| Format | An online module to complete, often once a year, hosted on the LMS. | Simulated phishing emails sent to inboxes, with a training page for those who click. | A workshop, a talk or an escape game, in person or remote. | A collection of small tools: competitions, mini-games, messaging bot, learning path, encyclopedia, arcade kiosks. |
| What the employee experiences | They go through the module to the end and pass a quiz. | They receive a simulated phishing email and practice spotting and reporting it; if they click, they see a short reminder right away. | They take part in a group session led by a speaker. | They play for one minute or five, compare themselves with colleagues on a leaderboard and come back. |
| Getting started | LMS integration, enrollments, completion reminders. | Mail system setup, distribution lists, scenarios. | A quote, a date, a room or a video call, a speaker. | A free self-service account, a link or a QR code to share. Zero install. |
| Rhythm | One campaign a year, sometimes quarterly. | Waves of emails through the year. | One or two highlights a year. | Highlights (cybersecurity awareness month, AI Spring, trade show) and a year-round thread, in small doses. |
| What you measure | Completion rate and quiz scores. | Click rate and reporting rate. | Attendance and on-the-spot satisfaction. | Participation, progress and completion, with exports provided by default. |
| Topics | The chosen catalog program, mostly cyber. | Phishing and its variants. | The topic of the session. | Cyber and AI, enabled separately. |
| Employee data | A named account per learner. | Email addresses and each campaign’s results (clicks, reports), by name or aggregated depending on settings. | An attendance sheet. | In competitions and on kiosks, no player account: a nickname and a score. |
| Pricing model | Most often a license per user per year. | Most often a license per user per year as well. | A quote per session. | Public prices: free to test, credit packs paid per participation, unlimited annual plan on quote. |
| On site | Rarely: the module is taken online, on a computer or phone. | Not usually: it happens in the inbox, sometimes via text message or QR code. | Yes, that is its home ground. | Yes: a real arcade kiosk in the lobby, on top of online play. |
