"Engaging Cybersecurity Training with Realistic Simulations"
4/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I use Hoxhunt primarily for cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulation exercises. I find realistic phishing simulations and interactive learning particularly engaging and practical. They help me gain hands-on experience in identifying potential threats in a safe environment, making the training easy to retain and apply in everyday work. I also like that integrating Hoxhunt with our email platform was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly, Impactful Training with Room for Simulation Enhancement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I find Hoxhunt's user-friendly UI and training modules with examples very beneficial. The interface is client-friendly and intuitive, so I don't have to learn the tool before starting to learn the content. The example-driven modules are probably the most impactful part of using Hoxhunt because they shift the experience from reading about security to actually practicing it in context. Things like fake invoice emails, HR updates, and password reset requests help in identifying early warning signs. The initial setup of Hoxhunt was quite simple, which I appreciate.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

The phishing simulation can start to feel a bit predictable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Phishing simulations that make learning fun."
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

The whole idea of teaching users about cybersecurity through gamification and test cases is simply great. I see real excitement among my colleagues whenever they receive a suspicious email generated by Hoxhunt. They ask each other whether it’s legitimate and if they should click on it. That alone shows the approach works, it makes people pause, question, and reflect on their actions in the digital world.

The emails created by Hoxhunt are incredibly convincing. It’s so easy to fall for them because they look genuine and are highly relevant to what a typical user might encounter in real life. I also love how each email is followed by a detailed, engaging, and educational explanation that clearly highlights modern phishing patterns and the tricks used by fraudsters.

I always look forward to the Hoxhunt test emails, as they allow me to challenge myself and assess my own knowledge. The learning explanations are so good that I often take screenshots to use when coaching my elderly parents at home.

It’s a great product that delivers strong results through fun, learning, and a healthy sense of cross‑team competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

I like everything: your platform with overall scores is also great, with fantastic UX and UI design that’s genuinely pleasant to the eye. The only suggestion I would offer is to allow users to download all the learning content assigned to each email test as a PDF, so it can be saved and referred to again in the future. It would also be helpful to have the option to revisit tasks that were missed and have expired due to not completing them within the timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gamified Phishing Defense with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I like that Hoxhunt has a ranking system and challenges that help me understand whether I'm getting phished or not. It's pretty amazing to be part of a ranking, and the experience feels almost like a game, playing for shields and achievements. The gamified elements help me realize more easily when something might be a phishing mail. I also find the setup to be really easy as we just received an email, logged in, and everything was automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

I think the ranking is sometimes a little bit confusing. It's not the first person in the ranking having more stars, but the one being faster at responding. Sometimes I feel this is not correct, it should be the one with more stars at least. There's even a bug where people can respond twice from different devices to get more stars. I don't like that from a competitive side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Cyber Security Training with Quick Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I find using Hoxhunt is very easy as it's seamlessly implemented as a part of my normal workday. I appreciate that I don't necessarily need to do anything extra even on a busy day. I like the way it presents new emails in a way that sometimes I don't immediately know if they are real or a test from Hoxhunt, which is the whole idea. This setup allows me to encounter a strange email and press the report button, learning something new each time, which is great. The initial setup was extremely easy, which is a huge plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

Maybe some visuals can be improved, and also, like, there is a little bit of waiting time when you press the report. It's a small glitch, not big. They could be much faster, more snappier, when you press the report, so then you can quit quicker to see if this report is all caught up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fun and Effective Phishing Training Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I love how the simulated mails in Hoxhunt feel very realistic, providing good practice on simulated versus unsimulated attacks, and teaching me in a practical and engaging way. The dashboard and ratings feature is also very engaging, showing me how I compete with others in my organization and displaying a leaderboard. Overall, it's a fun learning platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

Improvement area - I think based on the user scores, for e.g. I might be well trained in detecting phishing mails so I should be given a different/more difficult set of trainings/mails. The same mail for everyone might be good a start but can be made challenging as users adapt. 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.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

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.
