What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Companies wanting a large library one admin can run
It earns its place because one admin can run simulations, training and measurement from one large library. It fits companies of any size, and global ones most, since content comes in many languages. Because the platform also sells email security and phishing response, decide whether you want one vendor for both or only for training.
