Phishing education made easy
This is a tool like no other, phishing education is a must for every organization. We also test new employees for phishing and the benefit is they learn to be wary of suspecting emails, right before their ignorance about this security topic becomes a threat for the entire company.
Pros
I like the fact this tool allows you to teach people how to spot a phishing e-mail. It's a very effective tool for training the weakest security link in the organization, the human factor.
Cons
Whilst being easy to use and very straightforward, you get a sense that it might be overpriced. Unless your organization is mid-to-large in size, small businesses might prioritize other expenses before investing in a license for the PhishMe Simulator.

One stop for reporting and analyzing Phishing emails
Very pleased. It helped save several man hours for our analysts who regularly monitor, investigate and respond to malicious email campaigns reported by the end users
Pros
Easy to use interface and integration with 3rd party threat intelligence tools for incident triage and response. Email response to reporters with just few clicks and the bulk response options.
Cons
Not much to say in this area. The interface could be improved a little for the response times. When integrated with Proofpoint and run bulk searches it takes quite a bit of time to return the results

Extra protection for peace of mind
Overall we've had a great experience with Cofense. In spite of the growing pains, their support team is quick to respond, polite, professional, and diligently work to find a resolution.
Pros
Phishing emails are continually evolving and often times the first line of email scanners will miss a phishing emails. Cofense provides an additional layer of security by scanning emails again to catch malicious emails that make it through the initial filters.
Cons
Cofense appears to be experiencing growing pains. We've had several hours of scanner downtime when their servers get overloaded, training emails that fail to send, or alerts / reports that stop working for no apparent reason.
