Improves security at my company in a fun, challenging way. Nearly all Hoxhunt emails are different and some are very creative.

I have been using this program for almost 2 years and have found nothing about it I dislike.

I cannot really say cons on a tool that helps you learn an important skill nowadays in a fun way. It works really well.

Great tool and look forward to seeing it develop over the time - the interactive dashboard is very informative and provides training over a period of time.

A very proactive and useful tool for businesses. We use this tool as a firm and it is always so easy to report suspecting emails that we may miss from time to time.

None at the moment, it has been fine and haven't had any issues.

After learning more about potential scams, I've been able to teach my parents more tricks for identifying harmful emails and texts.

I was already pretty good at knowing what looks like a scam. After using Hoxhunt for so long, I'm able to almost instantly spot a potential scammer, not just with work, but on my personal email and my phone. I also love how it appears to be like a game with your personal stats shown after each email.

I have had trouble accessing the app to put in future days off. It seems I can only find it, if I happen to get a Hoxhunt email. I enjoy seeing the high percentages of catching the test, I've only missed one in 3 years due to an absence. Was sad to ruin my streak.

It is really very helpful tool to identify phishing emails.
I really now care or check before proceeding any suspicious mail form externals or other than my organization.
I am really capable of identifying or suspecting the fault in any of the mail i get.

1. Easy to understand

4. Continuous learning

1. May be initial interference can be made easy to use and understand

My overall experience with Hoxhunt is very good, I feel like I learn more about how to keep my personal information safe and how to identify malicious actions. I feel safe when using Hoxhunt, knowing that I can learn how to protect myself, my company and others!

It is very easy to use, you can integrate into the system of Hoxhunt as a user fast and comfortably. You will get occasional random mails and your job is to identify if these mails seem strange or seem malicious enough, if you think they do then you are supposed to report the mails to Hoxhunt! I like that you get tips either if you identify a Hoxhunt mail or not, also you get more unrelated tips afterwards, for example I got some step-by-step guide on how to migrate my mobile phone information to a new one, during a transfer to a new phone, in a secure way, which I find neat! You are always supposed to report any non-Hoxhunt mails also, so that they are properly catalogued and analyzed to improve Hoxhunt even more!

I have so far found nothing bad about Hoxhunt beside of one thing; It can be hard to find the Hoxhunt-button when I am to report a mail, it is located inside two menus in my Microsoft Outlook window, which can be annoying. This problem is only visible in Microsoft Outlook desktop, in my mobile phone I can easily find the Hoxhunt-button to report any malicious mails!

Good

In an overall assessment, Hoxhunt offers significant benefits in bolstering email security and raising employee awareness of phishing threats. However, it also comes with some potential drawbacks that organizations should carefully consider.

The platform's real-time training, user-friendly interface, customization options, and integration capabilities are valuable advantages. They contribute to enhancing security posture, mitigating risks, and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Nevertheless, organizations need to weigh these benefits against potential costs, false positives, training overload, and technical issues. There's also a risk of dependency on Hoxhunt, privacy concerns, and resistance to change among employees.

Ultimately, the decision to implement Hoxhunt should be based on a thorough evaluation of its features, costs, and potential impact on organizational security and productivity. Organizations should also consider complementing Hoxhunt with other cybersecurity measures to create a comprehensive defense against email-based threats

The Training given was so good

1. **Enhanced Security:** Hoxhunt provides an additional layer of security against email-based threats such as phishing, spear-phishing, and other malicious attacks.

2. **User-Friendly Interface:** Hoxhunt offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for both employees and administrators to navigate and utilize the platform effectively.

3. **Real-Time Training:** It provides real-time training to employees by simulating phishing attacks, helping them recognize and respond to potential threats better.

4. **Customization:** The platform allows for customization of training modules and campaigns to suit the specific needs and risk profiles of different organizations.

5. **Data Analytics:** Hoxhunt offers insights and analytics on employee performance, allowing organizations to identify areas of improvement and track progress in mitigating security risks.

Animation is little bit slower
1. **Cost:** Implementing Hoxhunt may incur additional costs, especially for organizations with tight budgets or those already investing heavily in other security measures.

2. **False Positives:** Like any security system, Hoxhunt may generate false positives, flagging legitimate emails as potential threats, which could lead to frustration and disruption in communication workflows.

3. **Training Overload:** Continuous training through simulated phishing attacks could potentially overwhelm employees, leading to decreased productivity or resistance to participating in training exercises.

4. **Limited Effectiveness:** While Hoxhunt aims to improve employee awareness and reduce the risk of successful phishing attacks, it may not completely eliminate the threat or address all cybersecurity vulnerabilities within an organization.

I think Hoxhunt is useful to learn more about phishing but in a fun and more informal way.
It is a great way to help keep our business safe.

I like the fake phishing emails - they are very realistic
The gamification also makes it more fun and feel less like a serious corporate training.

The system thinks I missed a fake phishing email because I didn't report it, but I was actually on holiday.

I really enjoy Hoxhunt, FAR more than traditional "Internet safety training". It's more interesting, more relevant, and has true-to-life examples of phishing.

The interactivity of Hoxhunt is what makes this better than the other phishing training I've received. It also keeps the concepts fresh by periodically sending a new test email-- far better than a 30-minute video presentation once a year!

If I don't check my email frequently enough it counts against my quarterly score to "miss" a training email, but that's just the perfectionist in me.

Very helpful and safe, very good product. Definitely the best product for spam emails that I ever used.

The simulation training is awesome! Keeps your alert to any email, the design is awesome, and the support team is very helpful.

There is no cons. Product is ease of use, features are clear to find, navigate is very ease to do.

Using Hoxhunt has saved me many times when genuine Phishing emails have come in. Great practice for recognizing malicious emails. Well worth using it.

Working through the emails that are set up as potential phishing scams has increased awareness. I would encourage anyone to use this if working in an office setting. The possibility of email scams is great in a technological environment.

Hard to put a finger on. Many benefits to its use.
