"Set it and Forget it but there is so much more..."

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The Phish Alert button is great and easy for users to help them identify possible bad email. It also takes the load off the help desk for replying to users that, "Yes, indeed you have properly ID a bad email".

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Cost is always a concern and the cost for the three year renewal has doubled compared to what we payed 3 years ago. But we are still customers because it is so easy to use and manage.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Phish Alert button is one method users can be self-sufficient in reporting and contributing to helping organizations ID bad emails. It makes the users feel as if they are really helping mitigate bad actors.

"PhisER Automation Works"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER automates the bulk of the work we were using to track phishing emails. The program was easy to implement and was added as part of our KnowBe4 training program.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The training was helpful but there are a lot of features that I am not sure that are being used to the fullest potential.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Government organizations are constantly batteling with phishing email scams. PhishER has allowed us to turn legimate Phish attempts into training for end users. Works very well for keeping our users trained and vigilant.

"Great Training and Testing Program"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

This product provides great training and testing for our staff. We have been using this product for two years and have seen a significant reduction in phishing success while seeing an increase in attempts. The training and testing campaigns are automated, and the reporting tools are easy to use as well. The variety of phishing styles and the real world delivery has helped our users become very proficient with identifying these attempts. The easy deployment of the PhishAlert tool in O365 simplified integration.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER is a good tool but could use some interface streamlining. PhishRiP is less effective than you would expect it to be, with a general inability to find similiar messages automatically.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Phishing attempts to users of varying technical skills.

"So far...AMAZING"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I love that i have the opportunity to view all emails in the dashboard before the end user is able to see them. Also, they can be quarantined and deleted before the end user knows they exist.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The only downside i've experienced with KnowBe4ER is the constant meetings in the beginning of the service. Initially, i understood why we needed to meet and onboard as much as we did, but we are nearly a year into using the service. At this point we should be trusted to fly freely, but we still are having meetings once a month.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

KnowBe4 is soloving our issue with phishing, and potentially threatening emails. We all know that the weakest point in any organization is the end user. KnowBe4 PhishER is the bodyguard to that weakness.

"Integrated way to report phishing attempts"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Our IT department recently installed a plugin in Microsoft Outlook that allows you to report a suspected phishing attempt with the click of a button. It's simple and effective to use.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I haven't found anything that I dislike about PhishER so far. It's not a free service, so it could be cost-prohibitive for some nonprofits, organizations, and companies, but it's a great service.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our IT department implemented required phishing training to all employees and then implemented PhishER in our Outlook email program. Our employees are now more knowledgeable about phishing attempts and this gives us a great way to report phishing emails without having to contact IT every time. IT even sends out fake phishing attempts to see how employee awareness has changed.

"PhishER is an excellent self-service check for phishing and threats delivered via Email"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Before PhishER, IT had to manually check every suspect email reported to us. Now, we only need to check email with an "Unknown" verdict. Saves us a LOT of time, and risk! Since email remains the primary vector by which cybersec threats are successfully delivered, having this additional layer of protection for the email that gets through our front-end scanners is critical.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The only downside in my opinion is that as an engineer, I would like to see the specific reasons that PhishER assessed a particular email as a threat. This is a small negative, however!

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

PhishER is adding additional protection to our email environment, and of course that is of great benefit. It's also providing a business benefit by automating the reporting and initial assessment of suspect email.

"PhishER good and bad"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The best part of PhishER is the ease of reviewing all reported suspicious emails and how it learns which email flagged as clean to automatically do the same if similar email messages were reported again. The most helpful part of PhishER is the capability to query for similar email messages, and further action can be taken.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The capability to query for similar email messages and quarantine is great but it's lacking because it fails to find many similar messages where similar messages ends up reported by the users instead of already being quarantine.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The IT department usually get emails individually or an IT ticket asking if a suspicious email is legitimate or not. PhishER decreased that interaction (where IT staff have to take time to review the suspicious email, take action, and respond back to the user) as it is complete that same task automatically. It also provides a timely response if the email is clean. This is benefitting us because actions are being taken to address suspicious emails received.
