Hornetsecurity Security Awareness Service Reviews & Product Details

From a Devops perspective, the largest win has been how smoothly it integrates with our Microsoft 365 setup. We didn’t have to do much heavy lifting to sync usera and get camaigns up and running fast. Phishing simulations very close to what we actually see in the logs credential harvesting emails, fake internal reqests and similar patterns and its become a more and more useful tool for sending uaera authentic looking (but phishing) emails that create a sense of urgency and push for action. Reporting easy to understand and easy to share with management, without having to reformat the data first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our Hornetsecurity users were clicking on almost anything that looked urgent at first and the benefit we saw was that it raised awarness of common soam techniques across the organization. It also helped cut down on noise for our team and fewer incidents ended up being esclated to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stood out to me most was how convincingly the phishing emails mirrored real world attacks. A few people on our team believed they were real, which says a lot about the quality. I also thanksfull that the system adapts to real situations and current topics, then uses that context to generate relevant test mails snd campagin automation, along with instant feedback and the training modules, helps keep the process on going instead of letting it become a one off exercise. I’m also a fan of the incident reporting feature, it encourages users to actively report supicious mails rather than ignore them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing can add up depnding on which features you enables. Intial configuration especially when you’re trying to align it with existing security policies may take some trial and error to get right. It does help reduce the attack surface by running simlations and using the statistics they provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes this tool effective is how realistic the phishing and smishing simulationa feel.

I also the segmenation feature because it leta us focus on higher risk users with more tailored campagins. I appreciate that the platform can assgin tests, track progress and automate follow up training, which helps keep everything consistent over time. It also includes helpful capabilities like progress tracking, automated reminders and risk scoring and the integration woth pur email environmwnt was fast we didn’t need much support to get up and running.

Hornetsecurity some of the content updates could arrive faster so they bettet reflect the latest attack trends. The initial setup for more customized campagins also takes a bit of trail and error before everything feels properly dialed in. It does a really great of creating serious threat scenarios, which helps keep everything for mimicking real world threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deployment is fast, and we can launch campagins within minutes. The horenetsecurity awarness service is intutive and the automation means we don’t have to constantly monitor the training.

I’d like more flexibility when creating phishing templates. Also, some of the training videos feel longer than necessary which can hurt enagement for busy teams and ends up taking more time than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Horenetsecurity awarenses phishing simulations feel very close to real world scenarios, which helps employees recognise what attacks look like everyday email communication.

Its a straighforward platform that helps keep security awareness active across the organisation.

At the moment, there isn’t anything that really needs improvement. It already includes all the features we need, and a bit more flexibility to customize certain things would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the combination of training modules, phishing simulations, amd reporting tools. I find the automated training especially useful because it trains our employees efficiently and helps us recive fewer spam emails. The reports are also helpful, since they show how users improve over time and make it easier to see whether the training is actually making a difference. Installation was very easy as well, which allowed for a fast, smooth setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration of microsoft infrastructure often bugs, which leads to recurring malfunctions. In addition, some reports still need to be shared manually with other teams, and that extra step takes more time than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The phishing simulation engine is very effective and closely mirrors real attcak scenarios. I especially like the simulations because they train employees in a practical, realistic way. I test emails feel very similar to real phising attempts, which gives employees a clearer sense of what actually shows up in their inbox and helps them spot suspicious messages before they turn into a real problem. Hornetsecurity also supports compliance, since the training aligns with common security standards and policies. Another advantage is that it integrates smoothly with Microsoft 365 and other emails systems, so setup isn’t complicated. On to of that, the automated training schedules and ready to use content make it easier to keep awareness training running consistenly, without needing constant manual effort.

It would be helpful if the subscription were available on an annual basic as well. I’d also like to see more flexibility around customization. Organization that want to build very specific or truly unique phising scenarious may find the current set of options a bit limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the realistic phishing simulations included in Hornetsecurity security awareness service. The training emails closely resemble the kinds of attacks people might actually reveive, so learning feels pratical and relevant instead of purely theoretical. As a result, employees tend to take the training more seriously and engage with it more thoughtfully. I also find the reporting features helpful, since they offer clear insights how employees respond to the simulated threats and where additional focus may be needed.

I haven’t encountered any problems, and everything has worked the way I expected. However, for organizations with more complex infrastructure, the overall process could be more seamless. Even so, with a few adjustments on our side, it still works perfectly fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The phishing simulations feel very realistic, which helps employees understand what real attack look like. The training is also sent automatically, so the security team doesn’t have to manage everything manually. I also like the Employee Security Index because it shows how employees are improving over time. The training adjusts based on each person’s knowledge level, which makes it more relevant, helpful and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the first the dashboard can feel confusing because there are so many metrics and settings. It takes some time to get used to everything, but after using it for a while it becomes much easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
