Allows us to see the effects of what simulated phishing can do
It is not difficult to do the customization. While you can customize the email, we would like there to be just a bit more upfront conversation about the types of emails that month. Because if there is one thing I get asked about in the bank, it is about the types of emails. I don't know if that's particularly needed, but it's something that I get asked about. We have the generic reporting that comes out so we can download that at any time or at the end of the three month campaign. So, we have two generic reports. If we could section up the data in multiple, different ways, then we could create a report from that instead of just those two options. That would be helpful.

Customizable learning pathways and phishing simulations contribute to user training and security awareness
I like that it provides a customizable learning pathway, allowing me to both use preset tracks and customize them if I wish. The phishing simulations are valuable as they allow end users to understand their mistakes without real-world consequences. This solution helps train users on what to look for in security threats, contributing to the prevention of user errors that may lead to breaches.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, it broadens the way people engage with security across the board because they are used to being told off and that they are not doing the right sort of things. Whereas, CybeReady really helped move that conversation forward into a positive lens, allowing people to see how they can take part and their role within security. Also, that it's okay, because this is training, a learning point, how you can continue, how you can cope, and how you move forward. This really helps build people's confidence in recognizing phishing, understanding what it is, and how to cope with it, all of which are important."
"The product automatically adapts to users and how adept they are at spotting phishing emails. If somebody is doing very well and is not clicking on the phishing simulation emails, then it will send them emails that are harder to spot."
"CybeReady's 'phishing' emails manipulate you to open an email. If you do open the email, you are forwarded to a tip that explains how you should behave and how to recognize a phishing email. This is one of the main features of the training provided."
"All of CybeReady's features are valuable. They work together and complement each other. The campaigns, and the training behind the specific campaigns, are the starting point. But the Continuous Awareness Bites program is also very important. They share what the correct behavior should have been for our users who clicked on a link or downloaded an attachment during a phishing campaign."
"CybeReady has this uncanny ability to fit its simulations to reality. The simulations that CybeReady prepares are refreshed on a monthly basis... They could be news-related, for example, related to COVID, or elections. They might be related to the time of the year, such as taxes or bonus payments and the like... It's evolving to what it's seeing out there, but in a good way."
"I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"I like that it provides a customizable learning pathway, allowing me to both use preset tracks and customize them if I wish."
 

Cons

"The area where we could probably use more attention is the involvement of CybeReady with us. It would help if a technical account manager were more actively reaching out and making sure that we are using the tool to its full potential."
"We have the generic reporting that comes out so we can download that at any time or at the end of the three month campaign. So, we have two generic reports. If we could section up the data in multiple, different ways, then we could create a report from that instead of just those two options. That would be helpful."
"CybeReady is still getting used to working with really big companies, which is the category that we are in."
"One point that CybeReady could improve on is... the people assigned to each client to help the client correctly interpret the KPIs. In our case, we were not so happy with the person that was assigned to us. She didn't provide much more for us than we saw ourselves."
"One area that might be improved is making their emails more visually attractive to make them more convincing. It might depend on the email relay in the organization. Maybe it's cutting out some of the features that come with the email. I don't know if it's their problem or our problem, but sometimes the emails don't look convincing enough."
"It is somewhat confusing at first, especially for onboarding."
"It is somewhat confusing at first, especially for onboarding. The existing complexity is partly because the product wasn't built from the ground up by Huntress, which might contribute to certain elements lacking Huntress's typical simplicity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"You pay a yearly fee and they're a fairly good value."
