"Fun Way to Ensure Secure Practices"
3/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I really enjoy the ability to see past results, compare performance to other departments, rank up with "XP" for earning new badges to promote quick responses and strict filtering, and a clean UI that doesn't get in the way of the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

My one and only minor complaint is the speed at which the hoxhunt page loads in from Outlook. It is also very clear when an email is a simulation or a real email based on just clicking the hoxhunt button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Outlook Integration with Accurate, Responsive AI Detection"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I like having the option to review any email whenever there’s any doubt. The UI feels very intuitive and integrates really well with Outlook. The button is quick to use and very accurate.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

I dont like the second window prompt after a review of mail. It sometimes fails and is slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hoxhunt’s Email Simulations Feel Natural and Truly Protective"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

Hoxhunt provides a variety of simulations via email that provide examples on what to look for. It genuinely feels like I am being protected by the platform and what I learn with Hoxhunt I can apply in my personal life. It does not feel like I am using a tool just something that naturally works into my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

Sometimes it is pretty obvious that an email is from Hoxhunt. Most of the simulations are easy to catch nor are challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Realistic Phishing Simulations, Easy Setup, Engaging Training"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

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.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

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.

"Fun, Engaging Phishing Emails That Keep Our Team on Our Toes"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

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.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

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.

"Fun, Rewarding Way to Build Phishing Awareness with Hoxhunt"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

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.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

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.

"Engaging Cybersecurity Training with Gamified Learning"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I use Hoxhunt to learn about cybersecurity, and I find it very helpful because it trains you and makes you aware of online risks. I appreciate that you get the knowledge by doing, which helps consolidate everything better. I really like the reward system and the content. The progression is awesome because it keeps you alert by challenging you with harder tasks as you improve, which gives me a sense of safety. The reward system makes me feel like I'm actually learning and progressing step by step, creating value for myself with Hoxhunt's help. The content provides a variety of elements to identify, improving my cybersecurity skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

Maybe using things from the company to customize the experience, like on the phishing training use language or names that you may see through your company, that way you'd be more careful and aware of the little details. Also, for me the initial setup was a bit confusing because I received an email, and I was suspicious because no one told me about it, so I had to confirm with people from my company. Then it was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Security Training with Gamification"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I really love Hoxhunt for the gamified experience it provides. The platform makes identifying phishing emails engaging by allowing me to pick out the authentic ones and then experiencing a fun, interactive journey when I choose correctly. It provides a great way to stay safe from phishing and scam emails through an interactive UI that's more engaging than text-heavy learning. I appreciate the opportunity Hoxhunt gives to relearn through lessons that act like flashcards, enhancing my memory on what to click and what to avoid. This approach helps keep focus and engagement high when dealing with email security throughout a busy office day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

I think right now, it's all good. The only area I think I want to see more easy to access options, which are like one-click and, you know, have more kind of elaborated safety, security options that are easy on my fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intelligent phishing training with small integration hurdles"
4/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I particularly like that these emails come randomly and you are not prepared for them. Additionally, you are constantly reminded that phishing emails exist. It is required to think critically when you receive an email that has a certain urgency or claims to come from official sites like Microsoft, PayPal, or Amazon, and you should check if this email is genuine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

In any case, the days that are available when one is absent. It certainly also happens that one is absent for more than 30 days a year. That makes it difficult because you want to have a high score, right? And if I miss an email, even though I didn't miss it because I was on vacation and not in my work inbox, that's annoying for the ego. Hoxhunt is integrated with us in Outlook, but only in the desktop version. In the app on the phone, I can't access it via Outlook 365. That's annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Phishing Training with Real-Life Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I like that Hoxhunt provides an actual training experience embedded in real-life situations. It's interesting how I can see it between my actual daily emails, and the gamification aspect is fascinating. I appreciate that it's not a classroom situation; rather, it's something practicable that I can practice directly. The style of training is nonintrusive, and it keeps me engaged by making me double-check my emails and always remember to see who the sender is and what the email contains. It's a fun way to have my brain trained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

There's not much to be improved, to be honest. Maybe if there's any holiday function, for example, if I'm going on holiday, I have to read so many emails. I get email floods, and it's kind of annoying to see some Hoxhunt emails between, like, the 100 email. I'm not sure if this function is already there or not. But I, at least, have not seen it. And if there's any function where I can just tell Hoxhunt hey, please don't send me an email from this until this time period because of holiday, that would great.
