MB
Empowers security training through customizable modules and gamification
The integrated learning and management system is very useful as it allows both predefined and custom training modules. The assessment through simulated phishing attacks is a strong feature, enabling checks on the effectiveness of training. Gamification adds value as many organizations appreciate this approach, and the training templates offer a high level of customization. Unlike others, Kaspersky provides this without additional costs, which is remarkable.
TZ
Improves employees' security awareness, integrates with AD, and user synchronization works well
As we have to report the results of each training to different recipients, it will be very helpful when the reporting system is improved. We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management. We need to have archive functions for older training in order to satisfy requests from local regulators.
