Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Phish Threat
We use Sophos Phish Threat to test all our users in the organization. We are able to customize phishing tests for the department or user in what they will see most often. This helps better prepare our users for possible phishing emails they could get to their work email or even their personal email.
- Updated phishing scams and training
- Ease of use interface
- Reports on Passing and failing.
- I wish I could mark manually that someone passed the training that way if a big group gets caught we can sit down and use our training class for the users.
- Our employees have become more aware of different phishing tactics used since we have started using Sophos Phish Threat
- We have had an increase in reporting of possible phishing emails since we started using Sophos Phish Threat
- We have also been able to block certain IP addresses from sending us emails since all they do is send phishing emails to us
We selected Sophos as it integrates with our antivirus solution and we only have one dashboard for both. It just made sense to bundle the sophos phish threat with intercept X and antivirus solutions we have in place, and all of it is on a cloud based interface for easily managing and running reports from anywhere.

We were reevaluating our endpoint protection and were looking at Sophos. We were able to get a bundle of Sophos Endpoint Protection, Intercept X, and phish Threat for less than the renewal cost of our current endpoint protection that did not offer any additional features we were looking for and it is all on one interface.
I would say that the Demo that was provided by Sophos on their products was very in depth and allowed us to make the right decision on purchasing their products.

Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Had a Problem with some users not being able to see the training. These users were blocked from viewing streaming sites so we can keep bandwidth down. I submitted a ticket and the same day I got a call to troubleshoot the issue. They were able to walk me through where to find the site that was being tagged for blocking and re-tag it as a training page to allow through firewall.
