: Dashboards and audit ready outputs that help show security posture over time and support governance requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?

My only dislike was the whitelisting process. Since we use Barracuda and Microsoft 365, we ran into some challenges ensuring everything was whitelisted correctly in both systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One major benefit is that when our environment experiences multiple instances of the same type of phishing attempt, Adaptive allows us to remove them in just a few clicks. This saves time and enables our team to start analysis much sooner.

What do you like best about the product?

The team is responsive, flexible and willing to work with us on contract terms and implementation. They have comprehensive and interesting infosec training content that our users actually enjoy watching. The realistic and customized phishing, vishing, and deepfake campaigns are excellent. The tool is also easy to set up and configure.

What do you dislike about the product?

The onboarding process could have been more in depth in terms of reviewing and understanding the platform and all the features available to us, so we are still exploring the full feature set.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Preparing employees for AI-powered social engineering attacks, running realistic phishing simulations that measure our readiness, and helping us build a proactive security culture through education and testing.

What do you like best about the product?

AI-driven phishing simulations feel authentic and genuinely challenge employees.
Training modules are modern, relevant, and easy to roll out across the team.
Intuitive platform with excellent support from the customer success team.

What do you dislike about the product?

More content variety is always welcome, but the current library has been strong

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needed a security awareness platform that employees would actually engage with and complete.
Phishing simulations raise awareness across the organisation and help reduce risk.
Straightforward platform management frees up IT time for other priorities.

What do you like best about the product?

This feels like a significant step up from our previous vendor. The interface is cleaner, the content is better, and overall it’s much easier to manage.

What do you dislike about the product?

Remediation groups are difficult to manage. You end up needing a separate remediation group for each subsequent phishing simulation failure, which makes the process harder to maintain over time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We moved from a legacy security awareness tool to a platform that’s easier to administer and more engaging for end users. It’s also helped us build more consistent security habits across the organization through ongoing training and simulations.

What do you like best about the product?

The ease of use for deploying trainings across the enterprise, the integration of AI into helping rapidly change training to align to evolving threats and their sophisticated phishing simulations.

What do you dislike about the product?

At the moment, I don’t have anything to dislike about Adaptive. The only initial gap we ran into was with their API, but they’ve since improved it and expanded the data available through the API.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides modern security awareness training and phishing simulations that feel practical and engaging, not just compliance checkbox exercises.

Dislike about Adaptive Security is tuning its policy. It provides many false positives and it may lead to additional overhead for legitimate users

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that Adaptive Security solving for me is zero trust security architecture for my application

What do you like best about the product?

The phish alert button has been a real game changer for us. Our team loves it, and it’s become a natural part of how we handle suspicious emails day to day. It was also very easy to deploy and manage, even with a very small IT team.

What do you dislike about the product?

I haven’t found a single thing to be dissatisfied with on the platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s helped keep security awareness top of mind without disrupting our day-to-day work. Even our busiest people have been able to find time to complete the training. It also gives our team a simple way to flag suspicious emails with the Phish Alert Button!

What do you like best about the product?

The Conan O'Brien training content is a real difference maker that connects to our employees, it's funnier and more engaging than anything I've seen from others in this space.
- The quality of the phishing library saved me from building campaigns myself.
- The deepfake training is way beyond others in this space.

More advanced options are coming and it takes some setup with our firewall.
