Infosec IQ vs. Sophos Phish Threat

If the company is very small, the Infosec IQ solution might be a little overkill. However, for a medium to large company, I think Infosec IQ is a great tool for providing cybersecurity training, reporting, and assessment testing for all employees. Based on the information gathered during training, testing, etc., it allows the cybersecurity manager to focus on what employees need additional training or potential weak spots in the current training. This is important information to report to senior leadership. It also serves to meet cybersecurity awareness training that may be a compliance requirement for customer contracts, governmental standards, etc

If you're looking for a tool to maximize digital productivity without hindering the effectiveness of your workforce, Sophos is a great tool. It quickly & safely manages the threat level across all of our digital channels to reduce the potential engagement with fishy characters or websites that might present vulnerabilities.

• In our case, being in Mexico, a limit to the type of content we can use is the Spanish translation. Not all resources have this option.

They continue to work on the interface but there are still weird places where you have to hover to see options come up, weird navigation sometimes. Administering is not my favorite part of it. Need to increase their capability for uploading your own training.

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

We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

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.

When evaluating potential solutions for their effectiveness and return on investment (ROI), several factors stood out in our decision to choose Infosec IQ: Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration, excellent Support and Customer Service: and scalability/flexibility:

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.
