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.

Mindful routines have boosted focus, improved work‑life balance, and made goals measurable
Mindful can be improved by making it more compatible and more organization specific rather than having a generic interface. If the app can be customized to each particular team and to the requirements of each domain, things would be slightly better. There could also be certain value-add lectures and various topics such as speeches that have technical relevance integrated into the app so that people can hear it in a more soothing voice. This would be beneficial to them in their technical expertise and also help them update themselves. Mindful should also include things such as rewards for using the app for a longer duration. It could also have a more far-reaching application that a lot of other organizations use as well, and build culture around things such as meditation and thoughtfulness so they can promote sustainability and increase employee engagement by organizing meetups of people from different organizations that use Mindful. This would help build a community that encourages mental health, meditation, and spirituality and other aspects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Overall, Gophish is dependable for phishing simulations and awareness assessments."
"Gophish has positively impacted my organization by helping my team reach our goals."
"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."
"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 has really improved security awareness in my organization."
"I think Gophish is a fantastic tool that, at least for my use case, worked perfectly."
"Gophish has positively impacted my organization by increasing awareness among my employees."
"Mindful has positively impacted my organization by providing better focus, a productivity increase, and improvements in emotional intelligence and emotional balance."

Cons

"Gophish is stable, but I find KnowBe4 to be better."
"I believe that Gophish can be improved by increasing the number of possible integrations."
"I think Gophish could be improved because it is effective for its purpose, but there are certain features that can be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"While I mentioned that one of the best features of Gophish is its reporting and analytics capabilities, I believe it requires more focus to become even better."
"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."
"Although the tool is very good, I think there could be some improvements, especially when it comes to leveraging AI for testing and also when it comes to the expansion beyond email phishing."
"One area for improvement would be more advanced reporting and dashboard customization because the current reporting capabilities are helpful, but having deeper analytics and more flexible visualization options for different stakeholders would make release tracking even more effective."
