Alternatives Considered
Cofense LMS was received to us a bundled pack of Cofense LMS, Cofense Traiage, Cofense Vision and Cofense Reporter. The overall phishing and protection suite by Cofense is super effective to tackle and improve the phishing campaigns and mitigate the on going attacks. Other LMS are available in the market as a standalone option but LMS along with the other products from the Cofense suite makes it a great option to choose.

Most online LMS systems work really well to track and manage training that the system is delivering. However, most systems are not very good at managing training requirements which are delivered outside of the system. For example, First Aid training, or license requirements are accomplished through third party. SmarterU was the only system we evaluation that was able to track these items with the ability to monitor the renew dates properly.
