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.

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.

The regular emails phishing simulations makes the inboxes fee spammy

The app leads to alert fatigue, something that makes some users feel stressed out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Hoxhunt is its automated, gamified approach to security awareness. Rather than relying on long, once-a-year training modules, it sends realistic simulations straight to employees’ inboxes and provides immediate feedback. The seamless email add-in also makes it easy to report suspicious messages, which helps turn security awareness into an active, everyday habit for employees.

While the adaptive system generally works well, experienced users may occasionally find that some simulations start to feel repetitive or a bit too obvious after spending a long time on the platform. Adding more high-complexity, highly tailored scenarios for advanced or technical teams would be a valuable enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Hoxhunt makes test emails look like actual emails, which really convinces us to be cautious about clicking on certain links. It mimics real threats, like when a sender pretends to be from HR or demands urgent action like updating billing info to avoid payment delays. I also appreciate the gamification aspect in Hoxhunt, where it tracks user progression, unlocks levels, and shows how you fare with others in the company. The initial setup was super easy, and the UI along with everything else is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mostly use Hoxhunt when accessing emails via mobile device. I don't see the report to Hoxhunt button when accessing Gmail using a web browser so that's something we might want to look into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI could be implemented to send more difficult simulations, Plugin in outlook sometimes doesn't load properly and closing and re-opening outlook fixes the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hoxhunt is a product that works really well. My favorite feature is the report feature, which allows reporting all suspicious emails with low threshold. It integrates with the outlook client really well. Its user interface is nice and engaging. The game motivates to report more and more emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simulations are frequent and repetitive. I'd like to see more variance in the simulations. That way it would require more thinking to decide whether to report the simulation instead of acting automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that it raises security awareness and resilience. The training makes the users more cautious and looking out for key signs of phishing emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, far I only encountered issues with users trying to use another domain from acquisitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Hoxhunt provides high-quality training in security, improving our protection against attacks via mail and creating safe conduct. I like the way it works, especially the types of attacks, the leveling up experience, and achievements. It makes the activity feel good. The attacks are well built, and sometimes it's hard to be 100% sure of them, which is a challenging and valuable aspect. The gamification of the evolution for each user is very friendly and easy to engage with, as are the achievements. The initial setup of Hoxhunt was so easy; it was automated by our digital workplace engineers. Additionally, I use it integrated with Outlook. On a scale from 1 to 10, I recommend Hoxhunt a solid 10 over 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The training pause is not as flexible as it should be, and it should have mini tools integrated to help the user improve their knowledge in mail technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that it has made me stop and think before opening emails. Before Hoxhunt, I would just open emails without double-checking, but now that I’m more aware of the threat, I pay closer attention. The gamification also makes it more interesting, since it triggers my competitive spirit and keeps me engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Huxhunt is that there aren’t that many training sessions, and a lot of the phishing emails are way too obvious. That said, some are actually very well made and hard to spot. Overall, the performance is great. I’m not sure about the pricing since I don’t pay for it myself—my company does—but I hope it isn’t too expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
