Quality wins

So far we've educated users on data protection, GDPR, and what to look for in phishing emails. Results are tangile, in both click prone rates and course completion.

PROS

The software is easy to use, the managed service just makes our life easier. I've saved so much time! I can't believe the price is so low based on the quality of service we receive, too! The quality of the video content is extremely high and extremely engaging. The "little and often" method of teaching so far, seems to be far more effective than any other platform I've previously used.

CONS

There are no cons really. it's cheaper and better than it's competitors.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

I think the approach from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - really honest, an amazing demo. It really blew me away at how quality the product is (a smaller library of really high-quality content vs a massive library of less great content), and the fact that I was dealing with someone who understood our needs and requirements.The support and service management team are excellent and explain things well.

A valuable addition to your security posture

PROS

The guided setup process made initial config easy, and being able to use AzureAD users/groups keeps administration simple. There's an amazing variety of options for the phishing emails themselves, and excellent reporting options. The training courses have also been useful in educating our users. We used the "managed service" option, which includes quarterly review/planning sessions with a knowledgeable account manager.

CONS

I'm required to write at least one "con" here, so...um, the name's kind of irritating, especially at a company with several actual fishermen on staff.

Great Software, Great Team, Great Pricing

PROS

This software is pretty much plug and play. We were able to purchase and set up campaigns to start testing our internal team in less than 2 days. This is by far the easiest tool I have seen for increasing a company's security posture. They also have a vast library of prebuilt phishing emails and training connect ready for us to use.

CONS

There really were not any issues I have had at all with the product. It is a solid piece of product and it works flawlessly.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

Pricing, setup time, and overall product were key reasons we chose Phishing Tackle.

Feature rich, great value first SAT platform for us

Great product, excellent onboarding experience and ongoing support. If you're starting out in the area of Security Awareness Training I would highly recommend taking a look at Phishing Tackle.

PROS

Simple to perform the initial configuration and to get quickly up and running with your first baseline phishing campaign. Reasonable selection of media content for starting out with courses, and custom content can be added through support. We took the white-labelling solution which has given us a nice branded Security Awareness Training portal within our domain that fits with organisational branding and reinforces trust and the messaging being delivered. Support is fast and knowledgeable. Reporting available on the platform has met all our needs.

CONS

The only addition I would value would be the ability to make minor changes to courses after they have started (e.g. adding additional participants if auto-enrol new users wasn't selected, changing due dates or notification options, etc). Right now the only way to do that is to recreate the course, which looses participant progress.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

Whilst KnowBe4 had more very well produced content and gamification features, Phishing Tackle had all the capabilities we were looking to start with and at a much better pricing point.

Phishing Tackle Admin

I thoroughly enjoy my catch monthly meetings with [sensitive content hidden]. [sensitive content hidden] is insightful and always demonstrates a great knowledge of analytics for the previous months data. [sensitive content hidden] always offers help and support with any concerns for that month in review and provides tremendous knowledge of the product itself and updates me with anything that is relevant about courses, campaigns and new products. [sensitive content hidden] customer service at meetings is carried out with a high level of professionalism and thought that allows for great feedback in a friendly and personable way. I couldn't recommend [sensitive content hidden] enough and thank him for all his help, guidance and support since I took over the role as admin for [sensitive content hidden]

PROS

All features are brilliantly impactful. From a Users point of view - the course videos are short and concise and full of key detail. The quizzes test knowledge and comprehension which is key and a great addition over the past two/three months.From an Admin point of view, the analytics features are great. The visuals and reporting are of great quality. The Managed Service and reports are great to gather an overview. The data within the courses section and campaigns gives me data to create reports myself for the company and feedback to managers and directors. Support from the LIVE Customer Chat is efficient and informative and all questions I have asked over the months have been answered in a timely and knowledgeable manner.

CONS

Nothing. I'm very pleased with all aspects of the product.

Excellent product by excellent people

Really happy with the experience overall. The Phishing training sessions are short, interesting, and informative, and the Phishing test is really impressive, and gives us an insight into how our staff are performing from an Information Security viewpoint.

PROS

It's really easy to use, the UI is nice, and the support from the staff is excellent.

CONS

Was a little tricky to set up at first, that but was mainly down to inexperience on our part, not because of Phishing Tackle itself.

Phishing Tackle is a Cybersecurity essential

It has been a pleasure to use since day one, and has lowered our attack surface considerably whilst pretty much running itself and delivering quality training to our staff. We're so impressed with the results that we're now planning to deploy to our associated representatives and their staff.

PROS

Phishing Tackle has taken our users from being hardly aware of cybersecurity risks to a crack team of individuals that are constantly on the lookout for dodgy emails that try and bring our network down. Being a high-risk target, the software has given management and IT the confidence that we've got the front-line covered. Reporting is easy to understand and integrates seamlessly into our Azure AD environment, and the regular overview calls with [sensitive content hidden] give us a great insight into how we're performing and how we can customise the training modules to suit our needs.

CONS

There were a few nuances to setting up Phishing Tackle, but these were legitimate security hurdles within the Azure environment that needed to be overcome to allow the software to do its thing. It would actually have been worrying from a security point of view if it was too easy, and we received quick and efficient help from the support team to get us up and running.

