"Great product, easy to use."

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Setting up phishing tests is easy with their built-in templates. Easy to track results, good reports. Security awareness training is equally simple to manage and I got really good feedback from the employees after they took the training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Honestly, there really aren't any downsides. I guess there could be more in depth training courses for developers and technical staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hook Security:

Great price point, great customer service, easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hook Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've solved the need for security awareness training and the evidence for it for SOC 2 certification. Additionally, we were working on other security initiatives and the ability also to manage phishing test campaigns was a big bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

The staff and support that you get with this company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

At this time, I don't dislike anything.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hook Security:

A great product and fantastic service from a company that knows what they are doing. This not only addresses knowledge gaps, but it also promotes a shift in culture that extends outside the office, and into cyber safety at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hook Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We see our employees improve behavior based on initial baseline testing and consequent responses with a targeted test against our best practice industry results. We are thrilled with the improvements in “phish alert” reporting and reductions in “clicks” on phish and malware due to employee learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hook has been very easy to use every step of the way"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The phishing campaigns are super easy to create and Hook provides a fun selection of templates to choose from every month. Hook makes it easy to generate the reports and gives a thorough breakdown of campaign details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

It would be neat if I could receive a test email from each campaign before it is distributed rather than just the preview email that is available while setting up the campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Effective"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The interface makes it extremely easy to create and execute social engineering campaigns. There is a wide variety of templates and they are very high quality. My goal is for the emails to be as convincing as possible, and Hook's do just that. The onboarding and customer service have been outstanding; I've gotten personal, rapid attention and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I switched from another provider and am extremely happy with the service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I've been using it for 6 months and have zero complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great training opportunities for employees that makes it quick, easy to understand and fun!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The training videos are great but the test emails are amazing. I am always on the lookout now, and it's because of the phishing tests they send out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Nothing. I have no issues or concerns here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hook Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hook Security providers an opportunity to train staff on how to identify phishing scams and what to do when you find them. It has made me much more careful with what I click on and open up in my email because of the test emails they send out monthly. I failed a couple of times, and after reviewing the test that I had failed and the subsequent videos they show you where you made a mistake, I am not much more aware of phishing scams and less likely to click on anything harmful.

"If you don't want to get hooked by phishing, do use Hook Security!"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Extensive library of available sample test emails, high level of available customization, multiple graphs and charts to view test performance and user interaction, overall ease of use, very friendly and helpful company staff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Nothing really, I would just say that their training library is not as extensive as some other companies I've seen but the others just have multiple copies of basically the same content while Hook is more focused & distinct so don't let that fool you into thinking something is lacking.

"Helpful antiphishing training"

4/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The testing, training, and tracking is all handled by Hook which makes deploying this very simple. It integrated easily with our O365 deployment. It also is easy to add/remove users with this integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

The training videos are useful, but not always custom to your specific deployment which can create some confusion for staff. But overall, clear messaging and guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging and useful security awareness training"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The content is terrific. Well-produced, clever, memorable videos and written content that bring security awareness concepts home to a wide corporate audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I haven't seen a good way to have a new hire "catch up" on training they didn't receive that everyone else in the company already has. It could be I just missed it, but it would be nice to see each time we enroll a new user that Hook would actively encourage that new person to review all the same training modules from past months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hook Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a consistent security awareness training to keep up our culture of security and satisfy our SOC 2 Type II annual audit requirements. The reporting makes it really easy for us to confirm that we have full compliance with our training program, and the system does a good job of nudging our team.

"A great experience in a nice space"

5/5

They handle everything for you if you want but you can also be very hands on if you choose to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Nothing really, they have so many features it can be a little daunting at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New and interesting."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The fact that I do not have to create phishing templates myself, everything is automated, and the reporting and subsequent training that follows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Most of the templates are not relevant to my geographic area. For example Chase or Bank of America is not relevant where I am. Of all the templates, perhaps only 20-30%

are relavant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
