PhishRod vs. SANS Security Awareness Training

PhishRod has helped us create mock phishing attacks throughout our company to help teach our users what to look for in a phishing attack. The ability to create custom attacks has helped tremendously because we are able to use attacks related to what we encounter on a daily basis. Creating training phishing attack emails has helped improve our overall security.

SANS Security Awareness Training program would be well suited for a large organization that needs to develop multiple training programs with different courses based on the roles of the end users. It seemed a bit difficult at times to achieve simple setup processes because of the configurations tailored to larger, more complex organizations.

We tested both PhishRod and Phisher for our security needs. They are similar, but in the end we feel that PhishRod was better suited for our needs. Pricing was better and the ROI as well. We are looking for a long term solution and believe we have found it in PhishRod.

We actually are currently migrating to Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because of its integration with the Proofpoint email filter. This will allow us to target specific users who are clicking on bad emails with specific training material. We have used KnowBe4 in the past as well, but it was rather costly compared to SANS Security Awareness Training and Proofpoint. SANS Security Awareness Training seems to be the least easy-to-use interface from an administrative perspective compared to the other two.
