Likelihood to Recommend Cofense PhishMe is an excellent solution for scenarios where it will be sold as a managed service. I believe that PhishMe is too expensive for many clients and instead would benefit from the economies of scale where an MSSP sells it as part of a whole service, which offers the analysts and reporting included. PhishMe is excellent for training and awareness of Phishing, but shouldn't replace mandatory training for new joiners or yearly refreshers, it should only be used as an additional training option.
Read full review Hoxhunt has the right strategy to make the users stop and think twice about what they are reading or clicking. Taking the user to the point of double-checking on every single unexpected message, and creating a safer scenario for any company.
Read full review Pros It gives clear-cut segregation of different parts of an email, header, text and HTML body, URL, attachments, HTML preview and some analytical insight like "similar reports." This distinctive approach actually helps reduce data overload during an analysis. The URLs captured here pass through an automatic reputation check [in our case VirusTotal] and add a tag of the reputation. If it is a well-known bad URL the tag helps us take the decision fast. For creating automation rules on the reported emails the "Recipes" section is really helpful. We can create easy recipes [or rules ] to handle a huge flow of reports and also we can create more sophisticated rules depending on the Cyber intelligence feed to catch the really bad currently less known attack attempts by malicious emails. The "Threat Indicators" section is also useful to use as a threat intelligence source to check the URLs for their maliciousness. Read full review Disguises emails like someone from within the organization. Does a good job of making an email seem urgent. Does a good job of appealing to the emotions, to attract someone to open an attachment. Seems to pick up on recent topics that you had emailed about, and tries to imitate something in that topic. Read full review Cons Completely switching to the new UI - Most is redesigned, but some old elements remain Ability to spoof known brands - limited in scope now and you are not allowed to use fully "convincing" campaigns that we are seeing in the wild Ability to own and manage own domains - right now adding a new company domain requires a ticket, allow us to add/verify ourselves Read full review The score could be more transparent, as there are people with more stars and I don't know why, as I correctly reported the phishing Have other ways to get stars other than just reporting email Have a user score comparison tool Read full review Usability Its built with UX in mind and is aimed at non-tech people, to ensure that almost everyone can run the campaign. But if we go deeper - sometimes you will need an HTML editor or support in order to figure out some advanced edits you might want to add in your scenarios.
Read full review Support Rating I have not had to use their support for pretty much anything. The software works well, and is very intuitive. I would imagine their support would be rather basic as there is not too much that can go wrong with a report phishing button, and if it were I would probably consider a different software.

Read full review Return on Investment Recipes in the system are capable of handling almost 2x what an analyst does, which cuts down the efforts [of] an analyst and provides more time for accurate strategies. With roughly 90% false positives coming through, the remaining 10% of true positives need as much attention as they can get for the full investigation and analysis. 1,500 or more phishing messages can come through in a given week and the amount of time/employees required to review this without a tool like Cofense is surely beyond [the] expected/anticipated budget.

It allows our IT security department to detect those users who need better cyber security training.
