    It is easy to use and setup. You can schedule the Phish email test to be
    sent out in the future or right away. You can also send to all users in
    your list as well as stagger so all users do not get the email at the
    same time and tell each other there is a test going on

    Support is solid but not spectacular. While I haven't used support for Phish Threat specifically, this is a general rating for Sophos' support across the board. It could be easier to find the FAQ or other information I need, but when I've needed to reach out to support they've been good to work with.
