    The information is timely and allows us to keep our employees apprised of the risks that are out there - before they become an issue for us. The system has allowed us to stay in front of current threats and provide testing of our users to determine that they are indeed not falling for phishing attempts.

    Cons
    Sophos
    • 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.

    Usability
    Sophos
    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 Rating
    Sophos
    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.

    The two programs are comparable - we chose ThreatAdvice Educate because of their superior support staff - as well as tie ins to other services that they offer that compliment this. The system keeps our users current and support is easily available for any issues that arise. We have been happy with that choice.

    • Positively impacts my web-browsing experience. As an Account Executive, it enables me to do my company research quickly without engaging with any bad actors.
    • It runs in the background so it never impedes my workflows.
