Very intuitive and easy to use the system, so we didn't need much support. When we have had questions, our relationship manager has been very helpful with getting us the right answer, even if he didn't have it himself.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's appropriate if your goal is to remind employees of the importance of information security at a high level, via module training as well as phishing exercises. The phishing exercises are great, however, the reporting on them is not reliable, as because of outlook previews an email is being marked as read even when an employee deleted it or reported it.
