It makes recognizing spam/phishing threats and learning about the many ways criminals try to trick people feel like a game. Users have a real incentive, which gives them dopamine, which makes them look out for such threats more actively, and aids in recognizing them more effectively. Customer service is wonderful as well!

Accessing the dashboard is not clear and as far as I'm aware can be done when reporting an email. If I don't have an email to report, I'm not sure how to access the dashboard. Also, it doesn't take public holidays into account which means that if you go for holiday for a few days and don't manually put it on pause, it will send you an email during holiday and then mark it as missed if you don't report it by the time you come back. This affects the stats negatively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hoxhunt makes cybersecurity awareness training actually engaging. The simulated phishing emails feel realistic and are delivered at random times so it trains you to stay alert in a real work environment. The gamified scoring system and progress levels help motivate continuous learning, rather than one-off annual training. It also fosters a stronger security-first culture across the organization.

Sometimes the difficulty level increases a bit too quickly especially for newer users who may not be familiar with phishing patterns. In addition, the learning pacing could be more customizable based on user experience level. It would also be helpful if there were more short video explainers to reinforce key lessons after each simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how intuitive the UI is, I like the game-ified way of learning about IT security and I enjoyed the leaderboards and the badges Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can think of is that it would be nice to have more emails to practice on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Hoxhunt is how it transforms cybersecurity from a tedious task into an engaging challenge that I genuinely want to overcome. The phishing simulations are convincing without being overwhelming, and the immediate feedback provided is both helpful and informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the simulated phishing emails seem a little too frequent or repetitive, particularly when work is especially busy. I recognize that the intention is to help us develop good habits, but the frequency can sometimes be disruptive. Additionally, I would value having a bit more context or explanation after each simulation, such as information on how it relates to actual threats or current phishing trends.

Additionally, the instant feedback and reinforcement provided allow users to quickly learn from their mistakes and continuously improve their skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislikes:

The customization options are somewhat limited, as the simulations do not always cater to particular roles or industries. There are also occasional false positives, where legitimate emails are flagged, which can lead to confusion. Additionally, the reporting tools are quite basic; the admin dashboards could benefit from offering more detailed insights and greater flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the gamified features are quite nice, and they make learning about security more interesting and interactive. This approach, rather than just theoretical walls of text, helps me become more conscious of the different spams or phishing attacks I might encounter. It's helpful in keeping my system secure and in understanding the various kinds of cybersecurity threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the phishing attacks are quite obvious, so if they could be a little more sneaky, that could be helpful. They need to up their game in that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Hoxhunt sends me more difficult problems to solve, which helps me better recognize threats coming via emails. The way the difficulty level of the training increases the more I use it is really beneficial. I also find it easier now to recognize well-created phishing emails or other suspicious content from emails. Additionally, I think it's a high-quality product, and the initial setup was easy.

I would hope for more questionnaires and short learning videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Hoxhunt to report phishing emails and learn through its interesting, informative content. It keeps me protected from phishing and unwanted emails. I really appreciate its super interactive, user-friendly UI and the milestones that clearly show my progress and keep me motivated. I find it easy to track what I’ve achieved and learned through Hoxhunt’s clean, intuitive interface. The initial setup was extremely easy since it was just an inbuilt login through my Outlook.

A wider variety of scenarios would make it more engaging. Like collaboration-tool phishing (MS Teams) and evolving threats and more practical day-to-day work related cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Hoxhunt is that the training can sometimes feel too frequent or repetitive, which can be distracting on busy workdays.

I like that the emails I receive from Hoxhunt are really good and show real-world examples of possible threats. I enjoy the service because it includes a gaming-like style where I can earn points, stars, milestones, and achievements as I progress in recognizing threats. It's definitely fun and it shows my progress, how many tests I've already got right and wrong, which surely boosts my engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were a couple of times when I felt lost, I mean I wasn't sure what should I do next to go to the next step of the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
