Manager, Strategic Risk Management at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has provided comprehensive training with a structured approach
From my perspective regarding what can be improved or enhanced in KnowBe4, I would not be able to talk about pricing or areas that are outside my scope of visibility, but just from the quality of the offering itself, I think that it's a pretty good offering. There are no immediate problems, and they take care to consistently ask for feedback and implement it, so there are no major issues outstanding that I can immediately point to. There are some aspects of KnowBe4 that can be enhanced, specifically in the training feature, as a lot of their training is designed for people who are almost entirely computer illiterate, which is fine because you want to be comprehensive in your cybersecurity training. Most people today have some basic ideas on what passwords are and how to use them. I feel that much of the content they have might not be required, and that might cause frustration, especially when you're trying to implement a cybersecurity program where you're training your entire workforce, as it may frustrate someone if they're forced to do training on how to set a password. However, I think that the more complicated things they do about phishing, AI, and social engineering are very important, and the way they do it is very structured and good.
