Comparison

KnowBe4
Depends
Confidence: Medium
Solid pick for mid-size and larger organizations with compliance mandates and IT admin bandwidth.
| Compare | EasyLlama | KnowBe4 |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Worth it | Depends |
| Best for | HR teams facing state harassment-training mandates | Compliance-heavy industries (finance, healthcare) |
| Who it's not for | Teams with no legally mandated training | Small teams . per-user pricing and admin overhead dwarf the value |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. | No confirmed customer-platform breach found; several product CVEs and two disclosed incidents (2024 insider hire, 2025 data release). |
| Support quality | Mixed anecdotes only; insufficient evidence | 1.9/5 Trustpilot per third-party analysis |
| Public sentiment | Reviews are strongly positive on ease of use and course quality, with a minority complaining about pricing and sales practices.¹ | G2 reviewers are broadly positive, but r/sysadmin and r/msp threads show growing gripes about pricing, support, and switching to alternatives.11 |
| Biggest gotcha | Annual per-seat contracts; expect a sales quote rather than transparent checkout pricing¹ | 1.9/5 Trustpilot across 39 reviews . read recent ones before multi-year commitments13 |
