Really helps ingrain the right email security mindset, without hassle
Reviewed on 2022/09/20
It's great and I'm happy my coworkers enjoy and share what they learn about phishing.
It's great and I'm happy my coworkers enjoy and share what they learn about phishing.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Fun and Educative platform
Reviewed on 2024/04/30
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Very good
Very good
Pros
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..
Cons
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.

Chep is a global Company, & have invested in Hoxhund, which is such a good tool for the users to be aware of spams/Hox emails, as the fraudsters are increasing every day, this is an excellent tool to protect company's statutory & other information.
Pros
response time is excellent, When, not sure, you can still click on the Hox tab, they will respond, whether it's a positive hit & advise what you need to do.
awards are given to encourage you to be alert of unwanted & dangerous emails, that could have an impact on the business information.
Cons
to be honest, I have not had any issues with Hoxhunt, at this present moment

Hoxhunt has been an invaluable tool for reinforcing our company’s security culture. The ease of use, combined with comprehensive and engaging training modules, has made it simpler to keep everyone informed and aware of the latest security threats. It not only effectively reduces risks but also cultivates a proactive mindset around security best practices. Overall, Hoxhunt stands out as a must-have for any organization serious about cybersecurity training.
Pros
Hoxhunt simplifies the process of keeping the entire team informed about the most recent security policies and best practices. Its interactive and engaging training sessions ensure that security awareness is always a top priority for everyone, making the learning process enjoyable and memorable. The platform's content is consistently updated, and its focus on real-world threats is highly practical.
Cons
There's not much to dislike about Hoxhunt. If I had to pick something, it would be great to have more customization options for the training sessions. Nevertheless, the "pause training" feature is very helpful in ensuring that no one falls behind, which is a thoughtful touch.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Honestly I really liked it! Something new across the boring work inbox. Starting from the "usual" training phishing and scam emails - you can report them via hoxhunt and also get a micro (but useful) explanation about what have you just reported. Later - "spicy mode" - sometimes really believable and hard to detect. Also the gamification aspect is surprisingly fun. By reporting and completing micro trainings you unlock achievements and upgrade your "shield". It's a first time I saw such mandatory thing be quite enjoyable. Nice! :)
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 and Cons of using Hoxhunt
Reviewed on 2024/06/03
Pros
The platform is user-friendly, and offers really engaging and personalized training experiences. It’s overall a powerful tool for strengthening a company's cybersecurity posture by turning employees into a first line of defense against phishing and other social engineering attacks.
Cons
What can come up as cons, is that with time, some of the emails coming in disguise from Hoxhunt for simulating phishing get unnoticed by the employee. Besides, if employees are exposed to phishing simulations too frequently, they might start recognizing the patterns of these simulations without really learning to apply the skills in real-world scenarios.

More benefit than just training - makes checking my email fun
Reviewed on 2024/05/31
Pros
We use Hoxhunt for its simulated phishing email service. They'll send fake phishing emails to me and my coworkers to train us to recognize and thwart the real deal. It's a lot of fun and makes me actually want to check my email!
Cons
I don't really engage with hoxhunt often or deeply - I'm just on the user side for the phishing emails, which come in irregularly, roughly once a month (as intended, to avoid people from getting to expect these and spoiling the training). So I'm not really in a position to have a negative opinion of any aspect of hoxhunt

Great tool for awareness training
Reviewed on 2024/05/09
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

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!
