- Proofpoint has a huge library of phishing emails to choose from. They add new examples every week.
- The training modules are fun and interactive and keep the user engaged.
- The posters, and downloadable materials are amazing and really give a great visual to support your security campaigns.
- The product is easy to use, and Proofpoint Support Staff are always available to help with any issues you have.
Cons
- After a training module is completed you will have people who have not done the assignment. I would like to see a way to auto enroll or add them to a new assignment, from the one the did not complete.
- Mostly my issues are around the people who do not finish a training and how to make the process easier for the administrator since I am doing three of these a week it is hard to keep up with the people who do not finish or even start.
