Infosec IQ vs. Inspired eLearning Security First Solutions

If the company is very small, the Infosec IQ solution might be a little overkill. However, for a medium to large company, I think Infosec IQ is a great tool for providing cybersecurity training, reporting, and assessment testing for all employees. Based on the information gathered during training, testing, etc., it allows the cybersecurity manager to focus on what employees need additional training or potential weak spots in the current training. This is important information to report to senior leadership. It also serves to meet cybersecurity awareness training that may be a compliance requirement for customer contracts, governmental standards, etc

Inspired eLearning is most suited in the Human Resources / Corporate compliance training arena. Workplace Harassment, Code of Conduct and HIPPA offerings are spot offered are professionally produced and work seamlessly in the LMS. Previously, Inspired eLearning offered professional development course work but the reimbursement aspect within Constellation West was cumbersome and we move away from using them as a source for this kind of training. Additionally the coursework seemed to be a bit dated.

• In our case, being in Mexico, a limit to the type of content we can use is the Spanish translation. Not all resources have this option.
• You can set dates for your monthly campaigns, but you are unable to set a time for their launch.

• Numbering and Naming of modules can be improved. I have often released modules in the wrong order.
• Email summary reports could be improved.
• The mobile app is wonderful, however, we use SSO to provide the iLMS to our users so they cannot access the mobile app which is only via user name and password. We'd love to be able to offer both the SSO app pathway and the mobile app!

They continue to work on the interface but there are still weird places where you have to hover to see options come up, weird navigation sometimes. Administering is not my favorite part of it. Need to increase their capability for uploading your own training.

We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

We did not evaluate other products; we have only used internal employee training and self-published material in the past. This is our pilot experience with using a partner to provide training to our users. We chose Inspired eLearning based on their reputation, pricing and their willingness to work with us to deploy solutions based on our project release time frame
