Hoxhunt Reviews

It's extremely easy to use and not manual setup needed for the user if implemented by an organization.
Simulated trainings can be sent to non opted-in users and easy instructions help them get enrolled.
Simulations ramp up to become very realistic, and even very knowledgeable users have to do double-takes.
Very short, non-intrusive, learning snippets for each simulation explain things like sense of urgency, how to check links and best practices well.
Users in my teams have over the past two years started reporting anything suspicious, and it's a big difference from before implementing Hoxhunt.

I think the training ceiling could be increased a bit to avoid having users instinctively report (expecting a simulation training) and treat an email as 'safe' if it turns out not to be a threat simulation.

Hoxhunt has given me more awareness about spam and junk emails and how they compromise our information, more than any other similar platform I have used. The feature I found most attractive is the simulated spam emails and how we get points when we identify and report the emails. It feels like I am playing a game but actually I am getting educated at the same time i get a sense of achievement when I unlock more and more levels.

I recently reported an actual spam email. The initial response was the status was unsure. I was told I might not get the result of that reporting but your team will do everything in the background. I was unsatisfied with it. It was the time I actually reported a spam email and I wanted to hear the results after the analysis.

What I like about the software is that it is intuitive to the process in your everyday use of Outlook / emails. There is not alot of steps you need to make. See something, say something etc..

Trickery - it's not necessarily bad, just that a couple times I feel like I was duped when either missing an email or deleted knowing it wasn't for me.

Hoxhunt offers training, knowledge bases, customisation, great UI and design, all kept simple and easy to use.

It is also relatively easy to implement.

The customer support is also helpful as you can also submit feature requests.

I use Hoxhunt about 2 times a day because of the email training and sometimes because of the built-in training within Hoxhunt.

All in all, it is a learning tool that is very easy to integrate because of all the features mentioned above.

Nothing in particular, maybe the leaderboard needs an overhaul, its a bit confusing.

There is a good mix of tests and information on what to do/not to do. Great leaderboard to see where you are with your peers and across the other businesses.

If you're on leave and miss a threat email it seems as though you have missed it because of not noticing the threat and counts against you. There should be a longer time frame to report the email.

Love the gamification of the platform. Leaderboards and levels make it fun to train everything cybersecurity.

Some of the training are obvious and very easy to detect.

I think it's a very useful tool for safety and for practicing in order to recognize alarm bells right away.

At the moment I have not found any flaws. In case I find one I will report it in the future.

As a user is a very nice way to add gamification for the thread learning

lack of localization.. sometime is very obvius

Hoxhunt is an exceptional platform for enhancing cybersecurity awareness. It effectively engages users through interactive training modules and simulated phishing attacks, making learning both fun and practical.

While Hoxhunt offers valuable cybersecurity training, some users might find the constant simulated phishing attacks disruptive to their workflow. Additionally, the frequent training notifications can be perceived as repetitive, potentially leading to training fatigue.

That it educates the employees so they can identify issues and report them accordingly.

That it doesnt suspect potential bad emails and we can possibly overlook them

I like the frequency of the "test" emails. I also appreciate the learning aspect of finding a hoxhunt email.

This is not a bad things, but I do not like how it can trick me. However that is good for the learning aspect of the platform.

Easy to report a suspicious email.
Some emails are very obvious to be fake but some have also been quite believable.
Nice to have some tips, and to be able to review my HoxHunt history.
Fun achievements.
A password challenge with useful tips.

I would wish for more frequent emails - it would also help remembering to set vacation mode when leaving for a longer period of time, and avoid lost progress due unreported messages.
Missing a feature: In our company, we have statistics per country, and I would appreciate to see more detailed information, not only success rate. There should be also statistics on failed emails with a separation between training emails where user has clicked on something, and where email was missed (as it disappears after some time).
Only one challenge available.

I love that Hoxhunt is always trying to trick me into opening dangerous emails. Now when I look at a suspicious email I think, "Not today Hoxhunt"

Sometimes sketchy emails get caught in my spam filter so it's more difficult to report them.

Its so simple and easy to use gives that little bit of extra protection against spam

there isnt really anything i dont like about it, its just a simple tool

They monitor our system to keep the company safe from hackers.

Sometimes, their test emails come at bad times.

The simulated threat attacks. They are actually hard to detect and keeps me learning new things about attacks.

There is nothing specific I can mention.

Fake phishing emails! Seeing those straight in my inbox made me much more vigilant

Sometimes micro trainings are a bit too... simple for me. But I'm biased, being a software developer with cybersecurity experience, so I do realize I'm not perfectly target audience for those.

I oddly love partaking in the Hoxhunt challenges - I love the competition aspect! It's also made me MUCH more aware of spam emails.

Sometimes the test phishing email are routed to my Spam folder, so I miss them and get behind my colleagues in the competition! (not a real con, but it's the only aspect I don't like - I'm too competitive).

The security training mails which help to identify possible threats is really very helpful

There is nothing that I didn't like, there are only pros to use this product

MAKES EVERYONE MORE AWARE SURROUNDING FAKE SCAN EMAILS WHICH COULD CAUSE VIRUS'S

NOTHING, ITS A GREAT SYSTEM THAT EVERYONE GETS KNOWLEDGE FROM

What I like most about Hoxhunt is how easy it is to report a suspicious email as either phishing or spam. When training emails on security are sent, it's nice that Hoxhunt provides descriptions of the threat and it a gamification interface. I wish I could share some of tests with my mother to help increase her knowledge of online protection!

I have nothing to add here, as I'm only on the user side of the service.

can set the "holidays" in which period have more time to report the simulation mails.

Only few training courses were available.
