Fensivo vs. KnowBe4

    The alternative to KnowBe4 for security teams in LATAM

    Credential monitoring, adaptive phishing simulations and training at the exact moment, validated with a behavior retest, in a single automated platform, with native Spanish support.

    Live in 1 dayRetest-validated12-month contract, not 3 years

    Fensivo and KnowBe4 tackle the same problem —human risk in cybersecurity— with different architectures. KnowBe4 measures progress with course completion and simulated click rates; neither proves the behavior actually changed. Fensivo validates change with a retest weeks after the mistake, and integrates leaked-credential monitoring, adaptive simulations and microtraining into a single risk score per person. Public pricing from USD 6.50 per employee per month, with native Spanish support for LATAM.

    Side-by-side comparison

    Fensivo vs. KnowBe4

    KnowBe4 popularized security awareness training. Fensivo goes further: it monitors, tests and trains in a single automated cycle, built for security teams in LATAM.

    The retest, not course completion

    Finishing a module or clicking (or not) on a simulation doesn't prove risky behavior went down. Fensivo retests each person weeks after the mistake: the retest is the signal that confirms whether behavior actually changed, not a proxy for intent to learn.

    Twelve months of contract, not three years

    The standard plan of traditional suites ties you to a 3-year minimum contract: it is the only price they publish, and a 1-year term does not even appear on their list. Fensivo runs on a 12-month contract, public pricing, all-inclusive: you stay because the retest proves results, not because the contract holds you.

    Automated, not managed

    With traditional suites, someone on your team builds campaigns, picks templates, assigns training and chases repeat offenders. In Fensivo the cycle runs itself: the simulation, the microlearning and the retest happen without anyone administering them, and your team only reviews results.

    Why teams choose Fensivo

    One platform, not three

    Dark web monitoring, adaptive simulations and training live inside a single risk score. With training-only platforms you usually bolt on separate tools that don't talk to each other.

    Built for LATAM

    Native support and implementation in Spanish, with pricing and threat context for the region. It's not a translation: it's a platform built for your teams. Global simulation libraries are mostly in English; Fensivo's nearly 200 Spanish templates are written from the ground up for the region.

    Trains at the moment of the mistake

    3-5 minute microlearning right when the employee fails a simulation, followed by a retest weeks later that confirms whether behavior actually changed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the main difference between Fensivo and KnowBe4?

    KnowBe4 is a global awareness suite that measures training completion and click rates, with remediation based on more courses. Fensivo is a human risk management platform for LATAM that validates behavior change: after each failure it sends an automatic retest with a different template of the same category three weeks later.

    Is Fensivo more expensive than KnowBe4?

    The real difference is not the number, it is the commitment. KnowBe4's bundle equivalent to Fensivo's cycle (SAT Advanced plus SecurityCoach plus Compliance Plus) has no public price for companies under 101 employees, and all of its list prices are tied to a 3-year minimum contract: a 1-year term is not even published. From 101 employees that bundle costs approximately USD 5.09 to 5.32 per user per month on 3-year terms, and even then it does not include continuous per-employee credential monitoring or automatic targeted retesting. Fensivo publishes its full price from 25 employees, from USD 6.50 per employee per month with the complete cycle included, on a 12-month contract: you are comparing one year of commitment against three.

    Can I migrate from KnowBe4 to Fensivo?

    Yes. Fensivo deploys via OAuth with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with no agents or complex syncs, and credential monitoring delivers value from day one. When your KnowBe4 term ends you can start with Fensivo without a long transition period; the minimum is 25 employees, the same as KnowBe4's starting band.

    When KnowBe4 may be the better fit

    KnowBe4 is the global reference in this category for real reasons. If your company is a multinational enterprise that needs compliance training in dozens of languages, a library of more than 1,000 content pieces, additional simulation vectors and a mature integration ecosystem (SCIM with multiple identity providers, APIs, third-party LMS and coaching connected to the security stack), KnowBe4 has a catalog depth and operating scale that Fensivo does not intend to match. For that profile, with a dedicated team to run the platform and budget for a modular suite, it is a solid choice.
