Presents real-world phishing scenarios that have helped increase our overall resilience to cyber attacks
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. On the one hand, it would probably take a little bit more of our time. But on the other hand, if it were very targeted and controlled by a technical account manager, it could be very useful and take very little time. The kind of scenario I'm thinking about is where a CybeReady account manager would call and say, "Hey, I looked through your settings and, based on the numbers I'm seeing, maybe you guys can turn this on and turn this off, or adjust it this way or that way." I go in there and pull the information and I use its presentations, and that's useful. And they do periodically send out reports to summarize things. But in the world of automation, I still think you need a little bit of human touch. That's the part that's missing, just a little bit.

Customer support excels with timely responses and valuable assistance
Some of the best features with Sophos Phish Threat are good, but it has some limits. For instance, if you send an attachment to target the user with a macro, it doesn't work very well because by default Outlook disables opening macro files. Word macro files open in read-only mode. It has some false positives, such as when the user opened the file. We had good experience, and based on our three years of use, the users responded well. The videos are animated, and users prefer them, similar to our other applications for training in other areas. The integration with Sophos Central benefits us for the management of the phishing campaign by being very user-friendly. We used the customizable phishing emails with Sophos Phish Threat. We customized the template and modified it so we can phish our users. They are very customizable. The pricing and licensing for Sophos Phish Threat is good compared to other products.
