"Powerful Automation, But Needs Smarter Quarantine and Campaign Grouping"
4/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

What I like the most about PhishER is the automation functionality when creating the rules. The ability for us to create rules and automate certain actions based on the rules makes reviewing the reported emails much easier for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

What I dislike about PhishER is that it doesnt have the ability to automatically quarantine a confirmed phishing email. In this use case where a phishing campaign is sent out to users and I find it on phishER and phishRIP all the emails and quarantine them, if the same email is sent again later, it does not automatically quarantine it based on past actions to that email. Another thing is that when a phishing campaign is sent to our users and they all report it, it shows that one email reported by so many multiple users - it would be nice if the system could detect that all the reported emails were part of the same campaign and maybe just have the campaign in the inbox where we could click it to see all the reported emails. Both dislikes are fairly minor but just things that could improve the experience of the admins who review the emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Isa Munoz of KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus

Thank you for highlighting how our automation rules are helping your team work more efficiently! We appreciate your thoughtful suggestions about automatic quarantine based on past actions and campaign-level grouping of duplicate reports. These are exactly the kinds of insights that help us understand real-world admin workflows, and we're always looking for ways to make threat management even more streamlined for security teams like yours.

"A Security Product That Our Users Enjoy Using... Surprisingly Enough"
4.5/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

We are a small team, made smaller but recent RIFs, and the automation features of PhishER are a life saver. We can configure exactly how we want and trust that it will just work. In the rare event that we actually need to sign into the dashboard to investigate something, they retain everything. We can even release a copy of any emails filtered if need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Learning to configure it the way we want is a bit time consuming. They have done an amazing job to make it as easy as possible, but we have still misconfigured it more than once. I have no recommendations on how to make it better because it is already as good as I can think to make it, but there is definitely a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Isa Munoz of KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus

Thank you for this fantastic review! We love hearing that PhishER is working so seamlessly for your lean team that you rarely need to sign in. We understand there's a learning curve with initial configuration, and we appreciate your recognition that we've tried to make it as straightforward as possible. Your "set it and forget it" success story is exactly what we aim for, freeing up small teams to focus on what matters most.

"Love PhishER"
4.5/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Once you identify a message as a threat in the PhishER console, PhishRIP can automatically search all your users’ mailboxes and "rip" that email out before anyone else clicks it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Users are diligent, but 90% of what they report is actually "noise"—newsletters, HR announcements, or legitimate spam. Your analysts waste time manually opening and inspecting safe emails to find the one real threat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the effective training modules that I can share with my staff, which are instrumental in teaching them to identify phishing emails and know how to react appropriately. The setup process was smooth, thanks to a great implementation team who handled everything. I find the realistic regular emails that test various aspects of phishing emails to be very helpful for staff training. The testing emails seem so real, providing true tests for the staff, and I value their contribution to developing a vigilant team.
