Considered Both Products
Infosec IQ
Chose Infosec IQ
Infosec brings better content, and has the best Spanish library that we found when comparing with others, since we are located in Dominican Republic, we need most of our employees to be able to understand the trainings for a better comprehension, so this why we decided to pick …
Chose Infosec IQ
Webroot also has their own CSAT platform. We were with them before but Infosec IQ is much better and has a lot more content, it is cheaper, most importantly it is customizable. For example, if we want to send out a phishing email and customize it so it really looks real, like …
Chose Infosec IQ
Much lower price, more directed training, support issues are handled in a more efficient way
Chose Infosec IQ
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 …
Chose Infosec IQ
Infosec was recommended by one of our business partners. I am satisfied with our choice.
Chose Infosec IQ
They seemed pretty equivalent. I chose Infosec based on a business partner's recommendation.

I'm very happy with my choice. I cannot overstate how important it is to have training modules which are concise, packed with valuable information, and engaging. The Choose Your Own …
Chose Infosec IQ
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.
Chose Infosec IQ
User friendly interface, ease of management for the admin side and simple integration of Infosec IQ stack up against other contenders that we evaluated
Chose Infosec IQ
Currently considering a switch Current product met the needs at the time.
Chose Infosec IQ
When evaluating potential solutions for their effectiveness and return on investment (ROI), several factors stood out in our decision to choose Infosec IQ: Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration, excellent Support and Customer Service: and scalability/flexibility:
Chose Infosec IQ
I haven't used or been involved in the process of software/programs like Infosec IQ in previous jobs. Most of them were developed in-house as the organizations I worked for were much larger and had staff to design and manage training like these. And since our current MSP has …
Chose Infosec IQ
There is traning modules at workday too but it is almost other world when you use InfosecIQ
Chose Infosec IQ
InfoSec IQ was better positioned to deliver training for all staff, rather than very specific training to all users.

Value for money was far better.
Chose Infosec IQ
I haven't been part of a team during the evaluation period of a product like Infosec IQ. The previous company I worked for had a different group make this decision and this company already had it in place before I joined. Though I would have loved to see what else was …
Chose Infosec IQ
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.
Chose Infosec IQ
In overall value for the investment, Infosec IQ was the favorite.....
Chose Infosec IQ
Knowbe4
Infosec IQ has better content and is a much cheaper Product.
Chose Infosec IQ
I decided to purchase Infosec IQ over the competitors I evaluated because I thought the quality and content of their training modules were better, less expensive, and provided more flexibility.
Chose Infosec IQ
InfoSecIQ was selected and deployed by my colleagues before joining the team so I am not confident in answering this question. However, based on my experience while dealing with Infosec IQ, It provides good training materials with animation and good phishing campaigns. …

Infosec IQSecurity Compass Software Security Practitioner
Likelihood to Recommend
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

Pros
  • Set it and forget it: Multiple recurring options for campaigns to run automatically.
  • Program assistance: The team at InfoSec creates content intended to meet annual training needs and produces how-to and promotional content to help guide resellers in packaging and deploying.
  • Integrates with O365 and can deploy a button to minimize false alarms from employees when they accurately identify training spam.

Cons
  • 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.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • InfoSec IQ has been a profitable addition to our security stack. After getting everything set up, the normal profit margin per customer is 65% - 75%.
  • Many cyber-security insurance policies require some form of mandatory employee security training, and some policy premiums can be reduced based on your organization's training statistics.
  • It has allowed us to have a common "cyber-security" language with our customer base, making support requests flow smoother and breaches addressed quicker. It also lets us establish and enforce a more security-aware workplace tone with our customers.
