It's great and I'm happy my coworkers enjoy and share what they learn about phishing.

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.

Definitely paying more attention to cybersecurity with email now than ever before.

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.

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

Very good

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.

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!

At 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.

All in all, I personally learned about a bunch of different types of attacks. The good thing about this is that you not only learn about the attack itself, but also how to prepare for the attacks.

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.

Hoxhunt provides a valuable and effective cybersecurity training solution for organizations. Its interactive approach to simulated phishing attacks and personalized feedback help users develop a stronger awareness of cybersecurity threats.

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.

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.

The fact that it constantly keeps you on your toes and the "competition" with your colleagues in the ranking list.

Sometimes, the Outlook plugin does not always work - it give an error (unexpected error) or I have to generate links to open Hoxhunt dashboard, because it (the plugin redirect) is not supported by all browsers.

My overall experience has been great. i have enjoyed the trainings provided and greatly improved my cyber awareness.

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.

Its a useful tool that will make everyone more aware of the dangers that lie from people trying to breach

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

Keeping everyone aware of what can happen if you expose the company to potential hackers is a very beneficial. Money lost if an attack occurs is substantial for a company of our size.

The software makes you aware of how easy it can be for a hacker to access your system if you're not careful. It teaches you what to look for when you receive a suspicious email so that you don't compromise your companies system by inadvertently clicking on a link. I like how the training emails are disguised as real emails (very sneaky). They keep you alert to potential attacks.

No cons that I can see. There have been a few emails which were so realistic that I clicked on the links only to be alerted to the fact that it was a training email (like I said above, very sneaky). Those make me a feel a little discourage that I was fooled into believing that it was real. But at the same time, those are a great opportunity to learn and can be a real eyeopener.

Hoxhunt training and outlook plugin + smartly created simulated threats create a seamless learning and awareness package for companies who want to not only train, but refresh those perishable skills often. I think that's where Hoxhunt shines - it integrates to Outlook and has some gamified experience and leaderboards to keep the employees motivated to participate.

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.

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.

A very simple to use product provided by my organisation - it has simulated many interesting and surprising phishing attempts which always keeps you thinking and on your toes

none - originally the emails they sent to test you had to manually removed and you got stuck on the dashboard. However, these issues have been corrected in recent updates.

Easy to use the software and report any phishing & attacks to internal security organisation, and it has really added my awareness of threat attacks / being more carefully when reading emails and not opening unclear links before checking within Hoxhunt

No cons to mention, Hoxhunt is working very well

This is a nice tool to educate the employees how to stay away from spam & phishing attacks. Some mails are so convincing that if people are not careful, they will click on the risky links which can then in background wreak havoc on the system. The tool has a convenient interface & regular way for sending mails in a way which makes employee think if this mail is genuine or not. And while doing so the employee is gaining knowledge as well as the system is totally safe.

Nothing annoying about this tool. I sometimes see some slowness while the dashboard opens up and takes us through the learnings but its tolerable.

Using Hoxhunt makes my work more secure and free of phishing emails.

I like the process of using Hoxhunt every time I receive a suspicious email, verifying it first before clicking on any links attached to it.

I can honestly say that I have no dislike for Hoxhunt.

The system used to teach how to handle suspicious emails is very effective for the end users, and the simulated email threads are very useful to learn how to prevent attacks

I do not have any specific issue to be reported in this sense

The software is only as good as the data/languages provided from the ones who set it up for a company. Even Tieto Austria as a part of an English speaking company, more activities should be provided in German, as still most of the our mails are written in German. So it's easy for me to detect Hoxhunt messages, as I always get suspicious, when I receive English mails.

The know how is provided step by step without getting the feeling that you actively learn something. The points, stars and achievements provide a "gaming" environment, with nice challenges.

I really see no need to criticize the solution - using it is a kind of fun for me.

My overall experience is good and satisfying. The idea of creating awareness through such simulations gives a feel like we are playing some game and it motivates us to play more.

The simulated email educates us to understand and differentiate actual threats.

Sometimes, it feels like the simulated emails are revealing and easy to identify. In my opinion, it is mainly because of the topics chosen.

Like the challenges, testing emails that get sent. I like being able to have suspicious e-mails checked so quickly.

Easy to use and explains the risks thoroughly

I don't have anything to add really, everything is good.

Overall Hoxhunt has caused my team and I to be paranoid (in a good way) about suspicious emails. It's fun and interactive and integrates really well in our Outlook app. All we need to do is click a button to check if the email is part of Hoxhunt training or to report it as malicious, spam, or phishing.

Hoxhunt has trained me to be very cautious when opening emails from unknown senders. It's actually fun and very easy to use (one-click button to report). By sending examples to your real inbox, it's very effective in training users to be suspicious of malicious emails.

The dashboard will show you if you missed Hoxhunt emails or clicked on malicious emails, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't actually show you which email you missed.

Ease of use and educational benefits for people who may not be as tech savy

rewards program i feel like the company should incentivize keeping information safe

The software is user friendly, embedded in mailbox and efficient.

In few occasions there is a 5-10 seconds lagging between the process steps.

Scenario-based learning with an appropriate amount of education and context make HoxHunt actually useful-- the gamification and badges has also made security training feel remarkably pleasant and relevant.

I like how HoxHunt creates realistic emails that mimic phishing attacks and other kinds of malware in scenarios that actually would happen-- those are great opportunities to test my own understanding of security protocols and to educate myself on what makes an email suspicious.

I am overall very satisfied with the product but I have noticed an instance where a HoxHunt training email appeared to be sent to spam (which defeats the purpose).

Using Hoxhunt allows me to be more aware of cyber attacks. I have a strong feeling of being protected from attackers, knowing that Hoxhunt is installed on my laptop. I would never want to be the cause of a virus or worm infecting our systems.

I like to security coverage of Hoxhunt. The ability to protect me from viruses, or cyber attacks.

I have no Cons regarding this software. The software is an excellent safeguard feature.
