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.

Automated database releases have reduced errors and now save a full day of deployment effort
The best features that Redgate Flyway offers, if I had to pick a few that really stand out, would be multi-environment support. On the migrations tab, I do not need to go to an environment and change settings or anything. I simply change the branches of the environment and it shows me what is available and what has been run on a certain environment. The environment feature is very user-friendly and helpful, so I would keep it at the top of my list. The feature of changing branches on the migrations tab is very helpful. An example of how Redgate Flyway specifically helped with discrepancies is that previously we did not have any tool recording database changes. We work on an Agile Scrum pattern, so we have to do deployments frequently, within every two to three weeks or sometimes four weeks. Previously, we had code repositories for front-end and back-end, but for the database side, we did not have any repository. We were not saving database-related changes in any GitHub or AWS CodeCommit repositories. Every time, we have a Jira board where developers update their scripts. For example, if I work on a ticket and update a stored procedure, I must mention the stored procedure on the ticket. When deployment time arrives, the release manager must pull out or scan all the tickets and extract the objects. For example, if we deploy 10 Jira tickets from a sprint in the next release, we must go through all 10 tickets and see the post-deployments of their tickets. Then we extracted the objects from the development environment, deployed on stage, and then deployed on production. In this scenario, many objects and discrepancies occurred. Sometimes a developer or the release manager would forget the object to take to production. Now, after using Redgate Flyway, I have restricted access as the release manager of my team. I manage the release for my team and have restricted developer access to environments other than the development environment. If developers want to take anything to the next environment such as demo, staging, or production, they must make a script. When they create a script, it is in our record. Now, after using Redgate Flyway, we do not need to scan all the tickets on Jira or see the post-deployments of each ticket. We simply view the Redgate Flyway script showing what has been run from this to this version, and what pending deployments need to be run on production. In this way, it has helped tremendously. I can share that the migrations tab and branch changing helped my team in a specific situation during our second last sprint. Two developers were working on the same object, and one change needed to be deployed on stage while another change needed to be deployed on the demo environment, which is our QA level. Our QA and demo are the same environment, and then we have stage and production. We have three environments other than development. Previously, without Redgate Flyway, what could have happened is that we would take the stored procedure from demo if we needed to deploy it on stage and take it directly to stage. This was our previous practice where we would go to the database explorer, take the stored procedure, and move it to the next environment with the ticket. Now with Redgate Flyway, we have different versions of that stored procedure. We simply took the version of the stored procedure that needed to be on stage, and the second version that needed to be on the QA level remained there. Redgate Flyway helped in this case, and we have many cases.

"Gophish has positively impacted my organization by making it very easy to set up and start phishing campaigns."
"Gophish, despite being a free tool, fits very well because it has all the features we need, from creating landing pages and creating the email to tracking the click traffic and the ingestion of information."
"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."
"I think Gophish is a fantastic tool that, at least for my use case, worked perfectly."
"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."
"Gophish is one of the easiest tools that I can see available online, and a significant advantage is that it is free of cost and open source."
"Redgate Flyway has positively impacted my organization by enabling automated database migrations, so there are no manual updates to databases on each deployment to each environment."
"I have seen a return on investment with Redgate Flyway in that time was saved significantly for local development."
"Redgate Flyway has positively impacted my organization by maintaining consistency among developers."
"Redgate Flyway has impacted us very positively because we don't have to manually cover all those things."
"Now using Redgate Flyway, we do not need to do any of this procedure, so this whole process has been eliminated, almost a day is saved, and on release day there are 99% chances that the scripts will run successfully without issues."
"Redgate Flyway streamlines the process of database migration and significantly reduces the time for data migration from twenty to twenty-five days down to five to seven days, thanks to the initial time we took for learning."
 

Cons

"I believe that Gophish can be improved by increasing the number of possible integrations."
"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."
"Regarding how Gophish can be improved, the latest update is from 2022."
"I think Gophish could be improved because it is effective for its purpose, but there are certain features that can be enhanced."
"Gophish can be improved in that it is an open-source solution and there is a bottleneck issue related to sending emails."
"Currently, we do not think Gophish requires much improvement other than a better graphical user interface."
"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."
"Particularly, the error handling mechanism or the force update or forced migration are things I would like to see improved; it is very hard to understand or debug exactly where this migration has failed, and I would not feel confident doing this in a production environment."
"Sometimes, errors with migrations can be very disappointing, as often it requires deleting everything and starting over."
"I would not recommend Redgate Flyway for any Microsoft-based solutions or .NET, as it is not compatible at all based on my experience."
"Redgate Flyway works well for small teams but presents conflict issues with larger teams due to version control."
"I cannot say that it is highly secure, but the features are good."
"Regarding the error mechanism, when we see a Redgate Flyway error in my Spring Boot application, it is very difficult to understand what went wrong."
