"Great Product to Ensure"

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

PhishER is an excellent tool for companies to protect themselves from phishing attacks. It effectively filters out malicious emails and alerts users to potential threats, allowing us to respond quickly. The interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and the reporting features provide valuable insights into the system's effectiveness.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

My feedback is about the lack of features in the discussion tab. It would be nice to have a back-and-forth discussion with the end users to understand better why they report specific emails. It also would be a great feature to help end users gain more detailed knowledge.

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

PhishER has helped make reporting suspicious emails easy for our end users. Its main benefit is doing a job that would take two or three people easily managed by one.

"Very useful product"

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

-Ability to deploy a prominent "Report Phishing" icon to my Microsoft 365 users

-Ability to both manually review reported emails and create rules to have it done automatically

-Ability to run URL's and attachments through a 3rd party such as VirusTotal

-Easy to navigate UI

-Notifies me when I have emails to review

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I haven't experienced any downsides yet.

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

Helping us get a grasp on what types of phishing schemes are coming into our organization. It also has helped me understand that my users don't understand the difference between "spam" and "phishing" based on the types of emails they have been reporting so we have an idea of what kind of education to be pushing.

"Comprehensive cybersecurity training and testing Platform for all users"

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

Saves you time when it comes to building your social media phishing campaigns. Saves helpdesk staff a lot of time managing the constant flow of inbox threats. Allows you to de-fang a known threat and build a replica threat to test users w/o the payload consequences.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

KnowBe4 does not sit between your email provider and your users. It simply has the ability to test users with different phishing campaigns and also collect suspicious emails when users report them. I wish the PhishER service were just included and not a separate product which you have to either buy ala carte or pay more for the premium bundle.

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

Cyber Security Training for our staff to prevent Ransomware, Data Theft, etc.

"Phisher caught Attachment"

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

WOW!! Phisher had only been enabled for a very short time. It caught an email attachment that had been sent out to several users at the company. We were able to mitigate the Phish and keep our company secured from possible attacks.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Currently Phisher has been a part of our security for emails. We have only used it for less than 3 or 4 weeks. I have not found anything to dislike about this product.

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

Before Phisher we had a process that users would use to send us emails that were concerning or phishing emails. We were made aware of them but did not have an action for remediation. Phiser has now given us an action plan and a simple to use process to help with remediation and keep our systems secure.
