Security Awareness Training
Comparison of Security Awareness Training features of Product A and Product B
For regular user level training this is very effective, but for more "high roller" type users this can be a bit of a generic approach that doesn't go down as well or is engaging.
Terranova Security Awareness Platform may be a good start for companies that want to onboard employees in Security Awareness programs. Integration is well done and full support is accorded. Managed services are really good for what you buy. Reporting is really lacking and you cannot except more than what the platform has. No exact roadmap is presented and nor real ETA for what to expect in the future.
I’ve parked the slider at a solid 10 because the platform keeps proving its worth every quarter. Staff phishing‑click rates have plunged from double digits to low single digits, our audit team finally stopped chasing overdue modules, and—bonus—engagement surveys show people actually enjoy the bite‑sized, comedic flavoured content. The built‑in reporting lets me walk straight into the boardroom with clean metrics. Minimal admin, measurable behaviour change, and zero eye‑rolls from end‑users—hard to ask for more.
I pegged usability at a full‑blown 10 because even my least tech‑savvy colleagues—think “still double‑clicks web links” level—navigate the portal without ringing the help‑desk. Single‑sign‑on drops them straight into the next module, the interface looks like Netflix for cyber nerds, and the progress bar shouts “two minutes left” instead of burying them in menus. On the admin side, I spin up campaigns in three clicks, clone content on the fly, and the drag‑and‑drop scheduling means I can rejig a whole quarter’s plan during the time it takes the kettle to boil. Zero training manuals, zero grumbles, zero excuses—just smooth sailing from login to completion.
Its the best, hands down. Great, easy to use and on point content that injects some humour into the training makes it relevent whilst staying engaging. We have seen our engagement scores almost double since using Mimecast, with completion rates across the buisness above 90% compared to previous scores on less than 50%.
The product is quick and responsive. Emails alert the staff of new training content and provides a direct link to the training video. They watch, learn and than answer a brief question to test their knowledge. This feeds into the users risk profile in which additional training can be automatically applied based on a risk scores.
We have had a couple of instances where we needed to contact customer support for our minecast cyber awareness training. The team were great and easy to deal with. The problem in itself was minor, and turned out to be our issues and understanding setup, however the mimecase team walked us through the issue and it was resolved exceptionally quick.
I gave implementation a rock‑solid 10 because, frankly, it was smoother than a servo sausage roll at 2 a.m. SSO clicked in on the first try, directory sync hoovered up all the user data without mangling job titles, and change comms went out on time—no “surprise training” backlash. Key insight: involve your internal comms or HR crew from day zero so the launch emails feel like a friendly nudge, not a phishing attempt. We also ran a pilot with our most cynical techs; their nit‑picks helped us tweak permissions before unleashing it on the masses. Finally, schedule the baseline phishing test after staff receive the kickoff memo—sounds obvious, but it spares you the angry “gotcha” emails and makes the resulting metrics actually meaningful.
We selected Mimecast Awareness Training mainly for the humorous awareness training videos. The non-humorous videos on other platforms got much fewer views and penetration with our staff.
Terranova Security Awareness Platform, compared to other products from the same line does very well in: 1. Managing services compared to: - KnowBE4 where managed services are very expensive and self configuring, managing is really painful - Microsoft Security, where those services are not provided but are simple to manage 2. Animated interactive modules. This option is not provided across other providers
Mimecast Awareness Training is so easy to use, a child could set it up. One of the major benefits of the platform is its ability to easily prepare a years worth of content. As new users enter the organisation, its integration with Microsoft makes it easy to onboard the user and have then catch up on training.
