"A simple yet powerful incident response tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

What makes it truly exceptional is that it doesn't depend solely on its own technology to detect threats. Rather, it begins with my users—the individuals on the front lines. The emphasis on 'harnessing human observation' is a major advantage. Sophisticated attacks often slip past even the most advanced filters, but gathering insights from a trained global community provides a level of intelligence that's hard to surpass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The integration and setup process is definitely complicated; I really wish it were much simpler. There are still a significant number of false positives, and accuracy issues persist. At times, the Phish Alert Button fails to function as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PhishER - The warrior to catch the phish emails"
5/5
What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

KnowBe4's PhishER/PhishER Plus has numerous features. One of the best part of KnowBe4 is the Phish Alert Report button that comes with this product. We can install this button on the end user's email system, such as Outlook. With the help of this button, users can report suspicious emails in just a few clicks. This helps us to save their time and effort in the reporting process.

The central dashboard for all reported emails. It helps the SOC team to review all the reported emails by users in one place without missing any one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishRIP is a product that comes with PhishER. The limitation of the PhishRIP is that we can only query the emails reported by end users with the same name, email address, and subject line or attachments. We cannot create a query from our side to search for any different type of emails.

The PhishML algorithms need to improve to reduce the false positive results. Sometimes they say a clean email is spam and give it a big spam score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The deployment of PhishER saved the IT team time because end users can now report spam to the PhishER system directly.

Sometimes, I wish there was a way for the system to auto-categorize the spam emails sent to PhishER by the end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
