Pros
Hoxhunt
  • 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.

  • Set up an easy-to-use low overhead system of training and protection.
  • Works through a single pane of glass when using other Sophos products.

Cons
Hoxhunt
  • 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

  • It should be easier to follow up with a user when they haven't completed training.
  • More options for reporting would be nice.
  • Better choice of users as all emails have been imported (aliases, dist. list. etc) taking up licenses.

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.
