Containerization has accelerated testing cycles and consistently reduced time to market
Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is a very mature product, and I don't think there is a lot of improvement that they need to do on their end. The Docker team is coming up with new features, and integration with the IDE, for example, would be amazing. Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine. I chose nine out of ten for Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because I think they could improve a little more on optimization. It sometimes demands a lot of RAM and computing power, so that is one area that the Docker team could improve upon.

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

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

Pros

"Fast deployment is the main benefit."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS positively impacts my organization because we have sped up our development very quickly, and our team has grown quickly, not only because of Docker but also due to Docker."
"Ease of use from the developer's point of view is the best feature."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS makes both managing and deploying that service easier for me."
"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."
"I really appreciate using Gophish because it is open-source and non-paid, which provides cost savings for the company and allows modifications so you can use it in your own way."
"Gophish has had a positive impact on my organization because it is open source, so it is free."
"With Gophish, I am able to work in a more appropriate way on phishing awareness, and I am also able to make employees aware in an easy and appropriate way because they see how a phishing attack works in a real way."
"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."
"Using Gophish has helped me reduce my efforts and make more requests, allowing me to conduct many more phishing attacks in a shorter period."
"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 has had a positive impact on my organization, as I noticed that since I used Gophish for the benefit of several clients, the maturity level of my clients was increasing."
 

Cons

"I have not seen a return on investment that I can quantify, and I do not have specific metrics to share regarding fewer employees needed, money saved, or time saved."
"Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine."
"Maybe the daemons need to be improved, as they consume a lot of resources for building and running images."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is stable enough, but again, it is very old."
"For Gophish, there is a lack of integration with MFA and cookie captures that are more advanced attack methods."
"The feature of actually taking the website's source code might be something which is not so ethical, because you're copying from the main website even though you're learning."
"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."
"I think Gophish could be improved with a user-level function, meaning if the person is strong or weak, we send more or fewer awareness emails, and rely on real attacks in order to be able to create a template by itself."
"Currently, we do not think Gophish requires much improvement other than a better graphical user interface."
"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."
"I believe that Gophish can be improved by increasing the number of possible integrations."
"I believe Gophish can be improved by adding new features based on attack types in the future, particularly for new zero-day attacks, and incorporating AI-based tools to enhance analyzing and automation."
