Adaptive Security Phishing Simulations is a commercial phishing simulation tool by Adaptive Security. Awareways Simulate is a commercial phishing simulation tool by Awareways. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best phishing simulation fit for your security stack.
Based on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams need a phishing program that tests users across the channels attackers actually use, and Adaptive Security Phishing Simulations covers email, voice, SMS, and video in one platform without forcing separate vendor contracts. The AI-generated voice simulations with custom personas and OSINT-based email generation mean your red team spends less time building realistic scenarios and more time analyzing which users stay vulnerable. Skip this if your organization runs a lean security operation and only needs email phishing tests; the multichannel depth and automated training orchestration assume you have someone dedicated to running and iterating on the program.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams struggling to close the gap between awareness training and actual employee behavior will see measurable lift from Awareways Simulate's adaptive simulation engine, which adjusts attack complexity based on individual click patterns rather than running static campaigns. The platform covers the full attack surface,email, voice, SMS, and physical,in a single deployment, and its positive reinforcement model actually changes retention better than scare tactics alone. Skip this if your organization needs deep integration with your SIEM or forensics workflow; Awareways is purpose-built for behavioral change, not incident investigation.
