For regular user level training this is very effective, but for more "high roller" type users this can be a bit of a generic approach that doesn't go down as well or is engaging.

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

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.
