"Best tools to fight with Phishing emails"
4/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER is a product from a well-known company, KnowBe4. As the name suggests, it helps catch the phishing emails that cross the email gateway border. It does it by allowing the end users to report the suspicious emails directly to the IT Security team.

The best part of this tool is that it provides an easy way to report phishing emails. An email plugin called Phish Alert is installed on the end users' email system, allowing them to report all suspicious emails by clicking on it.

It also helps the IT Security team by gathering all the reported emails to the PhishER dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER is a good tool, but it has some space for improvement:

The integration part can be extended to other security tools.

The PhishRip query should have the capability to search all the emails instead of the reported one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product that does what we need it to do."
4/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

KnowBe4s products are mostly easy to use and do what we need them to do. We started off looking into their product for our business in order to keep our employees up to date on protecting us and themselves from phishing attacks. Their product makes it quite easy (after the initial setup) to create and schedule phishing tests.

Along with the phishing training we were not expecting, but happily surprised, that their platform will also handle standard online training formats, like SCORM. I was able to convert some PowerPoint files via another bit of software and upload those to KnowBe4, and now some of out yearly training items (Sexual Harassments training, CPNI training and the like) no longer need to be meetings or waste paper. A surprising added benefit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The initial setup, for us, took quite a bit of doing, though that may be more of the non-standard email setup our business has. After getting through that process I have not run into any further issues. Sometimes their site runs a bit slow, but that seems to be getting better as well.

Response from Isa Munoz of KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with PhishER and our training platform, Aaron! We're delighted to hear that you've discovered additional value through our SCORM capabilities for your compliance training needs. While we understand the initial setup was challenging with your email configuration, we're glad to hear things are running smoothly now. Thank you for being a valued KnowBe4 customer!
