    For cybersecurity practitioners interested in advancing their skillset in deeply technical matters, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications offers some of the most well respected, up to date, technically challenging and comprehensive training courses out there; however, users must be very disciplined, determined and resourceful in order to make the most of the high quality content on offer since good time management is critical and "Try Harder" isn't just a motto for Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications given the content could frustrate some inexperienced users that may be pressed for time and don't have enough drive to spend learning a good amount of possibly unfamiliar but essential content and concepts

    Cons
    Offensive Security
    • The exams are quite hard to pass and some require a lot of hours to be spent on them which might leave some exhausted
    • Some of the content can be hard to remember since there is a lot of syntax that might be intimidating to users not familiar with something similar from before
    • Perhaps consider more specific, tailored courses rather than courses which cover many topics at once which might not necessarily be within the same niche
    • More human to human interaction could be beneficial to prepare for the exams sometimes

    • It should be easier to follow up with a user when they haven't completed training.
    • More options for reporting would be nice.
    • Better choice of users as all emails have been imported (aliases, dist. list. etc) taking up licenses.

    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
    Offensive Security
    Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications are very comprehensive, regularly kept up to date and, unlike some other courses out there, are quite challenging and technically demanding even for industry colleagues who've been in the field for many years; for this reason, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications is excellent for your more senior cyber security analysts/engineers as it will enable these technical experts in your organisation to further enhance their knowledge and learn some new tricks that they can then bring back to the workplace to share with the rest of the team
