Overall Satisfaction with Cofense PhishMe

Cofense products help us manage various malicious and phishing emails. It lets our users, the last line of defense, identify any malevolent emails that might have glided past our email filters and enables them to report it to Cofense, who, in turn, perform analysis to provide us with the outlook of my organization's email threat landscape.
  • Email analysis
  • Simulation of phishing emails
  • User awareness
  • Visibility on how the IOC contribution from my orgn. is being used across the ecosystem.
  • The simulation portal feels outdated.
  • The reporting part could be better.
  • Good value in terms of product functionality.
  • More expensive and could be made more competitive, which causes a bit of hassle in terms of budget/procurement, especially since comparative costing by other vendors is cheaper.
  • The product has helped us analyze and maintain a good risk posture in terms of the email threatscape.
Cofense is more comprehensive in its offerings given that the field of email security and email-related staff awareness is their focus area, while for Cymulate, it is only a component of testing and nothing else. Hence, it was quite beneficial to use Cofense in that regard.

In conducting simulation-related activities, Cofense performs a very good job. Their support system to run the activity from planning to translating the content to local languages and the actual execution was quite good. These simulation exercises have been helpful in raising and maintaining awareness against phishing across our staff. The results also provide us with an insight into the "risky" behavior of certain staff who could be guided accordingly.
