Considered Both Products	Cofense shahul hameed sheik mohammed in Information Technology at KOC (Oil & Energy, 10,001+ employees) Chose Cofense PhishMe Cofense phishing simulation product is one of the best security awareness solutions that our security team has tested. The product is feature-rich and easy to navigate. Awareness templates are numerous to select from and in multiple languages, which is a big plus. Campaign … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cofense PhishMe Cofense PhishMe has a more robust offering and better pricing structure. We used Wombat prior to them being acquired by Proofpoint. Incentivized Helpful?

Mike Kelley CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) in Information Technology at EW Scripps (Broadcast Media, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because we already use their email gateway. The combination of these two are very powerful! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training I think that Proofpoint Security Awareness Training pricing is one of the main reasons that we went with them. We only have the lowest tier, and it does a pretty good job for what we pay. We are using Proofpoint for our email security solution, so we ended up saving some money … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training The decision was based on the ease of use and the better security awareness material at Proofpoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training At the time we selected Proofpoint (Wombat) they appeared to have the best solution. They have a simple to use interface and the phishing platform was quite impressive. However, over time I have found that their training catalog is not as large as it could be. KnowBe4 has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We already used ProofPoint so we thought it would be a better fit. The other products may have looked better but pricing was good. Do not increase pricing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training All three products have the pros and cons. Since we use other Proofpoint products, TAP, TRAP, etc. the integration with PSAT is much better. The other products do not integrate with TRAP nearly as well as PSAT. Incentivized Helpful?
