KNOWBE4

CAPABILITIES COMPARISON 

KNOWBE4

Phishing Simulations 

Personalized simulations adapt automatically to skill level and confidence using the NIST Phish Scale. Instant feedback and coaching help prevent repeat mistakes and build real resilience.

Phishing simulations utilize template-based tests with preset difficulty levels, requiring manual scheduling and group assignments. Automation options are available, but require additional setup.

Variety of Content

All-inclusive, continuously updated learning built around real threats, microlearnings, and accessibility. Designed to teach critical thinking, not just compliance.

Large catalog of videos and modules designed for awareness training. Users often describe the content as repetitive, dated, or entertainment-focused rather than relevant.

Metrics on Simulations & Real Emails Reported 

Dashboards highlight post-click reporting, repeat clickers, reporter accuracy, and remediation rates. Executives get clear, outcome-focused reports that show progress.

Reporting centers on phish-prone percentages and completion rates. Metrics indicate training activity but offer limited visibility into long-term behavioral change.

Personal Risk Score

Employee-visible, behavior-based score that reveals what drives risk and delivers tailored feedback to motivate safer actions.

KnowBe4’s Risk Score is primarily for admins. It’s not visible to employees by default, illustrating how they view engagement as optional.

Cybersecurity Culture Score

Demonstrates how behaviors influence risk and outlines next steps to enhance security culture.

Measures perception through survey responses vs real behavioral data. Results provide a single snapshot, not continuous insight.

Feedback on Real Phish 

The Analyst automatically triages reported emails and gives instant plain-language feedback to employees. >97% of reports resolved without manual review.

PhishER supports email triage and workflows, but often requires manual review and feedback from admins. Users rarely receive timely responses after reporting.

Integrations & Automated Remediation 

Integrates with major platforms (M365, Google, Slack, Okta, PSA/RMM). Automates training triggers, feedback loops, and reporting for increased efficiency.

Integrations require setup and ongoing management to function effectively. Customers report inconsistent automation and additional admin time to maintain workflows.

Why people are choosing Beauceron over KnowBe4.

ENGAGEMENT THAT LASTS

Instead of repeating the same videos, Beauceron keeps people curious and confident with concise, scenario-based content tied to real events. Users see their own progress and are rewarded for positive behavior, turning fatigue into motivation.

AUTOMATION THAT GIVES TIME BACK

Beauceron closes the loop automatically. Admins no longer have to chase reports or manually assign training, as is the case with KnowBe4. Tools like Beauceron’s Analyst instantly triage real reports, deliver customizable feedback, and keep programs running without the constant babysitting.

PROOF OF PROGRAM PROGRESS & SUSTAINABILITY

Beauceron translates clicks, reports, and behavior into a Security Culture Score that leaders can track over time. Executives and boards get clear, outcome-focused reporting that ties awareness to reduced risk. Leaders finally have proof that awareness programs are working, not just running.

Company Overview & Positioning

BEAUCERON OVERVIEW

Beauceron isn’t “just another awareness tool.” It’s built to measure, change, and prove human risk reduction.

What makes it different: The Beauceron Security platform uniquely measures Security Culture with insights into both individual capabilities and organizational maturity. Every employee can see their own Personal Risk Score move up or down as they act, making security personal and motivating.

If you want measurable culture change instead of just more “training noise,” Beauceron is the only platform that makes it visible, fair, and actionable for everyone.

KNOWBE4 OVERVIEW

KnowBe4 is the leading name in security awareness, recognized for its extensive training library. Customers report that it feels dated and repetitive. Admins often struggle with limited reporting, clunky interfaces, and content that doesn’t reflect real threats: high volume with low impact.

What makes it different: KnowBe4 built its reputation on being first and biggest, not on evolving how people learn. Reviews often mention that updates lag behind modern threats and that reporting offers little proof of improvement.

If you want real culture improvement instead of “check-the-box” training fatigue, Beauceron delivers what KnowBe4 can’t.
