How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates PhishER from other similar products?
Creating a training event is easy, too easy in fact, and it may not be possible to understand the implications of using certain settings. However, customization options can complicate it. Above all, duration. If you specify a duration based on a time period (such as a week) with a condition set to "Allow automatic user registration," the week begins with the user's registration, not the user's start date. Combinations like this can cause a lot of confusion. There is a possibility that the campaign may never end. We were able to import our users into KnowBe4 using CSV.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Some of the features we found beneficial are that Knowbe4 provides an excellent way to reduce the noise in your incident response inbox by providing a smooth, non-threatening conversation flow. Provides machine learning methods to process PhishML technology to give users a sense of security by preventing malicious content from company servers. Easily find and eliminate email threat options by automatically defeating harmful targeted phishing attacks. Finally, the best UI feel is the easy implementation of the alert button. We tried to make it fun and interesting with games that had to teach staff about different areas of security.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There are some areas that need improvement, namely the client user interface where the user feels the placement of buttons and video graphics could be improved. Along with other useful information in the emails sent to all users, this could be greatly improved by adding sections and splitting the data into different views. Finally, as users, we might consider making some improvements to the content collection. Videos, explanations, questions and answers could be more creative, allowing users to get a sense of real-world experience. Much of the content appears to be designed for Europeans, including phishing probes ending in .co.uk and like.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The product is very affordable and offers excellent training in cybersecurity, phishing, spear phishing, whale phishing, phishing, password complexity, social engineering and many other areas. We are a medium sized company that does a fantastic job of training all of our employees, and most of them are very appreciative. There is even a way to load a USB drive with the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training software so that the software alerts you when you insert a USB drive into your computer. This helps identify users who are more likely to grab a random USB drive and plug it in "just to see what's on it."
