    The tool is very helpful in improving Phishing detection capabilities as it streamlines the process of analyzing user reports a lot. Besides it has a built-in mechanism of rating reporters(end-users) based on their historical performance. Downside - tool requires continuous resource investment to deliver best result. Tool is not helping too much in improving user-education, because automated response process is not immediate and is prone to errors

    Cons
    Cofense
    • There are too many interdependent pieces which you have to acquire separately.
    • I think Cofense has a lot of capabilities and usefulness, but I think it's too a la carte.
    • We own Cofense and PhishMe currently and there are some gaping holes that require additional licensing to close.

    • The free version has some limitations that make an accurate evaluation difficult, every day at midnight the data is flushed and you start over.
    • If you are purchasing the appliance, you won't have admin access to it.
    • Reporting could use some polished graphics and advance filtering features.

    Support is support, they are either there or they are not. Scrutinizer support has been there every time I've needed them. They rely a bit too much on email correspondence, sometimes I want a voice to tell me what to do, and fast

    The other product had a lot of fails on the auto-processing and did not integrate well with our current environment. One issue had to do with the way it sends the submissions to its processing engine—our email gateway configuration would have blocked this traffic. I also did not like the user interface.

    Scrutinizer is a faster and simpler deployment while still delivering the tools and reports needed to gain accurate view traffic and network usage. Its cheaper than most alternatives and daily use is focused on understanding data, not making config changes so you can understand data. Risk reduction and elimination is the primary focus, Scrutinizer helps you do that.

    Return on Investment
    Cofense
    • Due to the integration potential, large amounts of time are saved on a daily basis.
    • Incident response time has dropped due to the increased information available by having access to phishing emails directly.
    • Staff are able to effectively learn how multiple tools in our environment are used by mastering Triage. This has decreased training time greatly and increased the effectiveness of each associate.
