Targeted phishing tests have revealed security gaps and guide staff awareness training
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

    I have been using Gophish for a year. My main use case for Gophish is awareness campaigns for staff. A specific example of how I use Gophish in a campaign for staff is that I create fake internal-use pages and send them to collaborators' emails to see if they fall for the tests.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features that Gophish offers are that it has an easy-to-use platform and that it also has documentation to guide you through the implementation.

    The ease of use and the documentation have helped me in my daily work with Gophish because, having zero experience with this platform, by looking up the documentation and having an easy-to-use interface, it was much easier for me to learn and implement it in the organization.

    Gophish has positively impacted my organization by finding security gaps among our collaborators, and we found people who did not know or did not understand security. This platform helped us to be able to train collaborators about phishing after the tests.

    What needs improvement?

    I think that Gophish could be improved, but currently, all the functionalities it has and all the types of platforms that can be implemented are very interesting. For my part, I would not see any improvement. I would like to add nothing else about possible improvements, even if they are minor details or suggestions for the future.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working in my current field for two years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I consider the scalability of Gophish interesting; it is a platform on which you can increase the number of staff and the number of platforms to run tests on, as well as the number of independent tests I can perform.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not needed customer support for Gophish so far.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not use any other solution before implementing Gophish; it was the first time it was implemented, so this platform was used.

    How was the initial setup?

    Before choosing Gophish, I did not evaluate other options; it was an idea that came up after finding this platform.

    I have seen a return on investment with Gophish, as indicated by the savings in implementation time and the responses we had to measure the awareness of the collaborators.

    My experience with the price, implementation cost, and licensing of Gophish is that personally, I have used the open platform, so we have not had to pay anything yet.

    What other advice do I have?

    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. It is an excellent platform to start with and learn about the world of awareness campaigns for collaborators. It is an easy-to-use, stable platform; it can be set up on different platforms, whether Windows or Linux, and it is easy to use since it has an integrated interface that is very easy to use and it has no cost. Gophish would be an interesting platform to start testing awareness platforms for phishing campaigns. I would give this platform a rating of 10.

    Running awareness campaigns has improved phishing assessments and simplified reporting
    Pros and Cons
    • "Gophish has had a positive impact on my organization because it is open source, so it is free."
    • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Gophish to run fake awareness campaigns with our clients. Everything is framed and I use the product to send emails, get reporting, and then present the results afterward.

    The objective of the campaign I carried out with Gophish was to determine the level of maturity of employees and staff. So the goal is to send an email to everyone and see the percentage of people who fall into the trap.

    We analyze the results of these campaigns by going back with the same data but for different companies to see whether the alerts are being followed.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features that Gophish offers include importing an Excel CSV file to import all the users and creating a web page directly from the feature in the product.

    Importing users was made much easier for me with Gophish, and the same applies for web pages, as it was very convenient.

    Gophish has had a positive impact on my organization because it is open source, so it is free. The product is easy to get started with, and likewise the campaigns are very quick to prepare.

    The time savings I noticed thanks to Gophish are exceptional. You can create templates.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    I have covered everything regarding the necessary improvements or points that could make Gophish even more effective in my view.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    It has been six years since I began working in my current field.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would say Gophish is stable based on the only campaigns I have been able to run a few months ago.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    In my context, Gophish is scalable enough to handle an increasing number of users or campaigns because I have not had any slowdown when adding user groups.

    How are customer service and support?

    There is no support for Gophish because it is open source, so I have not needed to contact assistance or technical support for this tool.

    We have no contact with Gophish aside from being a customer.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I was not using another product before Gophish.

    How was the initial setup?

    I have noted time savings in the preparation of campaigns since I started using Gophish.

    What about the implementation team?

    What was our ROI?

    The time savings I noticed thanks to Gophish are exceptional.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I find Gophish advantageous since it is open source, so there is no price or installation costs.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I did not evaluate any competing solution because Gophish was the product that was already there when I arrived.

    What other advice do I have?
