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.

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.
Response from ThreatAdvice
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.

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.

Cybersecurity Training for the 21st Century
Reviewed on 24/03/2021
Pros
ThreatAdvice makes it easy to provide high-quality, easily consumable cybersecurity training to employees across an entire organization.
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.
Response from ThreatAdvice
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Happy to see that you are 10/10 likely to recommend ThreatAdvice Educate. We are thankful that you utilize our cybersecurity employee training, and are here if you ever need us!

We have been very happy with Threat Advice and their educational system. Easy to get reports and watch anytime!
Pros
This software was easy to implement and the staff enjoys the education piece. Because they education videos are short--the staff can watch quickly and knock out a few throughout the day!
Cons
none at this time to provide on this topic

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.
Response from ThreatAdvice
Thank you for your great review, John David! It is fantastic that you love the interface of the software, and glad to hear that it has proven to be a big benefit in assisting your IT staff with security training and monitoring. We will pass on your comments about the assessments. Thanks again!

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. :-)

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.

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.
