Hoxhunt Reviews

Pros

It is easy to use, their phishing tests are seriously good and make users aware of how easy it is to fall for a mail that has basically copied the original. Always reviews the most important signals to look for, great overall training!

Cons

I'm not sure if the frequency of mails received is the same for everyone, i feel like some people get more mails than others what designs the competition a little bit unfair

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

The product gamifies the Security training of employees, and motivates them to learn more.

Cons

No real live videos- only animated pictures, this could be more modern reflecting real life situations better

Pros

I love how Hoxhunt gamifies the concept of phishing scams. It helps keep users aware of scams and does a great job showing users with only similar scores as you. I don't know all of the employees working at my company, but when I do see someone I know around my score, I screenshot it and send it to them. It makes for a good laugh and friendly competition in the workplace. We have even had moments in staff meetings laughing about how someone once again was excited to get an email, but ended up being hoxhunted.

Cons

I don't have complaints about Hoxhunt. I have submitted feedback on aspects I would like to see differently, and the company actually has changed the aspects I wasn't a big fan of. So at this moment and time, I just enjoy using Hoxhunt.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Instant feedback when a test message is either detected or followed by a user. I was trapped once but thankfully it was a linkedin related message I opened on a phone. BUSTED! Sends periodic realistic scam-type emails to see if you're paying attention. Quickly evaluates real spam and scam messages that you click the Hoxhunt button for in Outlook. Works seamlessly. Keeps track of your progress with an overall armor rating that people around you easily see when you get a message. Also people actively talk about catching test messages now keeping security on our minds between annual trainings or corporate reminders.

Cons

Doesn't seem to do much about spam emails. Reporting them doesn't seem to get tracked.

Pros

It's simple, engaging, real, regular and very user-friendly. I like the game-like graphics and very clear explanations of why such email is a scam.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about Hoxhunt... maybe the holiday mode is not always working properly (and it's important because you can easily loose points if you get a hoxhunt being out of office).

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Hoxhunt's engaging approach with realistic simulated phishing attacks stands out. It immerses users in real-world scenarios, providing personalized feedback to improve cybersecurity skills. The platform offers diverse training modules and resources, making it a comprehensive solution for organizations.

Cons

If users don't fully participate or treat the simulated phishing attacks as a game rather than a learning opportunity, the effectiveness of the training may be diminished. Additionally, while Hoxhunt provides valuable feedback and training, it may not completely eliminate the risk of successful phishing attacks, as attackers continually evolve their tactics.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

Explanation of security and phishing
Training spotting phishing and scam
Fun
Now I'm paranoid of every unusual email I receive

Cons

Dashboard takes time to find, I always forget where it is
Vacation mode still sends you emails sometimes

Pros

Simulated threats are really good. Trainings are easy to comprehend for even not so technical persons. Repetition of basics is good method to learn and keep awareness high to counter the real world threats.Hoxhunt add-in to Outlook works well and can be used as "no-brainer" check for any even slightly suspicious emails. If it's not training and still suspicious, then I would give it extra round of inspection and/or report to company IT.

Cons

I only recently found out that also my mobile Outlook app has the Hoxhunt plugin. I had skipped reporting some training mails before finding out that it can be also done in my mobile phone since I'm not always in front of computer.There may be limitations also on Outlook for Web - if that gets later added I would assess that then the coverage is spot on.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

the stars when i did the correct process and handled the suspicious email

Cons

all good nothing to be change it. is a goal to achive the correct management about the suspicious email.

Pros

report the emails is very easy and helpful

Pros

It's very simple to use and have a soft interface

Cons

There's nothing I didn't like. Everything right

Pros

As a user, I find myself very skilled in detecting treats, Hoxhunt made me fall a couple of times. The quality of the messages sent are excellent, it helps me to stay much more aware of the possible dangers in email messages. I like to see how I'm going in the rankings.

Cons

Nothing, the frequency of the messages, easy to use, is adequate.

Pros

The good thing about Hoxhunt is that its trying multiple ways to confuse you.
I mean sometime its easy to know that an email needs to be reported, but like I said sometimes its a very good made fraud. Cus of that I take more time to analyse incoming emails.
And after reporting fraud emails I like the little information texts to collect another star.

Cons

I really dont know what to write on this one here, but one time I reported the Email to hoxhunt and It was indeed a fraud. After I reported it and collected my stars, I pressed the link on the fake email to see whats gonna happen. I know it sounds silly in the first place, but Hoxhunt saved a "clicked email" on my account. That was a little bit annoying.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

The explanations are exceptionally visual and easy to get

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

How quick it is to report emails. The test threat emails are great practice.

Cons

Sometimes slow to open and not able to add to outlook app on phone.

Pros

I love the challenges and the feel of progression

Cons

Not enough games and interactive things outside of the training emails

Pros

That it is simple to use, not like other solutions provided by companies

Cons

Nothing at the moment, every time I have had to use Hoxhunt it has been very timely in response

Pros

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

Cons

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