What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is like a training center. There isn't really a way to measure stability in that sense. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. You add more people or employees, et cetera.

How are customer service and support?

We did not ask for support for this solution. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. I do not use the service for this solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

It takes, at a maximum, one hour, to deploy everything.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There are some fees that a company will need to pay. It's a yearly subscription as well. 

What other advice do I have?

As we are using the cloud deployment model, it is always the latest version. It's constantly updated for us by Sophos. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's a pretty good solution.

Easy to integrate, detailed reports, and high level support
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to integrate because it is on the cloud, we have been able to limit users to only accessing the Sophos platform by modifying the firewall and Sophos platform settings, and the dashboard gives us detailed reports allowing us to be able to manage better."
  • "The security of the solution could improve."

What is our primary use case?

Sophos Phish Threat product is the solution we integrated into our infrastructure when I became the Chief Information Security Officer. It is a good solution because it is used for sensitizing our staff to the risk linked to information security. Additionally, we measure and confirm the efficiency of staff after awareness campaigns. If they are not fully aware then they have to complete the training again.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to integrate because it is on the cloud. We have been able to limit users to only accessing the Sophos platform by modifying the firewall and Sophos platform settings. The dashboard gives us detailed reports allowing us to be able to manage better.

What needs improvement?

The security of the solution could improve.

For how long have I used the solution?

How are customer service and technical support?

The support for Sophos is very good. They are known for provided high-level support. Sophos acquired Cyberoam and other solutions which included their staff. I have experience with the Cyberoam technical team and they are quick to respond and now Sophos is benefiting from this support.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is easy and it took us three weeks. We integrated the solution into our infrastructure to share our Active Directory with the platform. We enroll users to have the add-on on their Outlook mailing clients.

What about the implementation team?

We use two technical consultants to do the implementation and maintenance of Sophos Phish Threat.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is a license required for this solution and the cost depends on the number of users.

What other advice do I have?

This solution has helps us to confirm the efficiency of the awareness of employees. This is achieved by launching the phishing simulation just after the awareness campaign.

I rate Sophos Phish Threat a nine out of ten.
