What I like best about Hoxhunt is how it makes security awareness training engaging rather than feeling like a mandatory compliance exercise. The platform delivers highly realistic phishing simulations that adapt to users' skill levels, helping employees build practical skills over time. It is also easy to administer, provides insightful reporting dashboards to measure progress, and requires minimal ongoing maintenance. The combination of personalized learning, gamification, and actionable analytics makes it an effective solution for improving an organization's overall security awareness.

Hoxhunt has been a strong solution overall, but there are a few areas where it could improve:

Reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible, especially for organizations that need executive-level or custom reports.

Additional native integrations with enterprise security tools and collaboration platforms would simplify administration.

More options to customize phishing templates and training content for organization-specific branding or scenarios would be helpful.

Some advanced administrative features have a slight learning curve and could benefit from more in-product guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Hoxhunt is how it delivers security awareness training in a very practical and engaging way. The phishing simulations are realistic and relevant, which helps users clearly understand real-world threats instead of relying on generic training content. The instant feedback and short learning moments after each simulation reinforce good security behavior without overwhelming users. From an admin perspective, the dashboard is intuitive, reporting is clear, and it’s easy to track user progress and risk levels. Overall, Hoxhunt strikes a great balance between effective security training and a positive user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hoxhunt has genuinely improved my ability to spot spam and phishing emails. The scenarios are extremely realistic—far more so than other security awareness tools I’ve used in the past—and they closely mirror the kinds of messages that actually show up in a real inbox.

Honestly, I don't have many complaints. There aren't too many emails sent, the trainings are short and to the point, and it helps me think before opening a suspicious email. No complaints at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the biggest thing Hoxhunt has going for it is that it doesn't feel like training. Most companies do that one annual security course where you sit through a slideshow for 45 minutes, click "I understand," and forget everything by lunch. Hoxhunt just quietly sends you the occasional fake phishing email and waits to see what you do. That's it. It's low-key enough that people actually engage with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it only covers phishing. It's very good at that one thing, but cybersecurity awareness is broader than email threats, and Hoxhunt doesn't really address the rest of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how they have the adaptive training, spicy modes and also the integration with the outlook ribbons of hoxhunt button.

The simulated phishing emails look very close to real‑world threats.

Also the Strong analytics, reporting dashboard promoting the competitive nature with peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are too many emails, which can cause alert fatigue. Also, because the emails look realistic and legitimate, they can sometimes create a sense of threat and make me worry about real, original emails. As a result, I end up viewing them all with extra caution and double-checking them using the hoxhunt button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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."

The tool creates a robust reporting process or trend and this informs stakeholders of different suspicious activities

The training process is more engaging, snd this makes it easy for admins and employees to relate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The concept of phishing simulations brings some training fatigue and this makes some users get tired with the app

The app handles multiple phosphoric emails and this interrupts the normal business workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

The best thing about hoxhunt is that it has a very interactive and innovative interface. The leaderboard ranking gives a motivation to actively track the phishing emails and keep the score high. Also, the training mode is very nice way to train ourselves and beaware of real phishing emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don’t like about Hoxhunt is that the average time to report is calculated from when the email is received, rather than from when it’s actually read. That makes the average reporting time look higher than it really is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
