"Overall a decent system!"

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

I love the fact that it can take (based on confidence levels you set) automatically take actions to submitted emails. I looked yesterday and found a dozen auto-handled emails where users had marked things as spam, and it checked, found them clean and safe, and sent them back with a note that explained the returned phish alert. Very handy time-saver.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

It is a tad confusing to use at times, especially around configuring the auto-actions. There is a lot of time spent going back and forth with the documentation as to how to set up the remediation - all things that a setup wizard should/would take care of, but it is left to you to discover it all by trial and error.

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

False-flag phishes - we spend less time reviewing user-submitted emails for things like messages from email lists they specifically signed up for, alerts from internal systems, etc. PhishER can auto-remediate these with pretty darn good accuracy.

PhishER allows me to automate much of the work I was previously doing with responding to alerts from users using the phish alert button. The tool also consolidates all of the investigations I would normally have to do into one easy pane of glass.