Effective Simulated Email Training and Analytics

The support and managed service level from their team has been excellent. They devoted significant time to working to resolve some technical issues that involved a third-party email security provider blocking simulated emails and email tracking, which we very much appreciated.

PROS

Setup and customer support teams have been excellent. The product performs well at simulated email campaigns and associated tracking of user interaction activity. Training topics are quite varied and provide coverage on many key topics.

CONS

Some of the back-end navigation is a bit of a challenge to pick up, but this is mostly a function of the necessarily evils of integration with Microsoft, so I'm not sure there is much to be done here.

Really great product with many uses

Really great product, great to bundle along with other services.

PROS

The customisation is limitless, and the user training portal has given us additional revenue streams as a training provider for bespoke customer solutions.

CONS

There are sometimes weird timing issues and sometimes the emails can be easily spotted after a number of uses due to the short list of fake URL's used.

I'd give 10 stars if I could!!

To fill the gap in InfoSec training and testing of staff base with regards how prone they may be to fall victim of phishing.

PROS

Very easy to use, great interactive GUI with a plethora of customisable options for campaigns, training and reports.

CONS

Nothing. As above, the platform satisfies all of our business and user needs.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

Fantastic onboarding process from start to finish. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] gave a very informative Demo, with great product knowledge, which felt like a natural conversation as opposed to a hard sell, followed up with diligent support through out the trial and purchase phases. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] gave an inspirational and in-depth onboarding call to ensure we get the most from the platform, covering all aspects whilst going above and beyond, extending the scheduled call to make sure everything was covered and I was happy with every aspect. The platform has everything that the business needs and matches the services offered from all alternative vendors but at a fraction of the cost. I would recommend PhishingTackle above all other vendors to any friend, colleague or associate!!

Effective and user-friendly simulated phishing platform

As an MSSP, this product ties in nicely with our portfolio and we aim to increase our use of this internally to ensure that our staff are constantly vigilant of phishing attacks.

PROS

The set-up of campaigns is easy and user friendly with a reasonable wealth of templates to choose from. Reports are very detailed and provide use-able insight into click-rate trends. The ability to add more email addresses/clients without needing to procure licenses is very useful.

CONS

The initial whitelisting guidance could do with recommending multiple/best practice whitelisting measures as we have had to add further measures later down the line to avoid Exchange Online Protection. I think the training course function would benefit greatly from having some quiz templates to offer guidance around what can be made with the quiz master.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your great feedback, we are continuously updating our whitelisting documentation to keep up with the constant changes from email providers. The quiz master is an incredibly comprehensive tool, so we'll ensure we make even more examples available to help leverage that power.

Outstanding security awareness and training tool

Phishing Tackle has helped educate our staff in IT security, the continual testing and training means employees are more conscious of IT security compared with yearly coursework.

PROS

Phishing tackle has been a great addition to our IT security suite. The setup and integration was straightforward . Phishing tackle provide an excellent support portal which addresses any questions we have had. Along with outstanding account management, sales engagement and customer support, overall it has been a very positive experience and I would highly commend this company for how well they look after customers. Both the phishing simulation tests and training have worked well within our company. Keeping security awareness levels across all employees is key in any business. Continual testing and training has improved our security posture and helped our employees within their work and home lives. The automation of testing and training with little impact to IT workloads has been a real benefit to our business.

CONS

This is a minor issue but we decided to issue our own training reminders as we couldn't quite get our logo's and images to not be blocked by Outlook as the image is coming from an external site, it led to our staff thinking the email was not from IT. A really minor issue.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

Several customers of another security product we use within our company highly recommended Phishing Tackle. Once we saw the product and completed a proof of concept it addressed all our requirements and more.

Excellent, inexpensive yet essential product

Love the product, its an essential product now and progress in user training can be seen clearly. The price for a managed service is unbelievable and monthly account reviews are useful. Its a must-have for all internet enabled companies.

PROS

Fully Managed service for the less than the price of KnowB4 unmanaged service. Easy to use and good reporting. Less training videos than KB4 but significantly cheaper and content is being added sufficiently fast for there to be minimal repetition.

CONS

Outlook plugin sometimes crashes AD user sync is not fully able to sync correctly. IE employees who have left are not deleted automatically so must be manually managed.

Phishing Tackle Review

Phishing Tackle has been instrumental in improving the business's overall ability to identify phishing emails as well as increasing overall security awareness. The managed service approach ensures that the service is very light touch for admin staff.

PROS

The service provides an excellent way on increasing security awareness for our users. The phishing campaigns really focus our staff's attention and has increased engagement significantly. The monthly security training videos are short and to the point, helping to maintain that level of engagement while delivering useful information. This is all done at a very cost effective level.

CONS

I haven't seen any real downsides of the service, it does exactly what we need.

Reason for choosing Phishing Tackle

PROS

There's a good library of campaigns so you can get up and running easily. There's the alarm functionality to point out to users what warning signs to look out for and train.

CONS

Getting started with GSuite wasn't as straight forward as I would have liked. Support were great, but the additional steps to make the campaigns realistic in GMail should have been made more obvious?

Phishing Tackle Review

Overall it has been a revelation to work with the staff at Phishing Tackle, and I am very picky. The help and assistance has been nothing short of excellent. This product was recommended by a well established security company, and it has been well founded.

PROS

It's clean well thought out design. Easily implemented, with good, clear and informative help documents.

CONS
