Really helps ingrain the right email security mindset, without hassle
It's great and I'm happy my coworkers enjoy and share what they learn about phishing.
PROSIt'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.
CONSI 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.

Gamification of Security
Definitely paying more attention to cybersecurity with email now than ever before.
PROSInstant 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.
CONSDoesn't seem to do much about spam emails. Reporting them doesn't seem to get tracked.

Review of Security Features
Very good
PROSWhat 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..
CONSTrickery - 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.

Fun and Educative platform
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.
CONSI 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.

A True Believer
I like that having Hoxhunt for your business always keeps you on your toes. While I am constantly on the lookout for Hoxhunt training e-mails, that transitions to keeping our workplace safe from actually phishing attacks. Also, this transitions to keeping my personal e-mails safe from phishing attacks as I become more aware of what to look for. I also love the gamification as I am super competitive and don't want my streak to end!
CONSAt this point (Platinum, 14/17 achievements), I would like to see more of a challenge. More difficult scenarios, more content on the dashboard, an explanation as to how colleagues in my company have more stars than me for the month even though I haven't missed any. I listen to a Podcast called "Darknet Diaries" and he talks about penetration testing a lot. It would be cool to have trainings on what to look for in the office that may be "out of place" or what social engineering tricks bad guys use to get into physical spaces.
