Creative Content Director Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to understand for a beginner to cyber security & simple to navigate for the less tech savvy. " February 16, 2018 4.0 It has helped raise awareness for workplace CyberSecurity in our firm. More people are checking where an email is from and have learned to be hesitant to click on something that seems a little off. Pros It was VERY easy to use and understand from both the consumer and admin side. The navigation was clear and out of a firm of 70, no one had to ask me for help with how to use it. Cons For someone more adept & aware, the cartoon depictions seem too simplistic. Varying levels of of information would have been nice. Say I take a quiz and fall mid-range and then can learn more advanced information than someone who doesn't know what clickbait is. Review Source KS Ken S. Director InfoSec and Audit Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ThreatAdvice - NxtSoft Support and Assistance in the Top of their Class" March 24, 2021 5.0 The experience overall has been very positive. I'd call this the model for how a vendor should support their solution. Pros The fact that the solution is backed by world class professionals that are very responsive to the needs of customers and providing updates and information in a timely manner. Cons Slightly less feature rich compared to some alternatives, but I feel this is made up for significantly by the support and willingness of NxtSoft to be nimble and adjust to customer needs and desires. Reason for choosing ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity Education The managed service and outsourced resourced, plus a customer was switching from KnowBe4 that I trust very much and helped recognize the value. Switched from [Barracuda Security Awareness Training](https://www.capterra.com/p/178502/Barracuda-PhishLine/) Cost and increased flexibility to use the training modules. Review Source Response from ThreatAdvice March 25, 2021 Wow, Ken, thank you for your kind words. We are ecstatic to hear that your experience overall has been very positive. The fact that you call ThreatAdvice Educate "the model for how a vendor should support their solution" means the world. We will be passing on the feedback to our team. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. MP Maurice P. Science Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ThreatAdvice is ineffective for applications." August 29, 2023 2.0 My overall experience with ThreadAdvice Cybersecurity Education is that it does not work. If I am being fooled by Phishing attacks with my personal technical experience, I can only imagine how ineffective the training has been for others who have used it. Pros It does illustrate the degree of the problem with cybersecurity. Cons ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity Education does little to prevent the actual threats.Multiple choice questions are not the best way to test whether someone has the concept. It would be nice if ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity Education used a variety of Phishing questions in actual training instead of sending out fake messages after the fact. If someone answers as many as 2 out of 12 of the messages, clearly the training is ineffective. Instead of giving the employee a "Medium risk" evaluation, ThreatAdvice should be giving the ones that wrote the training a poor evaluation. Using words like "Always" and "Never" in your true false questions are an indicator of how lousy your training methods are. I have programmed for 4 years and have taught for 8 years. I am not "Medium risk" for falling for a phishing scheme. Review Source RB Robyn B.

Cons Some of the content is a little too "light" for my taste, but that's more a personal preference than it is a critique of ThreatAdvice.

March 24, 2021 5.0 This has been a huge benefit to our organization to assist our small IT staff with security training and monitoring. Pros I love the interface for the software and how easy the interface is to navigate. I also love the Daily and Weekly Trivia. It is really useful for engaging our members. The Educational Videos are very easy to watch and very informative as well. Cons One negative issue with the software is around the vulnerability assessments. They assessments give you an overview of the issue but I wish they gave more guidance on how to resolve the issues.

Setup was super easy and we deployed semester of training to all employees. We ran a phishing campaign and had remedial training for those that failed. Pros Easy to Deploy Account Manager/Technical Assistance Ease of Use for Users Phishing Campaign Training Videos (longest 6 minutes) Daily Trivia Nice Analytics Vulnerability Scans and Policies Cons Training can be too easy at times, the quizzes that follow the training are so obvious.

COO Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Experience" February 19, 2018 5.0 Some very simple advice was easy to implement. I look very carefully at the e-mail that comes in now. Pros Short enough lessons that you could do one in about 5-7 minutes. If it was close to the end of the day, or you had just a few minutes before lunch, you could knock out one or two in no time. Cons I can't think of anything that I didn't like. Maybe the cartoon figures could have been a little more exciting to look at. :-) Review Source JG Jason G. Director of HMIS + Policy Compliance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great System and People to support it!" February 19, 2018 5.0 Pros I like it's ease of use. Great User-Interface. The Training and technical support was great! Everyone was friendly and helpful! The price is also affordable for smaller size businesses. Cons I would like to be able to customize our policy section a little bit more. I am also a little confused about whether the simulated email went out to catch our users in click&bait scams. Review Source DK David K. Policy & Compliance Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great training tool for our staff" March 15, 2018 5.0 Pros We have utilized this software to help training our officers in dealing with potential threats on campus. It was easy to use and easy to get tech support as needed. Review Source RS Roger S. SVP, IT Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great so far, easy to use." February 16, 2018 4.0 I like the web based concept in order to be able to login and out when I need to in order to finish the course work. I picked up a few things too! Pros Web based and self paced. The time frame in which I could finish each module was about right for me. Cons Like to see more admin functions. Would like as an admin to see the scores of the test results on each person in the group.
