IRONSCALES: Powerful Email Security Add-on
What do you like best about the product?
I love that IRONSCALES is an incredibly powerful tool that organizes all my company's emails, protecting us against phishing, spam, or identity theft strategies. The tool effectively adapts to all new technologies used by attackers, ensuring continuous protection. I greatly value its ability to verify email header information and the fact that it is supported by an active user community, which allows for efficient reporting of suspicious or problematic emails. This is reflected in a faster and more effective response to incidents through its AI (Themis). Additionally, IRONSCALES is complementary to Office 365, enhancing email security and training for internal users. The initial setup is very intuitive and is appreciated by my technical team for the support in data management. Without a doubt, IRONSCALES is a product I would confidently recommend, which is reflected in giving it a rating of 10 in terms of likelihood of recommendation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration of buttons in Google and Microsoft 365 could be improved, as it is currently done manually. It would be interesting to have a more automatic way to add these options. Additionally, there is a mention of a problem with the file that does not follow instructions when proceeding directly from the applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IRONSCALES helps me protect against phishing, spam, and identity spoofing.
Has effectively combined AI detection with human expertise to improve phishing response
What is our primary use case?
The main use cases for IRONSCALES demonstrate its artificial intelligence capabilities because it utilizes AI to detect phishing and has specialized engines for detecting both phishing and spam, making it very efficient at these tasks.
How has it helped my organization?
The automated incident response helps my security team by automating many tasks that only require console review to check incidents. If they notice something suspicious or potential AI false positives, these cases are minimal.
For example, if people in the organization receive 50 suspicious emails in a day that are detected by IRONSCALES, maybe one or two might be false positives. The interesting aspect is that with the intervention of the security analyst's human knowledge, they can contribute to this intelligence. It creates a merger of AI intelligence and human intelligence where the model is continuously learning.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate most about IRONSCALES is that it detects not only actual phishing attempts but also potential preliminary phases of phishing. Some attackers plan their strategy by sending non-offensive emails designed to capture users' attention. IRONSCALES excels at analyzing the intention, not just the content itself, but the sender's attempt to gain user attention. When attackers employ social engineering and prepare their real attack, IRONSCALES effectively detects these intentions. This is a particularly valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
There are areas that could be improved with this product. Regarding the Spanish language awareness training, while they are producing good content, it appears to be initially produced in English and then translated to Spanish. Though this isn't problematic for our users, the content could be updated more frequently.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have ongoing experience using IRONSCALES.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their technical support as very good, as they respond promptly when my team opens a ticket.

What do you like best about the product?
I think what we like most about Ironscales is the ease of setup. After a 10-minute phone call, it was already finding things in our users' mailboxes. Ironscales is so easy to use, just three buttons: Spam, Phishing, or Safe. It doesn't get any easier than that. Add in SPF hosting, DMARC, and user training, and you have a complete email security arsenal. Their customer support and integration team has been great to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our only minor gripe (that has a huge impact on our environment is the lack of comprehensive user access roles. e.g. if you want an analyst to remediate the issue and create phishing/training, you would have to give the user the admin role since someone with the Phishing/Training Role can't remediate and vice versa.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We purchased Ironscales to get away from an antiquated email security platform that was rule based and required hrs dailing to mantian and remediate email

Staff appreciates the transparency of emails that are quarantined. Has reduced administrative overhead for IT staff. Integrated well with existing Office 365 services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the clustering of incidents wraps legitimate email into one, however that is more a reflection of the types of attacks and mostly impacts encrypted email platforms and services like Paypal, DocuSign, and Adobe Sign. While sometimes a hassle it is good to get the visibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved the multiple console problems of dealing with both phishing and spam. Has increased our visibility and time to respond.
