I haven't used Mimecast Awareness Training before but my company left MAT and moved to KnowBe4 and hasn't looked back. From what I was told, the Mimecast solution was lacking in content and quality questions and answers. Now Arctic Wolf just came out with their own Awareness …
We have used Mimecast Awareness Training platform in the past but hit quite a few bumps in the road during integration and deployment. We had to submit a few bug reports to their support team just to get some of their features working. We do use them as our email filtering …
We prefer KnowBe4 from a granularity perspective as well as a simplicity perspective. I do sometimes like the Mimecast training better, but overall KnowBe4 is better for me
We decided after demos from both companies.KnowBe4 seemed to be more engaged and they could tailor trainings to more specific job roles. We also liked their management platform much better as it was easy to navigate and work through items on it. The management platform allows …
We selected KnowBe4 because of the value of the money spent. No one else has the breadth and depth of training, testing, and knowledge articles, as well as a first-class support program to go with it. We would pick KnowBe4 over any other product still today, four years after …
KnowBe4 showed superior content and integration with our technology stack. Their overall platform is easily configurable and doesn't tie into an SEG as most of the other offerings do. Allowing us to be flexible with our use case and continue to train no matter our selection of …
Barracuda's email's tricked more of our users and looked more believable. Since Barracuda is at no extra cost with their email filtering, we have decided this will be our primary solution. Their training is less polished and effective. Others do not have content or management …
Mimecast just didn't stack up in terms of the type of communication that was easy to use for our end users. KnowBe4 was clearer and more easily imported into our LMS.
We found KnowBe4 to be the best match for our needs and it covered all of our requirements. The competition did not have some basic needs like sending a security training at an exact time on a certain day, instead, we were expected to accept having Sat/Sun off days, when we …
We performed a bakeoff against Proofpoint, Mime cast, and KnowBe4. KnowBe4 had more content and flexibility to automate processes. The PhishER tool was a great addition that we didn't even know we had and has improved our security operations significantly also. KnowBe4 had a …
Only upside was the training videos were very well received. Other than that, phishing training, phishing reporting, user management, user risk measurements/profiling and tie-ins to email's being reported (e.g. PhishER) were greatly lacking.
Unfortunately, I did not have time to explore the other solutions, I saw a couple of demos and met KnowBe4 and I was sold on the product particularly because it addressed some gaps we had identified.
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training provided a wider variety of training materials and topics than other vendors. The management capabilities and flexibility in communicating with the trainees were deciding factors. Cost per user was a key contributor to the purchasing decision …
KnowBe4 is just a better more focused solution. We use Mimecast, but not the awareness portion. We also used Barracuda at one time also, but KnowBe4 is better.
Highly engaging, short and sharp and relevant. Other solutions we found to be nonengaging and not suitable for Australian audiences. The training was to long in length and employees would often just avoid the training all together.
