Chose Infosec IQ
When evaluating potential solutions for their effectiveness and return on investment (ROI), several factors stood out in our decision to choose Infosec IQ: Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration, excellent Support and Customer Service: and scalability/flexibility:
Chose Infosec IQ
Running very close, but simplicity and ease of use along with pricing won over the competition.
Chose Infosec IQ
InfoSecIQ was selected and deployed by my colleagues before joining the team so I am not confident in answering this question. However, based on my experience while dealing with Infosec IQ, It provides good training materials with animation and good phishing campaigns. …
Chose Infosec IQ
Infosec IQ has better, more realistic simulated phishing emails. The training modules are similar, no clear winner there. I like the post-click landing pages from KnowBe4 better.
Chose Infosec IQ
KnowBe4 required us to dismantle our security (SPF and DKIM) before we could use it.
Chose Infosec IQ
Infosec IQ was just better and easier to use. KnowBe4 was our go-to for a long time, but it just doesn't compare. Sophos is good but doesn't provide the same level of complexity or the number of services.
Chose Infosec IQ
I have used KnowBe4 in the past, and while I did not see a clear cut example of PhishER having a comparison, the ability to schedule tests was fantastic. It was far easier to schedule the number of emails a user was to receive and the time frame of the test. KnowBe4 does not …
Chose Infosec IQ
It is ok but can't be used as a general platform - it is actually better in that it is more specific.

Chose KnowBe4 PhishER
I have previously used Infosec IQ and Mimecast for similar purposes. Infosec IQ allowed my users to report messages, but the interface was clumsy and there weren't any features to allow me to quarantine or block message from within that dashboard. Mimecast was similar, but the …

I have been able to create customized simulated phishing campaigns that are really testing our users ability to "spot the fake." That coupled with the training campaigns that are included make it much more likely that our users will be better prepared to protect our organization by being able to recognize common industry threats, and brings awareness to less common threats that are out there. I love that they have a shared folder full of relevant, recent real-world scams that we can choose from to train our user base.

Pros
Infosec
  • The content for AwareEd training is robust and extensive. Many cybersecurity topics available for training material. As well as the ability to print promotional training sheets that can be displayed in break rooms, training rooms, hallways, etc.
  • The built-in phishing simulation templates are great! Recently, Infosec IQ added a new category called "Catch of the Week" that has very realistic phishing simulations that are much more effective and great examples of the types of phishing scams being used today.
  • Reporting works very well and provides information that can be shared with department managers so they can have visibility on how well their team members are meeting the cybersecurity training requirements.

Cons
Infosec
  • Phishing simulation sending configurations can be complex and cumbersome.
  • Reports and report options could be better. More canned reports and better data sorting & filtering.
  • Some training modules can be difficult to complete on iPads, Android, or other tablets with no mouse.

  • Enhancing the automated response capabilities, such as directly initiating remediation processes or integrating with other cybersecurity tools, could further streamline the threat management process.
  • Implementing a feedback system where users can be informed about the outcome of their reported emails might encourage more proactive engagement.
  • the reporting tool is not as streamlined on mobile devices as it is on desktops. Enhancing mobile functionality would be beneficial

So far this platform has worked really well for our company. Feedback has been great from our users because training is interesting, interactive and always being updated. Phishing simulations have been extremely helpful for us to stay compliant with ISO requirements and provide insight into areas we need to improve upon to educate our users better and make them more aware of vulnerabilities and threats

Phish ER has reduced the time my team and I spend on reported emails by over 80%. With the volume of emails reported and a small team this is a must have.

Usability
Infosec
It works very good for our company because it is easy to maintain and easy to keep track of people who followed the trainings. We can add and remove people very easily and can keep track of the trainings. Because of this, we are able to chase users that did not follow their training yet and can make sure the company is aware of security risks.

We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

Infosec [IQ] is lightyears ahead of cofense. They did not even have training videos on their platform. The cost for cofense also went up by nearly triple for education. Creating phishing emails was a chore and some things were not possible. Infosec [IQ] has much better templates and creating emails from scratch is a ton easier.

KnowBe4 PhishER has a lot of features that other companied does not have. Its AI capability, integration with VirusTotal, PhishRIP and PhishFlip features make it totally different from other solutions. Its Phish Alert Button directly installed on users Outlook without affecting them and the reporting technique is very simple, just clicking on the Phish Alert Button and the email will be directly reported to the KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard. KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard is a very good example of centralized dashboard where you can find all things related to that reported email.

Contract Terms and Pricing Model
Infosec
Pricing per user is reasonable for an annual contract. Not a bad investment considering that phishing emails and other threats are popping up daily in our users email accounts. Imagine if they did not know how to identify threats and how to be more careful in clicking links, it would have a been a far more expensive endeavor to recover from a network attack.

Return on Investment
Infosec
  • When we were threatened with a major price hike, we were able to transition to Infosec IQ at our current cost despite being a new account and the delta cost difference being high.
  • Allowing our larger clients to access and administrate themselves cuts down on requests.
  • The Outlook plug-in minimizes tickets asking our technicians 'is this spam?'

  • It has greatly increased phishing / security awareness by our staff by having a designated button & process for reporting phishing emails
  • It provides greater protection through the ability to delete emails from multiple recipients even if not all of them reported the email
  • It saves time for me to have to evaluate whether or not an email reported is a real threat through the ML/AI/VirusTotal scores
