User Testimonials
	Sophos Phish Threat	ThreatAdvice Educate
Likelihood to Recommend	Sophos If you're looking for a tool to maximize digital productivity without hindering the effectiveness of your workforce, Sophos is a great tool. It quickly & safely manages the threat level across all of our digital channels to reduce the potential engagement with fishy characters or websites that might present vulnerabilities. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NXTsoft The information is timely and allows us to keep our employees apprised of the risks that are out there - before they become an issue for us. The system has allowed us to stay in front of current threats and provide testing of our users to determine that they are indeed not falling for phishing attempts. Incentivized MM Matt Meynardie CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) Read full review
Pros	Sophos 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. Incentivized Beau Sorensen COO Read full review	NXTsoft Easy to understand presentation Brief enough to not be too time consuming thorough coverage of topics Incentivized MM Matt Meynardie CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) Read full review
Cons	Sophos 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. Incentivized Christopher Fritz Senior IT Supporter Read full review	NXTsoft none none none Incentivized MM Matt Meynardie CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) Read full review
Usability	Sophos 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 Incentivized Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator Read full review	NXTsoft No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Sophos 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. Incentivized Beau Sorensen COO Read full review	NXTsoft No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Sophos Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NXTsoft The two programs are comparable - we chose ThreatAdvice Educate because of their superior support staff - as well as tie ins to other services that they offer that compliment this. The system keeps our users current and support is easily available for any issues that arise. We have been happy with that choice. Incentivized MM Matt Meynardie CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) Read full review
Return on Investment	Sophos ROI seems to be there though I have no direct stats. Positively impacts my web-browsing experience. As an Account Executive, it enables me to do my company research quickly without engaging with any bad actors. It runs in the background so it never impedes my workflows.
