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. A single automated platform, with native Spanish support.
Live in 1 dayRetest-validated12-month contract, not 3 years
Retest at three weeks, with a published pass criterion

12-month contract and public pricing from USD 4.90
LATAM Spanish by origin, from 25 employees
In short
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. It integrates leaked-credential monitoring, adaptive simulations and microtraining into a single risk score per person. Public pricing from USD 4.90 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.
Dimension
Recommended
KnowBe4
Behavior change validation
Automatic retest: same category, different template, three weeks after the failure
Completion metrics and Phish-prone Percentage; documented remediation is more training
Targeted retest after the failure
Included and automatic in the core
Not published as an automatic feature; can be assembled manually with Smart Groups
Retest pass criterion
Published: three-week window, same category and sophistication, a different template, and a risk floor that requires consecutive clean simulations
Not published: their retest is assembled manually with Smart Groups, so the criterion is set by each customer and not by the product
Dark web credential monitoring
Continuous 24/7 per employee, included in the core
Monthly domain check (EEC Pro) and PasswordIQ on Active Directory; no published continuous per-employee monitoring

The differences, one by one
01
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.
02
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; a 1-year term does not even appear on their list. Fensivo runs on a 12-month contract, public pricing from USD 4.90 per employee per month, all-inclusive. You stay because the retest proves results, not because the contract holds you.
03
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. If someone does not complete their microlearning, Fensivo keeps nudging with reminders and, by default after the third one, notifies their direct manager to unblock it. Each client adjusts that threshold.

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.
How does Fensivo's price compare to KnowBe4's?
Fensivo publishes its full price from 25 employees. It costs from USD 4.90 per employee per month with the complete cycle included, on a 12-month contract. KnowBe4's bundle equivalent to Fensivo's cycle (SAT Advanced plus SecurityCoach plus Compliance Plus) has no public price for companies under 101 employees. 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, always on 3-year terms. Even then it does not include continuous per-employee credential monitoring or automatic targeted retesting. The comparison has two variables: the rate and the term, 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. 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, it may need compliance training in dozens of languages and a library of more than 1,000 content pieces. It may also require additional simulation vectors and a mature integration ecosystem, from SCIM with multiple identity providers and APIs to third-party LMS and coaching connected to the security stack. On that ground, 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.
