Visual planning has transformed how our teams document aws architecture and estimate costs
The best features Cloudcraft offers include visual AWS architecture, the ability to create professional AWS diagrams quickly, significant time savings during solution design, cost estimation, and having estimated infrastructure costs directly within the architecture diagram. Cloudcraft also makes collaboration easier as architecture diagrams can be shared across infrastructure teams. AWS best practice visualization is there, encouraging better architecture design by making it easy to visualize high availability, multi-AZ deployment, public versus private subnets, and security layers. Creating architecture documentation that previously required several hours can now be completed much more quickly. Architecture design and documentation have had the biggest impact on my team. These are part of our day-to-day work that were time-consuming previously, and now they are easy to accomplish.

Phishing awareness campaigns have improved training impact but still need smarter automation
I think Gophish could be improved with more automation, for instance. It is great that you can create templates, schedule them, and do everything you want in Gophish, but it would be nice to have a small integrated AI model with which you could create email templates and phishing templates. It would be nice if Gophish implemented artificial intelligence. I wish Gophish could provide more support and be more advanced and that they continue developing it because it seems that Gophish does not get many updates, and I think they need to implement more features. It is great because it is free, but it needs more features. It would be cool if there was an artificial intelligence model that could create phishing campaigns or templates or email templates for you integrated within Gophish. I would rate it a seven. It is quite good and free software, but it needs more substance. It also depends on the number of clients a company has; it may be necessary to launch Gophish in a staggered way, which I also think is a drawback Gophish has. The issue is that if there are many people being targeted, for example, 5,000 employees in a company and you send 5,000, it may be that sending so many messages gets blocked by the security systems companies have. I think that Gophish could also improve the message sending flows. I gave it a seven because there are things to improve and it is not perfect. As I said before, it would be nice if templates could be created with AI, integrated into Gophish using an API with Gemini or ChatGPT or whichever, but the point is that it would be nice if the sending flows at large scale were better managed. When you send a phishing campaign to 5,000 people, you have to send it in sections in a staggered way, for example: to these 5,000 people it is going to be sent between eight in the morning and four in the afternoon. If you send them all at once, the phishing may get blocked and then the campaign has no effect. I would like it if Gophish implemented more improvements because they are needed, as it is kind of a bit stagnant. I hope that in the future they add more improvements including creating personalized templates with artificial intelligence and improving the message sending flows.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Cloudcraft is an amazing tool for this use case."
"Cloudcraft has positively impacted our organization as infrastructure documentation is more consistent and easier to maintain."
"Regarding my use of Gophish in this academic context, I found it extremely easy to use; you do not need to be a technical person with special skills to be able to handle it."
"Gophish is a good structure and a good technological innovation that deserves to be studied and much better known by the world because not everyone knows Gophish."
"Gophish has had a positive impact on my organization because it is open source, so it is free."
"The impact it has had is that we have been able to sell it to clients who, for example, do not have the money to pay for a platform because they are small startups, and so with Gophish we create a solution that is cheaper for them."
"Gophish has positively impacted my organization by helping my team reach our goals."
"I think Gophish is a fantastic tool that, at least for my use case, worked perfectly."
"The best features Gophish offers are that it is free and it can detect if the user reads the email, clicks the email, and submits the info in your attachment."

Cons

"I think Cloudcraft can be improved by possibly being a little less expensive."
"There are areas for improvement in Cloudcraft, such as more cloud service coverage and quicker support for new AWS services releases."
"Gophish can be improved by adding more languages and maybe a web version for it, a SaaS platform."
"The customer support needs improvement."
"I do not really have any improvements in mind at the moment, but offering ready-made templates that we could use or examples of emails that we could directly use would be beneficial."
"It does not handle lists well either, so when you have a big list of email addresses or users, it crashes, perhaps in the sending of the emails or somewhere else, but it crashes."
"Regarding how Gophish can be improved, the latest update is from 2022."
"When I send to more than 300 recipients, I am forced to split it into several sends because the tool doesn't behave effectively and freezes."
"The one improvement I would like to see in Gophish is the booting up of the images, as it sometimes takes a lot of time and could be improved."
"Gophish is stable, but I find KnowBe4 to be better."
