Hoxhunt Reviews & Product Details

Mini-game experience for sure. As a gamer myself if find it fun and egaging while it is also informative. I find Hoxhunt's strategy very effective, I not only learn about cyber security but I have fun doing it and I'm always excited to find a Hoxhunt email. The levelling up and achievemets are simple, fun and keep me wanting to gain move. The interface is functional, instructions are clear, integrating this fuction was simple and so is using it on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly I don't think there is anything I dislike. Perhaps I would like to see the hox emails apprear more often, but on the other hand it is important not to over-do it, so it stays refreshing and not annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a software engineer at Publicis Sapient, I value Hoxhunt’s low-friction, technical approach to security. It replaces long training videos with instant, 'catch-and-learn' simulations that live directly in my inbox.

I especially appreciate the immediate feedback loop—after reporting a threat, I get a quick technical breakdown of the headers and social engineering tactics used. It turns a compliance task into a 30-second problem-solving challenge that doesn't disrupt my development workflow or context-switch me away from my code." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a developer, I find the predictability a bit limiting after a while; once you recognize the vendor’s templates, it feels more like 'spot the Hoxhunt' than a true security test.

Additionally, the gamification can conflict with deep work. The pressure to report simulations quickly to maintain leaderboard standing rewards constant inbox monitoring, which is counterproductive when I’m trying to stay in the 'flow state' for complex coding or deployments."

I like how easy Hoxhunt is to engage with and navigate. As a competitive person, I enjoy that after every successfully reported email (for example), you earn stars that keep accumulating and lead to badges. When I report an email, I also like how Hoxhunt breaks down the most important signs of a scam and makes me more aware of what to look out for. The ease of using Hoxhunt is a bonus!

It is very user friendly and informs me of how to navigate the scams that could be sent over, so I do not believe Hoxhunt has any downsides! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an interactive and adaptive learning approach. The platform uses gamified micro-training and real-time feedback to make spotting and reporting phishing emails both engaging and effective. This not only helps me stay alert to potential threats but also builds confidence in handling suspicious emails. I also appreciate that it reduces the burden on security teams by automating phishing analysis, while still giving employees meaningful insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Hoxhunt valuable overall, but at times the exercises are too similar, and the notifications can be disruptive. More diverse content and flexible scheduling would improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's has become a vehicle for conversation starters in the office. Almost like a game or competition. We will confide in our colleagues when we've been duped by Hoxhunt! The Frequency of the emails has a good cadence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly there isn't much to dislike. It's a program to help employees spot phishing emails. It's a really good training tool. I haven't had to use Customer Support yet, but how they communicate in general is really good. Ease of integration for my office was simple and easy. Implementation as well. Everyone seems to enjoy participating. Super easy to use. There hasn't been a single instance of struggle using this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has a game aspect to it. It makes it fun and adds a level of competitiveness throughout the company. The system is also very easy to use and the information is clear and easy to understand.

I also enjoy how easily it is integrated in with my gmail inbox, a simple click on hoxhunt and it takes me to the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly there isn't too much to dislike, maybe some of the emails are a little tricky but that's not really something that should be a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the testing because it keeps me alert and on my toes about phishing scams and attempts. It makes me more aware of the ways people try to get my information or access my devices. I appreciate that it helps me acknowledge issues I might see in emails by recognizing phishing tests and real threats. Hoxhunt keeps me vigilant, making me automatically assess messages that seem suspicious. Although I'm not a fan of the gaming side, I do see value in the testing and its role in keeping me aware.

Sometimes I report a message to Hoxhunt, and then I have to go through the whole gamifying thing. I just want Hoxhunt to identify it as spam and delete it from my inbox. When I'm in a rush, I don't have time to go through the review and the Hoxhunt analysis. The process can be long if I'm in a hurry, and I sometimes just delete it from my inbox.

I think the phishing emails in Hoxhunt are very realistic, they really make you stop and think. The immediate feedback and short follow-up training reinforce the learning right away. The gamification element is good because you're competing against your peers within the company, which encourages participation. It's also useful to see how different groups in the company are doing. The setup is really super easy and fully integrated into our system, and I like being able to see my score and how I'm performing on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the emails feel a little bit repetitive and unrealistic, but I appreciate that they are not designed bespoke for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I always have so much fun with the emails that are sent. When we see one that we think is a hoxhunt, all of us take bets on it and then we cheer when it is or laugh when it is not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of them go into my junk mail and I automatically delete anything in my junk mail that looks like it comes from some place outside my company and then it registers as I missed one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The company I work for uses Hoxhunt as a primary tool to build awareness around digital security, especially when it comes to email. I’d say Hoxhunt has helped me better understand how phishing emails are crafted, and just how convincing they can be if you’re not paying close attention to the details. It also makes learning more fun and engaging overall; it’s easy to use and feels genuinely rewarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like the competition aspect of Hoxhunt. It feels like they use a ranking system to incentivize people to do their best, and that might work for the people at the top. But for those at the bottom, it can be frustrating, because they know they’ll never reach the top positions. This is especially true for field employees who don’t check their email as frequently as office-based employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
