Cofense Vision has become an invaluable tool for several departments within our organization, enabling us to detect and respond quickly to potential phishing emails or suspicious messages. Since implementing this solution over a year ago, we have witnessed a dramatic reduction in phishing emails, thanks to its powerful threat detection capabilities. The AutoQuarantine feature of Cofense Vision automatically identifies and deletes malicious emails from users' inboxes, enhancing network security and preventing infections. Colleagues who recommended this tool to our IT department have seen firsthand how it effectively prevents and remedies external attacks, minimizing damage to our business. Additionally, the speed at which Cofense Vision takes action against suspicious emails is commendable, immediately mitigating the risk of undetected threats.

Installing Cofense Vision across our departments was a proactive measure to combat costly phishing attacks and increase confidence in storing important credentials. It helps us identify and prevent advanced threats from entering our organization, addressing the constant challenge of phishing attacks that can disrupt operations. By providing email security and tracking threats in real-time, Cofense Vision creates a secure and safe environment for our company. Moreover, its seamless integration with other solutions from the Cofense Suite, such as PhishMe and Triage, ensures comprehensive email security. Users appreciate the ease of monitoring user mailboxes and the quick quarantine actions taken by Cofense Vision, adding an extra layer of protection against harmful content that primary spam filters might miss.

Overall, Cofense Vision offers valuable insight into previously unnoticed emails, automating their quarantine and removal from user inboxes. With this tool in place, users no longer have to worry about receiving phishing emails in their inbox. Its speed, efficiency, and ability to proactively safeguard against phishing attacks make Cofense Vision an effective email security solution for organizations looking to bolster their defenses against cyber threats.

High Cost for Small Businesses: Some users have found the cost of the software to be high, especially for small businesses. This has made it more suitable for medium or large companies, limiting its affordability and accessibility.

Issues with Migration: Several users have encountered problems when migrating the tool to different versions of an email. These issues have caused inconvenience and delays in the overall functionality and performance of the software.

Lack of Integration with Other Platforms: Integration with other platforms is currently lacking, according to some users.

[Cofense] Vision is an effective solution which goes hand in hand with the other solutions from the Cofense Suite (PhishMe and Triage). Coming from an organization which handles extremely high amount of mail traffic, it is a tedious task to remove the spam/phishing mails by oneself from exchange server. [Cofense] Vision automates that activity serving as a perfect solution from Email security.
  • Auto quarantine for phishing mails
  • Auto quarantine for SPAM mails based on rules made by analyst
  • Detailed analysis on the original mail reported by the user
  • Journaling from exchange is a little difficult to set up
  • Access management to the non admin users can be improved
  • UI is too primitive and can be improved
It is well suited in environments where there is a high mail traffic to handle. [Cofense] Vision basically journals the exchange server and keeps a copy of the mail received in the environment. Really beneficial to revoke and quarantine the mail reported by one user, but footprint is there in other mailboxes as well. Less appropriate in the cases where there is no proper segregation of duties within the organization. As it is possible to see contents of the mail. Only authorized personnel should be able to use it.

Phishing is always the number one attack vector. Cofense helps in this problem along with Vision to identify and prevent advanced threats from coming into our organization. Daily driving the Cofense Vision product shows constant use of the product in a positive way. With many threats coming through email, it helps to have a tool like Cofense Vision to look over.
  • Auto Quarantining.
  • Spam protection.
  • Prevent a variety of phishing attacks.
  • Identifying certain recon or spam attacks.
  • Integration for on-prem testing.
  • Pricing.
Many cases involving phishing attacks require multiple analysts. Using Cofense Vision allows an analyst to get the extra layer of coverage to watch over an influx of emails coming into the organization. Especially with the number of emails coming in, Cofense Vision is able to identify which emails are part of certain attacks and is able to act on the in batch with approval.

We are using Cofense Vision for the whole organization. It is very easy to monitor all the user's mailboxes and takes the appropriate action on the mailbox level to quarantine the emails [...] with just one single click. And the best part is we can have a single pane of glass.
  • Quarantine the malicious mail.
  • Anti-Phishing.
  • Prevention against impersonation attacks.
  • Customer support.
  • Cost effectiveness.
  • Should support all the private/public platforms.
Cofense Vision is [a] powerful email gateway when it comes to detecting and preventing malicious emails. It prevents phishing attacks and can delete phishing emails from the entire organization's mailbox with just a single click. It eases the job of SOC analysts, and they can create [...] phishing attack simulations for the user's training. It lacks when we need [to discover] lookalike domains.

The reason behind installing this anti-phishing software in most of our departments across the organization was to fight back against phishing attacks that have already cost us a lot. We used to get afraid of storing our important credentials in our systems but Cofense [Vision] has given us confidence by providing email security and tracking of threats.
  • Fast speed.
  • The way it quarantines emails that are suspicious of carrying threats.
  • Such valuable software at such an incredible price.
  • It has the ability to track the threat and can stop it in its way.
  • It seems buggy on and off.
  • Its integration, by and large, doesn’t work according to our anticipation and I think it needs more advancement.
  • It was hard for us to integrate it with our already present security stack and this caused a hurdle in getting benefit from other functions.
From the time we have moved to cyberspace one of our major concerns was phishing attacks because we have a clear idea that how this can cause damage to our organization and Cofense [Vision] is the perfect software to get rid of such attacks but when it comes to its integration then in this scenario I won't recommend this because as far as I have observed integration is not working the way we anticipated from it.

