It is easy to use and setup. You can schedule the Phish email test to be
sent out in the future or right away. You can also send to all users in
your list as well as stagger so all users do not get the email at the
same time and tell each other there is a test going on

Support is solid but not spectacular. While I haven't used support for Phish Threat specifically, this is a general rating for Sophos' support across the board. It could be easier to find the FAQ or other information I need, but when I've needed to reach out to support they've been good to work with.

Alternatives Considered
Cofense LMS was received to us a bundled pack of Cofense LMS, Cofense Traiage, Cofense Vision and Cofense Reporter. The overall phishing and protection suite by Cofense is super effective to tackle and improve the phishing campaigns and mitigate the on going attacks. Other LMS are available in the market as a standalone option but LMS along with the other products from the Cofense suite makes it a great option to choose.

We selected Phish Threat because it was an easy to use add-on for our existing Sophos solution. By having it integrated into our existing antivirus, email, and encryption suite it allowed for a single pane of glass management in addition to robust total reporting of what users and computers we need to be most concerned about.

  • A lot of awareness of phishing emails has resulted in fewer attacks.
  • Fewer phishing attacks = less money used on tracing the outcomes of an attack.
  • Happier clients who know we're very focused on our security and infrastructure.
