We have experienced some advanced phishing attacks that evade Defend Defend does not alert on plain text e-mail messages Would like to be able to generate and download meaningful reports
1) Some functionalities - setting up assessments and sending out communication through the dashboard are complex and not very intuitive 2) While additional training is available on request, the process is tedious and time consuming, which creates challenges for teams and regions that rely on them 3) The VRO score does not accurately reflect the overall risk level when an organization does not utilize the full suite of Knowbe4 products, which can lead to misinterpretation of the overall risk level. Additionally, new users are regularly onboarded and having their risk score remain high for 90 days inaccurately skews the organization's overall risk score, making improvements difficult.
User learning curve - End users might find the prompts and notifications confusing, requiring additional support from our end. Reporting depth - While useful, reporting should be more advanced and provide customization and analytics. Administrative complexity - Policy tuning and rule refinement require adjustments occasionally.

Phishing Simulations Effective But Reporting and Assessment Setup Presents Difficulties
The overall KnowBe4 experience has been good, however we have faced challenges. Limited new training content, Preferred training languages readily available and setting up the SAPA and managing communications through the dashboard was complex and created difficulties. Not using all of the KnowBe4 products also impacts how accurately the VRO score reflects our organization. - INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER1B-10B USDBankingReview Source
KnowBe4 Provides an Awesome E-mail Security Platform
The KnowBe4 (formerly Egress) E-mail security products, Defend and Prevent are very effective in preventing and mitigating phishing attacks as well as accidental data loss events. Our users have accepted and embraced these products and that has enhanced their effectiveness. Egress Support has been excellent both in responding to questions and issues and in configuration of the products, but has degraded a bit since KnowBe4 acquired Egress. - IT Security & Risk Management Associate50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Egress Enhances Email Security With Real-Time Prompts And Microsoft Integration
Our overall experience with Egress has been positive. The platform provides strong visibility and control over outbound email communications. User-facing prompts help reduce accidental or intentional data exposure without significant workflow disruption. Something we value in the healthcare industry. - CYBER DEGREE APPRENTICE50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
Egress: Advanced Rule Configuration and Data Loss Prevention
Egress has detailed and granular rule configuration allowing for very specific coverage to fit out exact needs. The prevent dashboard has a large array of detailed information and allows us to monitor and check for data loss across the company. Defend also works very well, allowing for easy monitoring of incoming dangerous emails. The abuse mailbox is particularly good, reducing the amount of time that we previously had to spend analysing user reported emails. - IT SECURITY & RISK MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATE50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
