“A powerful email threat analysis and response tool to automate social engineering prevention, control and management”

5.0
Sep 18, 2025
The Phisher platform is exceptional for managing and mitigating the numerous phishing emails received by the users, because when users reported the email using the "Phish alert button" the Phisher immediately analyse the message and classify it as threat or spam or clean. This give the possibility to create an action and reply to the user who reported the email giving the result of analisys and improve their awareness on how recognise and spot a threats. Futhermore, with the integration with others plarform is possible to eliminate the similar email and prevent other users from falling for phishing or scams. The reporting of identical email by users allow maximun scams to be quickly identified and blocked. Acting as a SOAR Phisher is a valid aid in the management of phishing email, every day much more sofisticated, and allow detection and prevention in the day by day activities. Phisher is an AI paltform, which continuosly learns and improves in identifying threats, this help to protect the company from external attacks. With the new feature PhishRIP integrated with Microsoft 365 is possible to create a query in order to manage massive phishing campaigns and quarantine all unread messages directly in mail server avoiding risks and threats.

“Limited Guidance on Platform Usage and Product Evolution Reported by Users”

3.0
Nov 10, 2025
whilst support is acknowledged quickly , the responses have often failed to resolve issues. Little support with regards usage of the platform and evolving our use of the products purchased. Content is good and has landed well with users - chameleon and inside man remain favours.

quality of training content

Like

User interface is very easy to navigate and keep organized, search features are very easy to use and find what information you are looking for, automated response and manual responses are very good at working.

Dislike

The weakness is on new phishing email using QR code The difficulty to analysing malicious attachment without using licensed Virustotal

Dislike

security assessment - poorly worded questions and lack of understanding on responses.

Dislike

Its AI scoring can be very off at times with the AI summaries for the scoring being essentially useless at times. New features that are introduced are nice but lack some testing before they can reach full functionality. Wish pages would update quicker when making changes as sometimes you have to click off and come back for page to update.
