Phished Reviews & Product Details

Regular training using harmless phishing attacks ensures that you remain alert in the area of security awareness. In addition, the Security Awareness Training Academy offers valuable insights that not only increase your awareness of the physical cybersecurity of everyone who enters the building, but also teach you how to identify threats on your own home workstation. This tool offers undeniable added value for an organisation's overall cybersecurity, as the human factor often poses the greatest risk in cybersecurity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The training sessions take a little longer than the estimated time they show (but then again, I may be a slow reader) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Phished has truly made me realize the dangers of cybersecurity and confronted me with them. Otherwise, I would never have had that awareness. Therefore, it has become a must-have for me to maintain this level of alertness in the way of working within our company through Phished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To speak of a downside, I wouldn't say immediately. What is characteristic of a disruptive company like Phished is that change management is very important, and sometimes you run into your limits there. However, Phished also has an answer to this, as they have experience with this 'pain' within the company and have the right methodology to support and guide you as a client through it.

The Phished.io platform is looking to shake up the phishing simulation landscape, by auto-generating phishing simulation content, autonomously scheduling phishing campaigns on a custom cadence, and assigning individual behavioral risk scores based on individual interactions with the service. There is no more setting reminders or tasks to send out manual campaigns anymore, and it's ease of use make it an almost set it and forget it solutions for meeting contractual and compliance requirements in this area.

• The UI/UX needs some attention, as the interface feels clunky for being a "new-age" training platform.

• Some attention to integration work would be appreciated, as implementation of the tool with Google Workspace and Okta took longer than expected to get the platform operational

• Additionally, customer support was unable to assist me in resolving why direct message injection (DMI) wasn't working for us and we defaulted to SMTP (which calls for some ongoing maintenance)

• The built in administrative phishing analysis feature remains manual and not all that helpful in analyzing non-simulated phishing emails

• It does what it needs to do, but I feel like an early adopter of the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Phished because it is straightforward and very practical. The simulations feel realistic, the lessons are not too long. When i fail a simulation the follow-up guidance is clear, it explains exactly what went wrong and I get the simple steps to avoid the same mistake in the future. As for the upsides of using Phished I would put fast measurable tool in awareness, clear and short training modules, scalable and repeatable where it works for any size of the team, whether the team consists of 10 or 500 people.

Phished is very cloud-centric. If your organization needs downloadable or offline modules for companies with restricted internet access the options might be limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Data Protection Officer, I often find it challenging to maintain employee engagement and momentum around cyber awareness and hygiene. Phished addresses this by offering a gamified training platform, combining realistic simulations with the Phished Academy and its diverse features. This approach motivates employees to improve their 'BRS' (risk score) and encourages healthy competition to achieve better results. Additionally, the training sessions and threat alerts are designed to be concise and engaging, avoiding repetition or boredom. The platform’s user-friendly experience also makes implementation straightforward, requiring minimal effort from our team.

We have been using Phished for several years, and the overall experience across the company has been very positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly can't find anything I genuinely dislike about Phished. Whenever our company notices something that could be improved or feels that something is missing, we share our feedback, and the team always takes it seriously. They actively collaborate with us to see how they can address our requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trainings are concise and straightforward, so they are easy to put into practice without taking up much time. The simulated phishing emails keep me alert to possible risks and motivate me to check my emails more thoroughly. As a result, I now consider the risk factor with every email I get, making this something I use daily. It is simple to integrate into your work environment, and their customer support is helpful.

I don't like that reminders are automatically stopped after I ignore them a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Phished provides a thorough educational experience about security, helping me reduce the chances of making mistakes that could lead to security issues. It offers a well-structured, step-by-step learning process, allowing me to gradually become more aware of various threats and how to handle them effectively. The ease of spending just a few minutes every few weeks to learn about possible threats is very convenient. I find it extremely valuable that Phished introduces topics I was previously unfamiliar with and gives practical suggestions on how to tackle these security threats. The guides on safely using smartphones and understanding different types of phishing are particularly insightful, alongside the well-considered module on discussing security with children. The initial setup was also very easy, which adds to the software’s user-friendliness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the phishing simulation emails are sent out a bit too often. Maybe that is fine the first couple of times but once you have received a number of them, they shouldn't be coming in nearly every week, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Phised is its practical, hands-on approach to teaching online security and phishing prevention. The material is straightforward yet comprehensive, offering both theoretical background and real-world examples of phishing techniques. It’s evident that Phised keeps its content current with the latest threats, which makes it especially relevant and valuable.

The most helpful feature of Phised is its detailed training on how to recognize phishing attempts and understand the strategies attackers use. The platform excels at explaining not just how to identify phishing, but also why certain behaviors or requests should be considered suspicious. This insight has made it much easier for me to avoid falling for scams and to assist others in staying secure.

A major benefit of using Phised is the sense of empowerment it provides. The platform goes beyond simply teaching about phishing; it also gives you practical tools to respond effectively. The flexibility of its online courses, which can be completed at your own pace, is another significant advantage. Whether for personal or professional development, Phised offers a solid foundation in cybersecurity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I’ve noticed is that I tend to postpone the training due to other priorities. However, after receiving reminders, I realize that the courses actually only take a few minutes to complete. Another minor point is that advanced users might find some topics a bit basic. But overall, these are small drawbacks compared to the platform’s value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Phished for about a year for cybersecurity awareness training, and it constantly keeps me informed about new threats and data leaks that I might be exposed to. I love its intuitive interface, which makes navigating through the platform effortlessly and enhances my overall user experience. The lessons provided by Phished are impressive because they are compact and well-spaced out, allowing for a more manageable and less overwhelming learning process. The setup process was easy and completely handled by the Phished itself, which lowered the barrier for implementation and integration into my workflow. Overall, these aspects collectively contribute to a smooth and efficient training experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it problematic that more of the lessons are not made available at the start and are instead drip-fed over the course of weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Phished is excellent at keeping people alert by providing straightforward, realistic phishing tests along with brief lessons. This approach makes everyone much more difficult to deceive, all without requiring much additional effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback is that it can become somewhat tiring for employees, and it still requires a certain amount of setup and ongoing attention. It won't resolve every issue by itself unless the company remains actively involved in managing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
