Ease of implementation and ease of use .

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I really do not have anything to say that I dislike about the product

We often get sent Phishing attempts and being that most of our end users are not that computer savvy we always have to be on alert. This helps is in training the end users and to allow them to be more conscious about perspective attacks.

"Amazing Tool, Set It and Forget It"

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

As a small org with a tiny IT department I appreciate having a tool that is largely hands off after set up. As with almost any IT initiave, we have some users that have really embraced using the alert button and others that just don't. The backend setup for the emaol button was very straightforward.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Without assistance in the set up, the learning curve for setting up the rules could be intimidating. Having said that, our customer service rep helped us set up the rules.

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

Rather than our old system of having users forward potentially harmful emails to IT for evaluation, the PhishER system does this for us. That saves us time and allows us to allocate resources elsewhere.

"PhishER is a product that keeps evolving and improving"

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

This is just the start, but essentially the ability to quickly review submitted items & perform queries to rip the e-mail from all mailbox across our tenants, in addition ability to perform block functions directly from PhishER into our Microsoft Tenant without having to navigate seperately makes the process smooth & easy to control from one location. Implementing it was a breeze, simple and pretty straight forward.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The one downside is some missing options especially when it potrays to blocking, in Microsoft you have the ability to block indefinitely, however in PhishER there is not indefinite option. While it doesn't happen often, there are instances were we would like a permanent block.

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

"PhishER gives you the tools to help manage both real phishing emails as well as simulated ones."

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

- Ease of use and implementation

- Phish Report button allows for a straightforward way for end-users to report what they believe to be a Phishing email

- PhishRip allows you to quickly quarantine a mass phishing email on campus. Quicker than the built in Microsot tools

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I really would like to see some sort of whitelist and blacklist setup in the console so we can manually assign certain addresses and domains as clean/risky. Also, email alerts can be a little slow at times

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

An easy way for end-users to report suspicious emails and also gives IT the ability to quarantine risky emails in our enviorment utilizing PhishRip.

It it benefiting IT in that we are spending less time on getting these risky emails out of people's inboxes and less time explaining to end-users if a particular email is suspicious or legitamate

"Helpful tool to look at headers and analyze links and attachments"

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

It's easy to train end users to click on the Phish Alert button which sends us the original header information (unlike forwarding the email). It's also nice to be able to directly request and get analysis of links and attachments.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I do wish some of the analysis was more automated. For example, I check the headers for the SPF records to make sure that the IP address sending the email is approved by the domain. That information is there and highlighted but I'd prefer it to simply pop up showing that the sending IP is or isn't approved for the domain.

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

Phish ER speeds up the analysis of potential phishing email and really simplifies the process.

"Security Awareness without the Hassle"

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

Most tools that are as versatile and adaptable as PhishER are much more complicated to use. The interface and options in the PhishER dashboard are so well explained and designed that the learning curve is not steep at all.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

Once you set up rules and actions in PhishER, it's a set-it-and-forget-it type of system. The only reason to log back in is to review questionable communications and flag/ban them as needed.

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

PhishER takes most of the guesswork out of the equation when addressing phishing attacks, allowing us to focus on the most severe or questionable attacks rather than the obvious ones.
