Featured Reviews

Kevin - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable learning pathways and phishing simulations contribute to user training and security awareness
I like that it provides a customizable learning pathway, allowing me to both use preset tracks and customize them if I wish. The phishing simulations are valuable as they allow end users to understand their mistakes without real-world consequences. This solution helps train users on what to look for in security threats, contributing to the prevention of user errors that may lead to breaches.

Customizable features and seamless setup enhance security training
In my opinion, some of the most valuable features of Proofpoint's ZenGuide include the customization, allowing us to add our own branding and themes to the automated emails that are sent, as well as the training. The phishing simulations, from what I've seen so far, run pretty well. There's a significant amount of campaign options to choose from. I appreciate how customizable they are so that we can fine-tune it to specifically target things related to what we work on. The training content seems comparable based on what I've seen compared to other tools such as KnowBe4 ( /products/knowbe4-reviews ). The implementation of Proofpoint's ZenGuide has affected my IT team's workload regarding email security management, but not significantly. Most of these features seem fairly automated and easy to set up. For example, setting up a phishing campaign doesn't take too long, so it hasn't affected us substantially.

Pros

"I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"I like that it provides a customizable learning pathway, allowing me to both use preset tracks and customize them if I wish."
"I would definitely recommend Proofpoint's ZenGuide to others, as I think the branding and the ability to add your own branding on all different avenues, through the email communications, training, simulations, and everything, is probably the biggest advantage I've seen so far."
"Most valuable is the SSO integration with our AD, so the users can employ our federation service to log in."
 

Cons

"It is somewhat confusing at first, especially for onboarding."
"It is somewhat confusing at first, especially for onboarding. The existing complexity is partly because the product wasn't built from the ground up by Huntress, which might contribute to certain elements lacking Huntress's typical simplicity."
"We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management."
