Game changing, must have anti phishing software for affordable price

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company had seen an exponential increase in the number of phishing emails getting to people's inboxes. We implemented the strictest security policies possible with Microsoft Defender, wrote over a dozen Exchange rules to catch phishing emails, & more but it did not stop the increase in phishing emails which led us to search for a new anti phishing solution. Harmony had the best reviews & within a day of activating it we could see why as the phishign emails stopped. Overally we have seen a 94% decrease in phishing emails & all that was for an extremely affordable cost. Harmony has been a great investment that makes us safer & reduces the amount of time responding to phishing emails.
