    Very similar operation to [KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training]. However, it is based off of one network security guru and his experiences. We like that Infosec [IQ] didn't base itself around one individual.

    I would say that Infosec IQ stacks up evenly with KnowBe4. They have very similar training and awareness videos. I would say that Infosec IQ provides more content for the overall prices. I would say that KnowBe4 provides better product support to ensure you are getting the most …

    Knowbe4's product is good, but its harder to use and the quality of the phishing simulations are not as good quality in my opinion. And the pricing model is difficult. To get the basic stuff we needed we had to buy stuff we didnt and navigate an overly complicated pricing model.

    To be honest I did not like the fact that KnowB4 supports Scientology. It doesn't really have anything to do with the product. I just could not financially support a company giving money to that group.

    Infosec IQ has better, more realistic simulated phishing emails. The training modules are similar, no clear winner there. I like the post-click landing pages from KnowBe4 better.

    It has been a while since I evaluated the other products that I cannot recall all of the other ones (one was Knowb4). I do know for the most part all of them pretty much did the same overall thing, while some had features others did not. In the end, the price, support and …

    Infosec IQ was just better and easier to use. KnowBe4 was our go-to for a long time, but it just doesn't compare. Sophos is good but doesn't provide the same level of complexity or the number of services.

    Both Mimecast and KnowBe4 were much more expensive and could not compete with Infosec IQ on cost offering. Mimecast was also very limited to only security awareness training and only allowed you to choose 12 videos to send out a year (one a month) to your users. Infosec IQ …

    I have used KnowBe4 in the past, and while I did not see a clear cut example of PhishER having a comparison, the ability to schedule tests was fantastic. It was far easier to schedule the number of emails a user was to receive and the time frame of the test. KnowBe4 does not …

    i preferred [Infosec IQ] to Cofense but it was far behind Proofpoint and KnowBe4 in terms of ease of use and detailed user reporting. I would rate it to be a solid platform and Proofpoint competitor but not in the same league as KnowBe4. The training platform and catalog is …

    KnowBe4 is more mature in certain areas, but less flexible in others. For example, we left KnowBe4 because we needed the ability to have better customization options. However, KnowBe4's modules are slightly more polished and have a higher production value. Overall, you need …

    InfoSec had the same tools available to us as KnowBe4, but the Sales team was a pleasure to work with. Also, the solution is more cost-effective for what we were looking for. You are able to grow with the product as time goes on versus, at KnowBe4, we were being hard sold on …
