"Thoughtfully Designed, Engaging, and Effective Email Security Training"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

The program is thoughtfully designed. Its user interface is easy to navigate and visually appealing. The training sections are effective without being repetitive. The simulated malicious emails are well crafted and relevant to real-world scenarios. This program encourages greater awareness when checking emails and helps develop the habit of double-checking for suspicious signs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

In my view, the timing associated with malicious emails doesn't seem very logical. If an email simply goes unread or no action is taken on it for some time, I don't think it should be classified as missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Tool for Phishing Awareness and Education"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I appreciate Hoxhunt for creating an environment where everyone is more knowledgeable and safeguarded against phishing emails. I love the ability to learn and see different perspectives on attacks used by scammers. It's really helpful in educating me about different forms of phishing and fraudulent email correspondences. Additionally, the setup was a breeze for me, thanks to my IT department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

Some of the simulations should be a little more clear when teaching a learning moment with phishing and fraud emails in the resolution after reporting an email. I want to see the ability to report more information other than the two options when a questionable email comes into my inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Hoxhunt at my work to report suspicious emails. I also get training emails from Hoxhunt which help sharpen my skills on detecting phishing emails. I appreciate its clear workflow for reporting suspicious emails with just a simple click of a button integrated right in the email app. I like the level of engagement it provides, which keeps me 'on my toes,' ready to detect and report potential phishing emails. I like all the aspects of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

There could be more micro trainings which include some other form of media, like there was one which was about deep fake voice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like Hoxhunt because we immediately get an answer about the emails reported. It makes the phishing training in a fun way. The initial setup was very intuitive, which was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

When I report an email, the answer is sometimes not very conclusive. It often says things like 'it can be dangerous' or 'it may be malicious.' After giving this immediate but not 100% conclusive answer, it would be better if it took more time to come back with a 100% conclusive one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Gamification Makes Learning Data Protection Fun"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I personally am specialised in data protection and fraud tactics, I know how difficult it is to teach people about the subject in a way that keeps them engaged. The gamification of the process is executed in a great way, it makes people eager to participate and track their personal and team results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

I did identify already a problem that has also built a frustration in a couple of people, namely the late responses.

Now the biggest problem here is that people do like to see their numbers go up, but if you have been sick or on holidays and missed the email, then suddenly you will no longer be able to be on the top of the score board, and you feel like you drag your team down as well cause the total % falls down too.

I would consider a better solution for this like maybe a short question afterwards why was the response delayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cybersecurity training that is actually fun!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

Hoxhunt makes cybersecurity training actually engaging by turning phishing simulations into a fun, gamified experience. It’s a great way to stay sharp against real-world threats without feeling like you're stuck in a boring lecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

The simulations can sometimes feel a bit repetitive over time, making it less challenging for users who are already tech-savvy. Additionally, it would be great if the system better accounted for vacations so that missed emails don't negatively impact your performance streaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging and Effective, Yet Needs Email Context Sensitivity"
5/5
What do you like best about Hoxhunt?

I love that Hoxhunt is very realistic and that it has trained me to be more cautious about emails that I receive. I also like the game feature it has, like the leaderboard where you can compete against coworkers, other schools, and companies. It's pretty motivating! The initial setup was super easy; I think I just clicked a link or something. I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoxhunt?

My coworker mentioned an issue where receiving a fake email from our principal on a weekend seemed really casual and a bit inappropriate. It made her think poorly of him initially, wondering why he contacted her over the weekend or why he spoke so informally given their relationship. She thought that was definitely crossing a line, and that the "phishing" shouldn't shouldn't cause one to have negative feelings about one's coworkers or bosses, even if it's fake.
