Great security awareness tool, great analysis.

5.0 last year

Comments: Because PhishingBox is preventing our employees from falling into the habit of clicking on spam emails, our company is less vulnerable to real-life phishing emails. By sending phishing emails on a regular basis, PhishingBox allows us to evaluate our security training programs while also allowing our user base to keep a secure way to viewing their emails. We profit from managing and directing testing when and how we need to since PhishingBox offers a campaign design engine that provides incredibly fine grained control over practically every area.

Pros:

The best aspect of PhishingBox is that emails can be written or changed from an existing template; straight out of the box, PhishingBox provides you with a plethora of templates to work with; using these templates, I was able to compose up to a year's worth of phishing evidence in only 40 minutes. I like how we can load campaigns with many templates and categorize them depending on the various departments we have, as well as design unique features to ensure people see all test and sender information. PhishingBox is very helpful to our firm because of its excellent analytics; after each campaign, we evaluate the data, and PhishingBox informs us in an instant what our trend is.

Cons:

The disadvantage is that it is not particularly obvious or transparent in a way that allows you to ship rapidly, and the shipping procedure becomes cumbersome. Sizing photographs when building custom components may be difficult, but with a few modifications, you'll be well on your way to getting it exactly right. Perhaps a better option would be to preview bespoke photos. A wish list item for me is additional templates; having a diverse set of templates reduces the likelihood of a single user seeing the same one twice, and having more templates keeps our awareness up.

PhishingBox is an excellent tool for Security Consulting.

5.0 last year

Comments: Achieving information security is critical to our company's success. PhishingBox overcomes the problem of employees clicking on harmful, fraudulent, or phishing emails by training them to recognize which emails are secure and which should be reported instead. PhishingBox always adds significant value by assisting all of our clients in identifying, reporting, and stopping phishing attempts, which continue to be one of the most common methods attackers breach network perimeters.

Pros:

Keeping information private is critical for any organization; the UI for designing a phishing campaign is highly user-friendly, and it's particularly wonderful to be able to conduct a campaign for an extended length of time to prevent employees from revealing the fact that they got a phishing email. I particularly enjoy how you can plan training for people who fell for it and track their progress. I've also utilized the management reports to illustrate progress between campaigns to business owners. The pre-existing templates for phishing emails are fantastic, and the classes they give to assist teach personnel on phishing are also fantastic.

Cons:

I'd like to see more templates for the programs our firm utilizes, such as Microsoft Azure and Atlassian; some of the reporting tools might be tough to find out the particular facts we need. However, after experimenting with a few different types, we typically found what we were searching for. We have discovered a few flaws in the platform, but PhishingBox support is very quick and devoted to make the platform function for their clients in all conditions.

PhishingBox: Fortifying Defenses, Empowering Security

5.0 last year

Comments: PhishingBox has been instrumental in addressing security challenges in my work. By regularly conducting phishing simulations, I've been able to educate and train employees on the dangers of phishing attacks. The platform's reporting and analytics have helped identify areas where additional training is needed, allowing us to strengthen our organization's overall security posture. The ability to proactively identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities has been a significant benefit, ultimately reducing the risk of successful phishing attacks and data breaches.

Pros:

What I like the most about PhishingBox is its user-friendly interface and intuitive campaign creation process. The platform provides a wide range of customizable phishing templates, making it easy to create realistic and targeted campaigns. Additionally, the ability to track and analyze the results of each campaign is incredibly valuable. The detailed reports and analytics provide insightful data on employee behavior and susceptibility to phishing attacks, allowing for targeted training and awareness efforts.

Cons:

While PhishingBox is a great tool overall, there are a few aspects that I find could be improved. One area for enhancement is the template library. Although there are a variety of templates available, it would be beneficial to have more industry-specific and up-to-date templates to better mimic real-world phishing scenarios. Additionally, enhancing the customization options for emails and landing pages would further enhance the realism and effectiveness of the campaigns.

A solution to phishing scams.

5.0 last year

Comments: We used PhishingBox to train our small team and to assess their knowledge of phishing scams. I must confess, I was a bit skeptical of this software before we used it. After the training, I was impressed with what we achieved. Everyone should use this software.

Pros:

The best things about PhishingBox are:(1) It has a lovely interface and that helps users to have a seamless experience with this software.(2) It offered an immersive and extensive course on identifying and avoiding real cyber threats. My team and I learnt a lot while using this software.(3) They have enough templates that we could choose from.(4) Management can easily reach people for follow-up training (5) It's not expensive and can be used by small business owners.

Cons:

The knowledge gained from using this software has prevented us from being victims of some email scams in the past few months. So, there's nothing to dislike about this software. It's a lifesaver!

An All-in-one and Very Cost-effective Security Solution

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: PhishingBox has exceeded our expectations. It was easy to set up and run realistic phishing tests with pleasing results in bettering our employees' awareness of how to look out for and respond to security threats.

Pros:

This software is very effective, easy-to-use security awareness training and threat protection platform. Its overall cost-effectiveness and automation make it impressive to see how we can reduce the risk and achieve our cybersecurity goals with least manual intervention. We didn't used the real-time protection features but awareness training program is overall is the best feature of this software.

Cons:

The not-so-occasional inability to further customize an option is a bit vexing for the more advanced user, but again, a very minor point that takes little away from the overall utility of the software.

Best Cyber Security Tool

5.0 last year

Pros:

The initial configuration procedure is notable for its simplicity and expediency, which is enabled by a collection of accessible and basic options that prove to be straightforward and practical to navigate. Notably, this arrangement incorporates all significant elements, allowing for a complete source of essential information, which is then presented in a well-structured and clear manner, resulting in a visually appealing and easily comprehensible output.

Cons:

There isn't much to say because the general performance of the system is outstanding. However, it would be excellent if the system could detect and remediate any vulnerabilities according to user modes, hence boosting security and providing a more comprehensive protection experience.

Cons:

Nothing much to say, as everything works fairly well. But it's better if it can scan user mode vulnerabilities as well.

I use Phishing Box to perform SE tests for a multitude of clients and it works well.

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

I like the template editor and the ease of adding targets to the application. Scheduling of tests is very simple.

Cons:

The reporting features are basic at best and do not allow for comparing multiple tests or customizing of the presentation without pulling down the results in CSV and doing it in a 3rd party app. The ability to create USB bait sticks is still rudimentary and doesn't work most of the time.

Purchased and used without a lot of effort and it works great.

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Many templates to use as is or customize as you like. Mostly easy to set up and use. Fairly easy to create new forms as well.

Cons:

Some of the templates are confusing, i.e. which is a link, which is a download, which is a form, etc. We have frequent personnel turnover, the only way for us to handle that is delete the entire user database and upload a new one. We lose history when we do that.
