Considered Both Products	KnowBe4 Michael Mok Director - Head Of Infrastructure in Information Technology at Anglo-Eastern Ship Management Ltd. (Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, 1001-5000 employees) Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Sophos Phish Threat and KnowBe4 are both security awareness training and phishing simulation platforms, but they have some differences. KnowBe4 offers a wide range of training modules and customizable content, allowing organizations to tailor the training to their specific … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 is just an overall better product. Sophos Phish Threat is very basic in comparison, and the training campaigns are not as intuitive. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Sophos Phish Threat does not really come close to KnowBe4, at least in the older version we used. I would say in comparing the two of them, KnowBe4 benefits from having more advanced security experts on their staff to keep training fresh and up to date. Lots more here to like. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training has more flexibility with putting together phishing campaigns over Sophos when it comes to content, landing pages, etc. I would say, though, that Sophos tracking of who opened, clicked, and did or did not report is a little more robust than … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training We have been with knowBe4 before there were any competitors in this market space. KnowBe4's experience continues to outshine its competitors. The last time we looked at these competitors, their features were not close to what we had in our current product, BUT they were less … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training 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 … Incentivized Helpful? David Kontur IT Support Specialist in Information Technology at Neopollard Interactive (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 is leaps and bounds ahead of these competitors and more that we researched against. Overall KnowBe4 continues to stay even more relevant and ahead of the game. The competitors out there are often to obsessed with using buzzwords and fancy marketing terminology. All the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Seems to do a better job of getting the point across to the users in an easy to understand manner and usually is entertaining while doing so. The voice-overs and graphics are pleasant and easy to grasp for almost any user's technical abilities. I would say it is the best in the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 seems to have a lot of smart people running the show as we always get the latest info on new bad emails coming out. You could say they know the hackers before the hackers make a new move! I guess it definitely helps to have white hat hackers on their team! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training seems to be the best product currently versus the competition. They have people working around the clock to see what the next phishing trick will be and make our users and others aware of what to look out for. This is head and shoulders above … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Adams IT Director in Corporate at 4Wall Entertainment (Entertainment, 501-1000 employees) Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Other providers had stale content and a small library to choose from and did not integrate training. KnowBe4 is lightyears ahead of these other providers. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 is much better for basic users than any other system I've looked into. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Sophos' product was offensive to women, frankly--it always showed the woman as the dumb secretary that clicked something her boss had told her not to. It was a decent product otherwise. KnowBe4 has great simulated emails but the training modules could be better. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Beato Director Of Technology in Information Technology at TNTMAX (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training KnowBe4 has been the top leader for a while now. The products researched do not meet the broadness and requirements as KnowBe4 has it. The other tools lack reporting, training modules, tools and much more. Incentivized Helpful?	Sophos Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator in Information Technology at Vast Broadband (Telecommunications, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Phish Threat We selected Sophos as it integrates with our antivirus solution and we only have one dashboard for both. It just made sense to bundle the sophos phish threat with intercept X and antivirus solutions we have in place, and all of it is on a cloud based interface for easily … Incentivized Helpful?
