Re: Anyone is using KnowBe4 for information security and phishing awareness training?

[Jeff Choo <jeff_choo () WILLIAMJAMES EDU>]

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies.  At the end we decided to stay with SANS for user training.  While the pricing for KnowBe4 
is very competitive and I think their training portal management GUI is much better designed than SANS STH, the 
training courses provided however don’t provide the topic depth we needed in regards to various compliances including 
HIPAA and Gramm Leach Bliley.  However we are signing up with them on the Compliance Manager and Phishing training they 
offered.

Many thanks and happy holidays!

Jeff

We've been using them for over a year and have been pretty satisfied. Its pretty simple to set up training, users, and 
phishing templates in the system. We have just relied on the built in reports rather than data export. Feel free to 
reach out to me directly with further questions.

Thanks!

We aren't using them (currently using SANS content in our own LMS), but I looked at it before.  At the time, one of the 
limiting factors was the inability to bulk export the results for our use/analysis.  Make sure their data export 
capabilities meet your needs.

Hi All,

Happy Holidays!

We are currently using SANS STH for our ISA training needs.  However we got approached by KnowBe4 and they do have 
comparable features and competitive price and it seems to be more manageable than SANS.  I am wondering if anyone has 
used or currently is using KnowBe4 and would like to share opinion on this product.  Please feel free to reply to the 
forum or to me directly.

Many Thanks,
