Cofense PhishMe vs. Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Cofense PhishMe is an excellent solution for scenarios where it will be sold as a managed service. I believe that PhishMe is too expensive for many clients and instead would benefit from the economies of scale where an MSSP sells it as part of a whole service, which offers the analysts and reporting included. PhishMe is excellent for training and awareness of Phishing, but shouldn't replace mandatory training for new joiners or yearly refreshers, it should only be used as an additional training option.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is found to be well suited for our size company, and easily for smaller or larger companies as well. It does have a few places where improvements can be made, but at least it also asks you to provide feedback to Microsoft, which I have done with certain suggestions or complaints. However, overall it is a very thorough and useful tool when it comes to securing and defending yourself against trending threats.

• It gives clear-cut segregation of different parts of an email, header, text and HTML body, URL, attachments, HTML preview and some analytical insight like "similar reports." This distinctive approach actually helps reduce data overload during an analysis.
• The URLs captured here pass through an automatic reputation check [in our case VirusTotal] and add a tag of the reputation. If it is a well-known bad URL the tag helps us take the decision fast.
• For creating automation rules on the reported emails the "Recipes" section is really helpful. We can create easy recipes [or rules ] to handle a huge flow of reports and also we can create more sophisticated rules depending on the Cyber intelligence feed to catch the really bad currently less known attack attempts by malicious emails.
• The "Threat Indicators" section is also useful to use as a threat intelligence source to check the URLs for their maliciousness.

• It has been seamlessly working for us. We have not faced any issue as an end user. I've not faced many issues around accessing my apps, securely accessing and I've also seen certain links being blocked if I do not have correct access based on the security level that is defined for each user.

• Completely switching to the new UI - Most is redesigned, but some old elements remain
• Ability to spoof known brands - limited in scope now and you are not allowed to use fully "convincing" campaigns that we are seeing in the wild
• Ability to own and manage own domains - right now adding a new company domain requires a ticket, allow us to add/verify ourselves

• I think it needs to be tuned correctly. For example, afterwards I tried to go in and print once after the implementation was done, I went in and tried to print a file or export a document. Just not possible, which just means it's great, works really well, but it also means that you have to tune your data categorization very carefully.

Its built with UX in mind and is aimed at non-tech people, to ensure that almost everyone can run the campaign. But if we go deeper - sometimes you will need an HTML editor or support in order to figure out some advanced edits you might want to add in your scenarios.

I have not had to use their support for pretty much anything. The software works well, and is very intuitive. I would imagine their support would be rather basic as there is not too much that can go wrong with a report phishing button, and if it were I would probably consider a different software.

It's a must, even if you are never going to use the tool. Cofense aims to provide phishing training first and tool second.

There are some hiccups, but there are meant to be, when you implement something in a large scale enterprise.

Cofense PhishMe was the first choice for us as the user interface as well as their bundle package with Cofense Triage and Vision has helped the organisation to alleviate the overall security awareness posture. The other vendors did not provide a vast range of phishing scenarios as compared to Cofense PhishMe platform.

Sentinel One. Well, we have two different products at the same time. Just see which one is the best fit for our business. So nowadays we're using both at the same time.

• Recipes in the system are capable of handling almost 2x what an analyst does, which cuts down the efforts [of] an analyst and provides more time for accurate strategies.
• With roughly 90% false positives coming through, the remaining 10% of true positives need as much attention as they can get for the full investigation and analysis.
• 1,500 or more phishing messages can come through in a given week and the amount of time/employees required to review this without a tool like Cofense is surely beyond [the] expected/anticipated budget.

• The positive aspect is the security of the employees, security of the data. There is no breach I can say. So it is a good impact. I mean there is not any bad or negative impact.
