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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

lack of localization.. sometime is very obvius

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.

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

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.

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.

A fun way to learn and keep updated on IT security issues.

More options (than twice yearly) to stop Hoxhunt challenges while having days off might be useful.

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.

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

Sometimes, their test emails come at bad times.

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

I love identifying fake/phishing emails & seeing my progress. It makes the process fun and rewarding to see my positive streak in picking up these simulated emails.

I don't see any Cons as yet with the application.

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.

Hoxhunt helps you to identify what type of scam emails you will get and how to identify these type of emails such as unusual links.

The only thing I least like about Hoxhunt is while you are in training, when it sends you emails to see if you report it or not, sometimes the emails look genuine and that's where it can catch you out.

Hoxhunt is integrated into my inbox and is very easy to use and navigate. The content is also easy to digest and well written.

I was initially confused on how to access my portal and some early simulation emails were sent straight to Junk.

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

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

I love the challenges and the feel of progression

Not enough games and interactive things outside of the training emails

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.
