Best fit for
Organizations of any size needing security-awareness and compliance-training programs with measurable completion tracking
What stands out
One of the largest security-awareness training providers by customer count, with a training library that maps directly to the awareness-training requirements most compliance frameworks include
Worth knowing
G2 and Gartner Peer Insights reviewers repeatedly flag weak native Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365 connectors and a training library so large it is hard to navigate, and buyers report steep renewal uplifts. Compliance training is sold as a separate Compliance Plus add-on rather than included in the base security awareness tier.