Email security was one of the major concerns for our company and we wanted a secure tool to protect us against this problem and Cofense Vision is a great solution against such issues. We are now working in a secure and safe environment and its speed of action is salutary too, as it immediately takes action against suspicious emails.
  • It doesn’t give time for the hackers to attack us .
  • It is an extremely composed tool and is a perfect anti-phishing tool .
  • This tool is effective enough storing emails and also produces duplicate emails.
  • This tool has enabled my team to track who is looking into and for what.
  • Sometimes its system clashes and it stops working all the way and disturbs working.
  • Some of our important emails went missing and we can find them in Cofense Vision and it needs proper checking in order to retrieve email.
  • There are no other cons I could think of as I have not encountered any other so far.
Since [Cofense Vision] has the capability to act against a phishing attack it can be used in all sizes of firms but is most suitable for the mid-sized because sometimes its system clashes. I don’t know exactly the reason behind its clash but as far as I have observed it might be because of overworking or non-compatibility. Despite this fact, this tool is powerful enough against phishing attacks and is a genuine email security tool.

Cofense Vision was a pleasant surprise for us at IT. We started using it more than 1 year ago with the indication of other colleagues. Since implementing Cofense Vision on our AWS, phishing emails have dramatically reduced. It is implemented for all users of our headquarters [where] I work. With features such as AutoQuarantine, the tool already automatically identifies and deletes malicious emails from users' inboxes, ensuring greater network security and preventing curious users from opening the email and becoming infected. This tool is excellent to prevent and remedy external attacks, [minimizing] damage to the organization's business. My inbox never showed up again phishing email after using this tool.
  • AutoQuaratine prevents in advance and eliminates possible malicious emails from users' inboxes.
  • [Cofense Vision] optimizes protection against any phishing attack.
  • It is simple, friendly and easy to use.
  • [Cofense Vision provides] super detailed analysis reports.
  • I haven't been able to identify any problem, bug or defect in the solution so far.
I recommend [Cofense Vision] to all companies and people looking for a practical, safe [and] cheap solution that offers optimized and automated protection against phishing with easy implementation and management, which can be on-premises or in the cloud. Phishing is something that[,] unfortunately[,] exists a lot and it is necessary to [address] this type of threat.

The undetected threats have always been one of our major concerns since they can cause us much damage and the worst part of it is that they can get into our systems and can breach data. It helped us in automatically segregating the emails with threats. Most of our systems in the IT department are equipped with this security tool.
  • It segregates the threat containing emails.
  • It is a proactive tool with the ability to sense and identify threats in emails.
  • It not only just detects suspicious emails but also destroys threats and saves an organization.
  • It immediately provides the security team with the warning of a phishing attack and they can take action to resist that attack on time.
  • It is such an important tool for an organization but is only available at a very expensive price.
  • Honestly, It took us several hours to [get used to] its working and interface.
  • Although they claim that Cofense Vision will not intervene with the system but it didn’t come up to our expectations.
Cofense Vision is unfavorable to those who cannot afford the disturbance in their systems since we have encountered this major issue that resulted in affecting our normal work. But apart from that, we have found it as a marvelous anti-phishing tool and its artificial intelligence is sufficient enough to smell if there is something fishy.

Cofense Vision is used at the level of several departments of our company, this is because Cofense Vision is a powerful tool that [helps] detect the presence of phishing emails or those that are suspicious[.] We not only remain protected at the level we also protect our users thanks to the fact that we can respond quickly to potential threats[.] One of its most relevant characteristics[,] is that it is capable of detecting and repairing said threats in record time, which is why we use it to keep our organization free [from] threats that harm it.
  • It enables quick searches on emails that pose a threat at the business level.
  • It makes it possible to quarantine infected emails in just a few minutes.
  • It is very easy to use and configure.
  • Brings templates that help to have a better education of business cybersecurity.
  • Authorizes the creation of policies for a fully automated quarantine of emails, this saves time.
  • Its cost can be somewhat high when it comes to a small business, so it is perfectly suited to medium or large companies.
  • It can throw problems when it comes to migrating said tool in the different versions of an email.
  • Its configuration is simple, but it is important to fully understand its operation to give adequate responses to possible threats.
  • It would be ideal if it could be integrated with your platform.
[Cofense Vision] is ideal for educating yourself in the different cyber security scenarios, this is thanks to the fact that it has templates that can be customized. [Cofense Vision] provides highly flexible implementation and compatibility, meaning that it is tailored to the needs of each business, so any answer to support business security is fully supported. [Cofense Vision] helps to avoid threats or the presence of harmful emails thanks to the fact that it has a very fast search for them. [Cofense Vision] is an appropriate tool for detecting phishing emails, because it has an automated quarantine created through the establishment of policies.

Cofense Vision is giving us insight into emails that we never had before. [It is] easy to automatically quarantine emails that weren't caught by our primary spam filter and to instantly remove malicious emails from our users' inboxes.
  • Removal of infected emails
  • Automatic quarantine on known bad emails
  • Better API
Good product at removing malicious emails directly from end users' inboxes.
