""Infotainment" and Real Metrics/Compliance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Hook Security "checks the box" for compliance in cyber security/awareness training for businesses of all sizes, but does so with high quality media content, training modules, and explainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

There are many options for back-end reporting, which is great, and a core product component. However, the interface could be more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Informative training videos that are quick and fun to watch"

4/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The great thing about Hook’s training is that it’s quick and simple to complete. Everything is done within your email, so users don’t have to sign into a different platform to complete the instant training or LMS courses. Our customer success rep is always responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Some content is not relevant to our targets, so I spend time customizing templates for our campaigns. Customizing system emails, like course reminders, could be improved as there are some limitations when you want your branding or formatting to look a certain way. But overall, Hook accomplishes the basics of what we need from a secuirty awareness product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Phishing simulations that keep current with the "bad" guys"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

I like that Hook's phishing simulations are current. They're not just a canned set of phishing simulation emails that are years old. They're current and keeping up with what the cyber attackers are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

There is a lot of data in the reports, which is a good thing, but it can be overwhelming to get all the information contained in the reports. However, to be fair, after the first couple, it's pretty easy to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like their engaging videos and easy to use platform. The analytics you get with the phishing campaigns can really let a company see where their employees stand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

They are a little higher priced than some of the competition. Plus many of our clients have a training/phishing service when we come to them so we don't get to offer this as much Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hook Security:

From a consultant standpoint, they are a great partner and easy to work with. They are quick to answer questions, offer support and talk to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All in One Phishing and Security Awareness Simulated Training"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Hook Security's platform and program are helping my employees and me understand the risks and threats posed by phishing emails. The platform can simulate phishing emails and train my employees at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

You need to request the capacity before you can run the number of seats. (This is maybe best practice for security point of use but not friendly for admin to do the ad-hoc test) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very affordable email security awareness training solution"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The training is in bite-size segments. So the employee doesn't get bored as quickly. And they have entertaining videos that help keep everyone focused on the training session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

They are a young company, so from time to time, we find some issues. A recent example is with our latest training session. One question quiz didn't have a completion notification. So the end-user could get confused about whether or not they finished the training.

Hook was happy to get the feedback and said that someone would be addressing the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
