# Arsen vs KnowBe4

Source: https://arsen.co/en/comparisons/arsen-vs-knowbe4
Summary: Compare Arsen and KnowBe4 on phishing, vishing and deepfake simulation, training libraries, and reporting. See which fits your human risk program.

Choose Arsen if you want specialist depth in social engineering simulation, European data handling, and a platform your team can run without a dedicated program manager.

## Human risk management feature matrix

Every row is an Arsen human risk management capability. KnowBe4 is checked only when that capability is explicitly visible on KnowBe4's public product pages.

### ⚡ Attack simulations

| Feature | Arsen | KnowBe4 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Phishing simulation | Yes | Yes | Both platforms support phishing simulation at scale. KnowBe4 ships one of the largest template libraries on the market. |
| AI voice phishing / vishing simulation | Yes | Partial | Both offer voice-based simulation. Arsen uses real-time voice AI and voice cloning; KnowBe4 delivers callback phishing tied to its email templates. |
| Conversational phishing simulation | Yes | Partial | Arsen supports multi-turn conversational scenarios that mirror real attacker exchanges. KnowBe4 does not document an equivalent as a standalone simulation type. |
| Deepfake simulation | Yes | Yes | Both offer deepfake scenarios. KnowBe4 delivers this through its AIDA agent suite. |
| ClickFix phishing simulation | Yes | No | Arsen supports ClickFix-style simulations to test users against fake-fix and prompt-driven tactics. |
| QR-code attack simulation | Yes | Yes | Both generate QR-code payloads that mimic real-world quishing attacks. |
| Multichannel social engineering coverage | Yes | Yes | Both coordinate campaigns across several channels. Arsen focuses on coordinated email and voice sequences. |

### 🧠 Training and remediation

| Feature | Arsen | KnowBe4 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Micro-learning training | Yes | Yes | Both provide short-form micro-learning modules. |
| AI lesson creation | Yes | Yes | Both support AI-assisted content creation for awareness programs. |
| Static content delivery | Yes | Yes | Both deliver static assets. KnowBe4's library includes videos, posters, newsletters, and SCORM upload. |
| Behavior-focused human risk program | Yes | Yes | Both track behavior over time. KnowBe4 uses its Risk Score model; Arsen weights simulation difficulty and multichannel performance. |
| Triggered lesson | Yes | Yes | Both trigger remediation based on simulation outcomes. |
| Adaptative training | Yes | Yes | Both adapt content to individual performance. |
| Employee-facing dashboard | Yes | Yes | Both give employees visibility into their own progress. |
| Compliance training library | Partial | Yes | KnowBe4 ships a dedicated compliance training catalogue. Arsen focuses on social engineering behavior rather than broad compliance curricula. |

### 📊 Reporting and operations

| Feature | Arsen | KnowBe4 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Real-time campaign reporting | Yes | Yes | Both offer live dashboards during active campaigns. |
| Employee risk / security score | Yes | Yes | Both assign individual risk scores with organizational rollups. |
| Employee credential exposure monitoring | Yes | Yes | Both surface exposed employee credentials. |
| Typosquat and look-alike domain monitoring | Yes | Yes | Both offer look-alike domain visibility. |
| Google / Microsoft / Okta sync | Yes | Yes | Both integrate with major identity providers for user provisioning. |
| API-driven phishing workflows | Yes | Yes | Both expose APIs. Arsen's API is built to trigger simulations directly from your security stack. |
| Multi-tenant and white-label management | Yes | Partial | Arsen supports multi-tenant access and white-label deployment for MSPs and security vendors from a single console. |
| EU data residency by default | Yes | Partial | Arsen is a French company operating under EU data handling. KnowBe4 offers regional consoles, so confirm residency terms for your contract. |

## Why teams switch

### A bigger catalogue is not the same as a better program.

Large libraries help you send more simulations. They do not automatically make those simulations feel real. Arsen invests in the attack side: managed sending infrastructure, custom domains, live voice AI, and scenarios that hold up against employees who have already seen a hundred training emails.

**KnowBe4** — A mature, wide-ranging security suite spanning awareness training, compliance curricula, email security, and incident response. Best suited to large organizations consolidating several security functions with one vendor.

**Arsen** — A specialist in social engineering realism, with multichannel simulation, managed phishing infrastructure, European data handling, and multi-tenant management for partners and MSPs.

## Migration support

### Switching from KnowBe4? We make it easy.

Arsen's team handles migration, user import, and reporting continuity so your program never misses a beat. Most teams are live within a week.

- Awareness program continuity
- Integration setup
- User and group migration

Typical go-live in under a week

## Common questions about Arsen vs KnowBe4

### I'm ready to see Arsen in action. Can I get a demo?

Yes. Book a personalized demo and we will walk you through phishing, deepfake, vishing, QR-code, and impersonation simulations using scenarios relevant to your industry, then show you where Arsen and KnowBe4 genuinely differ.

### Can I speak to someone on the team?

Absolutely. If you have questions about fit, migration, integrations, or rollout, use the demo form and our team will get back to you quickly. We can keep the conversation focused on your current program, your constraints, and whether Arsen is the right next step.

### How do I know whether Arsen or KnowBe4 is the better fit for my team?

It usually comes down to breadth against depth. If you need one vendor covering awareness, compliance training, email security, and incident response, KnowBe4 is built for that consolidation. If your priority is simulation realism, multichannel coverage, European data handling, or multi-tenant management for clients, Arsen is usually the better fit.

### We're using KnowBe4 today. Can we migrate without starting from scratch?

Yes. You do not need to rebuild your program from zero. Arsen can help you move user and group structure, maintain awareness-program continuity, configure integrations, and preserve reporting workflows so the switch feels operational rather than disruptive.

### I still have questions. What's the best next step?

Book a demo and tell us what you are evaluating. We can help you think through feature fit, migration effort, multichannel coverage, and how Arsen would map to your current KnowBe4 program. If you are earlier in the process, this comparison page should help you narrow the shortlist first.
