    PhishRod LLC
    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.

    • 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.

    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.
