Hoxhunt reviews

The spoof phishing emails are very convincing, and it really does encourage employees to carefully review each mail before clicking anything.

No complaints really. If I had to pick nits, the icon for reporting spoof emails is kind of small in the Gmail suite (a restriction of GSuite more than Hoxhunt)

Hoxhunt is a perfect security awareness increasing tool, sending users authentic-looking, but phishing emails, which require immediate actions. The most complicated thing is that emails content can be quite closer to your current situation (e.g. you will have a business trip in couple of days and suddenly receive hotel's cancellation, which was booked for you). So it's not that simple to correctly distinct what is true.

Sometimes it can be so "real", so your blood pressure rises. "Your car on corporate parking has been scratched", "You need to pay an additional fee" and so forth.

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.

I like that this program trains us against threats, in a safe simulated environment. It moves emails that seem fishy to a different folder, so it makes you aware that something may be risky with it.

Some of the training modules that pop up after reporting an email don't always seem relevant to the reported email. Maybe I just didn't understand what the training was for.

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.

The platform is user-friendly, and offers really engaging and personalized training experiences. It’s overall a powerful tool for strengthening a company's cybersecurity posture by turning employees into a first line of defense against phishing and other social engineering attacks.

What can come up as cons, is that with time, some of the emails coming in disguise from Hoxhunt for simulating phishing get unnoticed by the employee. Besides, if employees are exposed to phishing simulations too frequently, they might start recognizing the patterns of these simulations without really learning to apply the skills in real-world scenarios.

Interacting with Hoxhunt doesn't feel like a duty. Reporting mails that you think might be suspicious or part of a training becomes natural activity and gaining ranks, seeing scoreboards makes it even better.

I haven't had any bad experiences with Hoxhunt. It plays its role perfectly - it teaches and entertains.

We use Hoxhunt for its simulated phishing email service. They'll send fake phishing emails to me and my coworkers to train us to recognize and thwart the real deal. It's a lot of fun and makes me actually want to check my email!

I don't really engage with hoxhunt often or deeply - I'm just on the user side for the phishing emails, which come in irregularly, roughly once a month (as intended, to avoid people from getting to expect these and spoiling the training). So I'm not really in a position to have a negative opinion of any aspect of hoxhunt

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.

I love using the product. It greatly assists in our awareness of phishing scams and other cyber criminal activities. It give you real life example in a live environment which is great. It teaches one to be ever observant as malicious email can arrive at any time. It teaches one a great deal on how to protect oneself and the company.

I paused the trainings during my holidays but it continued to send them and marked that I had missed the emails which was not the came. All other aspects were great.

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

lack of localization.. sometime is very obvius

HoxHunt has made me much more aware of the messages coming into my inbox.
It becomes very easy to ignore red flags when you are dealing with dozens of messages every day, but knowing that I am regularly being monitored for this has helped me stay on point! I love the interface and it is so incredibly user friendly.

Honestly, nothing, I love the program. Having the icon directly on my inbox is the biggest seller for me. So useful!

It's a very interesting product. It is a great way for spreading awareness for cybersecurity and other IT related threats. Very user friendly and like a game to earn stars user is extra caution and alert for the threats.

If there would be rewards attached to reaching a milestone or tests that users will be more alert and responsive towards learning and understanding.

It keeps me on my toes to make sure I'm not clicking on phishing emails.

When I'm out, I miss some and it ends my streak.

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 explanations are exceptionally visual and easy to get

Nothing I would think of mentioning. I just like this product

I love the challenges and the feel of progression

Not enough games and interactive things outside of the training emails

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

NOTHING, ITS A GREAT SYSTEM THAT EVERYONE GETS KNOWLEDGE FROM

Use of the product feels like a game, particularly how one ranks against their peers!

Given the interactivity, there is nothing i would change in the product

The user-friendly interface makes it easy for employees to navigate

Can't think of anything. Should have an automatic difficulty level that increases the longer you use it.
