Cyberdise vs KnowBe4

A KnowBe4 alternative that runs where your policy says

KnowBe4 is the biggest name in awareness training, with a library to match. Cyberdise is for teams that want to choose where it runs and keep a person in charge of every AI campaign.

The biggest catalog, or a platform you can host

Both run phishing simulations, assign training, score risk and put a report button in Outlook. Both now run voice exercises too.

If you want the widest catalog and a cloud only service is fine, KnowBe4 is hard to beat. The case for Cyberdise starts when the platform has to run on your own infrastructure or under a Swiss or European data policy.

  • We are particularly impressed that the training and simulations can also cover scenarios relevant to Switzerland and do not rely exclusively on international standard templates. This makes the content significantly more relevant and practical for our target audiences.

Users sync from Active Directory or Entra ID, and courses you built yourself come along as SCORM. The Report-a-Phish Button takes the place of the Phish Alert Button in Outlook on Microsoft 365 or Exchange on-premises, and in Gmail.

The work PhishER did moves into the Incident Inbox, next to your simulations. Want to try it first? The Community edition is free and self-hosted for up to 75 users.
