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.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.

"Using Gophish has helped me reduce my efforts and make more requests, allowing me to conduct many more phishing attacks in a shorter period."
"Gophish has really improved security awareness in my organization."
"My advice to other professionals who are considering using Gophish is that it is a platform for people who are just starting out and do not have the resources and also do not have knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"Despite its cost, I see value for money and a return on investment with Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]."
"Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways, providing proactive alerts and predictive analysis that save costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data while also delivering audit-related security features and AI-driven predictions that aid multiple areas of operations."
 

Cons

"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."
"The customer support needs improvement."
"Gophish can be improved in that it is an open-source solution and there is a bottleneck issue related to sending emails."
"I would rate it a seven. It is quite good and free software, but it needs more substance."
"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 because it is effective for its purpose, but there are certain features that can be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], the latest version 10.5 introduces a UI that feels somewhat difficult to navigate compared to earlier versions, making it uncomfortable."
"I did not receive an answer to my question regarding how these integrations with third-party tools help you."
