Short implementation, great dashboard that allows you to easily see phishes being blocked. Pricing model is a no brainer as you only pay per phish caught up to the cap in the contract. Has been a great experience since we implemented a year ago.

There is nothing specific to dislike in the product, It performs core functions well with minimum maintenance and oversight. While branding is possible the UI is dated.
