Great way to gamify your security trainings and phishing awareness!
Create awareness throughout the whole org while not annoying employees with the same boring training over and over again. The way Hoxhunt gamifies this approach is just awesome and can be done everywhere at anytime. The invested time of 2-3 minutes per phishing test is much more acceptable than a 60 minute long training where focus easily shifts away.
PROSIt 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!
CONSI'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

Mimics real life threats to increase awareness
Overall it was a good experience. The timing of the simulated threat emails are also random so you cannot really find a pattern or predict when one is coming. It will definitely raise awareness in users what to look out for.. (Disclaimer: My review/opinion of this product is solely my own and does not represent the views/opinion of the company I work for)
PROSI really like how the software mimics real life techniques of attack and reinforcing the learning by presenting microtraining materials. The gamification (earning shields and badges) also adds to the interest to look out for this simulated threats. When you also flagged an actual threat, there is an option to send it for further analysis.
CONSNothing much to complain aside from the duration you need to act on a simulated threat. If you have not flagged it in like 3 days, it will be marked as missed. This happens when you are on a vacation and did not have access to emails.

PROSThe product gamifies the Security training of employees, and motivates them to learn more.
CONSNo real live videos- only animated pictures, this could be more modern reflecting real life situations better

Simply the best experience for training users
We use Hoxhunt to train end users on email phishing attacks and it's also used to tag spam emails. The product provides a great experience in a gamification manner, making it fun. It provides essential training to end users without them even knowing they are taking the training. So much fun.
PROSI love the experience this product gives end users. It is not intrusive at all and definitely hits the mark showing you examples of phishing and spam attacks.
CONSI think the product can provide additional training in other areas, project risk, consulting skills, etc.

Security training made fun!
By gamifying security training, Hoxhunt has created an excellent product that makes security training fun. Specifically, it has really helped me hone my skills when spotting dubious emails. In addition, you compete against your peers with a competitive leaderboard.
CONSIt would be good to receive some trivia on previously cyber attacks etc at other companies. Perhaps informational videos on why IT security is so important (but keep it fun)

A good software for learning
I am very happy using it and like to use it.
PROSIt gives me an opportunity to stay aware of threats and to train to fight against them. Reminding me of the threats I know and showing me new ones.
CONSIt can have a time limit on the training threat detection. So if i go to vacation and properly detect a threat simulation when I get back, it will treat it as missed. Hope it can integrate with a company calendar to fix that.

Thought I could not be fooled, learned a lot.
I always thought those how fall for phishing and other scam attempts was a little behind tech wise. But I learned a few new things, and most of all, many of my collogues learned a lot I thought maybe my collogues ought to know.
PROSThe real life tests. Hoxhunt creates scenarios that are extremely well put together and serves the knowledge you want increase very well
CONSNothing, there is really nothing to complain about user wise, I know nothing of price etc.

Hoxhunt-keeps you focused
The emails they test you with are very authentic looking so you really have to pay attention.
CONSSome of them are "too easy" maybe but still can be a challenge if you're busy and aren't reading over them before clicking on something.

TW Laramay Hoxhunt Review
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSNo 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.

Best way to improve your cybersecurity awareness
Its easy to use and definitely raises your awareness for phishing e-mails and other security threats. Would recommend for everyone.
PROSThe software uses a hands-on approach, allowing the user to make mistakes and then explaining how to avoid making similar mistakes. The point reward system provides a sense of achievement and also makes the process fun, allowing you to compare your progress with your colleagues within the company. I always considered myself strong, when it comes to e-mail security, but I must admit, that Hoxhunt managed to catch me off guard with their perfectly tailored e-mails.
CONSThere is nothing to dislike in this software. Sometimes, when you're out of office, you could miss an training e-mail or two, but I guess software does not get information on your absence. So the early bird gets the worm.

Good education tool for employees
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.
CONSNothing annoying about this tool. I sometimes see some slowness while the dashboard opens up and takes us through the learnings but its tolerable.

Great product for users on all skill levels
It is a great way to make employees of all skill levels aware of email threats.
PROSIt is integrated to Outlook as a plugin. Emails imitates real phishing mails very well. It is very easy to use. There is a point system including the Quiz to get more point so that you can compete with other departments.
CONSI am simply a user of the products. So I cannot tell about the implementation. I cannot come up with any cons or improvements.
Reasons for switching to Hoxhunt

One of the BEST security awareness software!
One thing I absolutely love about Hoxhunt is the fact that when they send you their version of a phishing email (don't worry the emails they send are safe) they explain how the email is a scam once it has been reported. And as a cherry on top, they give you gold stars for every phishing email you catch, and it puts you on a leaderboard between you and your coworkers.
CONSThe different types of Phishing are limited, all that needs to be improved is there has to be a bit more variety when it comes to what type of phishing email they send.

Hoxhunt phishing simulation feature
Fantastic tool for end user awareness. The weakest point in security are users, so, teaching them on how to handle and how to securely use IT devices is necessary.
PROSThe hoxhunt phising simulation is a great functionality that provides great phishing simulation. The phishings are really realiable and easy to be phished, which is very important. Many phishing emails are really relatable to the environment we're inserted and they could trick on you easily. Hoxhunt plugin for Office is marvelous, making it easy to report. Once the tool is based on gamification, it makes you want to report all phishing emails, encouraging us, the players, to report more and more. Mini trainings on the platform is good, once it encovers the critical points around end-user security, such as strong passwords, how to detect phishings and others.
CONSNone at the moment. I really enjoy the platform.
