Arsen Phishing Simulation is a commercial phishing simulation tool by Arsen. 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.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Security teams at mid-market and enterprise companies who need unlimited phishing variations without burning out their security staff should run Arsen Phishing Simulation. The platform's AI generates unique scenarios across email, SMS, voice, and BEC simultaneously, which means you're testing employee behavior against realistic threats instead of recycled templates. The adaptive difficulty engine adjusts based on individual performance, so struggling employees get harder campaigns while your security-aware staff don't waste time on trivial tests. One honest limitation: Arsen maps directly to NIST PR.AT awareness training but doesn't offer the post-breach investigation or forensics layers that larger enterprises sometimes expect in a full security awareness platform.
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.
