SAR remote sensing engineer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effective Training" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros I like how many types of spam and phishing mail can be there and hoxhunt sends such customized and dummy mails to train individuals how to recognize them Cons only the mail integration UI seems to pretty tight, it can be improved Review Source William R. Account Executive, Enterprise Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Security training made fun!" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros By gamifying security training, Hoxhunt has created an excellent product that makes security training fun. Specifically, it has really helped me hone my skills when spotting dubious emails. In addition, you compete against your peers with a competitive leaderboard. Cons It would be good to receive some trivia on previously cyber attacks etc at other companies. Perhaps informational videos on why IT security is so important (but keep it fun) Review Source Victor P. Intern Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HoxHunt is necessary tool" September 20, 2022 5.0 I consider it a very useful and good tool, working together with the company, building more and more intelligent and protected employees Pros employee training against phishing and attacks Cons I believe that the tests could be more frequent and more worked Review Source SR Swaminathan R. Expert Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hoxhunt - Need of the hour " September 21, 2022 5.0 it is really a great experience and every time if i find a spam message i am felling happy :) Pros creating awareness to the end-user by getting escaped from spam/phishing mails in which data are being secured Cons so far i didn't find anything which needs to be improved. if i find out anything will highlight then and there Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Management Trainee Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing security awareness training like never before" September 21, 2022 5.0 More aware of email security Pros Absolutely the awareness training for email security. It's been so great because it used simulation to make us as user more understand and be cautious every time we received any email. It has great impact and I hope for more security training taught like this. Cons Many colleagues has some difficulties to understand what can Hoxhunt do for them and how to use them properly. Perhaps there will be a better introduction to let user know more about Hoxhunt feature. Review Source IK Ivan K. Senior Security Architect Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Effective and visually nice anti-phishing awareness tool" September 20, 2022 5.0 It proved to be the best anti-phising interactive solution I've seen so far. Pros Being merely a target, i.e. regular user on the receiving end of phishing simulatios, I love with this SW that it managed to trick me a few times already. Ranging from easy-to-detect to more credible emails, scheduled in different times and composed in variations, it server its primary purpose: to "shock" and to educate. MS Outlook mail client integration makes it very usable (Hoxhunt reporting button always present in the toolbar serves as the constant awareness reminder). Gaming approach with badges and progress tracking is also nice. Cons Extending from email to other communication channels (MS Teams, mobile PUSH notifications) - perhaps already available, but I haven't seen it - would be an extended approach to sec. awareness.

Invoicing Specialist Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hoxhunt is a great tool for organizations of all sizes/ " September 21, 2022 5.0 We currently use the software for making staff aware of fraudulent emails. Pros I love the simulation trainings, they are very useful in spotting fraudulent emails, websites, etc. Cons I cannot think of anything that I did not like about the software. So far it is doing a great job in making us more aware. Review Source TH Tünde H. Business Area Controller Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best tool to train for cyber security" April 30, 2024 5.0 Pros The simulated threat attacks. They are actually hard to detect and keeps me learning new things about attacks. Cons There is nothing specific I can mention. Review Source Oskar Y. Business Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hoxhunt review from Sweden" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros The gamification. The awards and the interface. It's compelling and intuitive. It makes you want to learn more. Cons I would like to be able to correct my mistakes! And I would like more challenges. Review Source SM Suhayl M. Finance Manager Shipbuilding Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent" September 21, 2022 5.0 Cyber security is on everyones lips and minds now. Maybe even people are getting more paranoid about phising emails! Pros Simulated emails / phising is very well constructed. Not an easy exercise. Cons None - actually think this software hits the spot very well at a level relevant for our organisation. Review Source AS Amir S. Order Processor & Administrator Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hoxhunt is worth!" September 21, 2022 5.0 Well overall, i would recomend Hoxhunt to every company that is dealing with a huge load of emails, as this is the best way to stay aware with not trusting mails. Also the reward system of huxhunt is pretty motivating. Pros It takes you out of the Routine, out of feeling safety and staying more allert. Cons Well funny to say but, sometimes Hoxhunt was too good, i was not expecting to read a hoxhunt mail.

Review Source TV Tommy V. Customer Service Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent training tool and knowledge provider" September 21, 2022 5.0 Using Hoxhunt allows me to be more aware of cyber attacks. I have a strong feeling of being protected from attackers, knowing that Hoxhunt is installed on my laptop. I would never want to be the cause of a virus or worm infecting our systems. Pros I like to security coverage of Hoxhunt. The ability to protect me from viruses, or cyber attacks. Cons I have no Cons regarding this software. The software is an excellent safeguard feature. Review Source LP Louise P. Overseas Collections Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Untrained, external member of the team. " September 22, 2022 5.0 I am sharpening my awareness level. Mission accomplished. Pros I never had training (if given at all to other members of the Bank, I am unsure). I am a distance worker, working abroad. But I really like the organic nature of the product. Our emails (my emails on behalf of the Bank) are often sent to spam, so get missed and matters are not handled.SO this is clearly a problem on an international level. I have already spoken warmly about this product to others,as your approach is so intelligent, and reward system informative and amusing! My own company, contracted to the Bank is a 2-man business so we're not really in the market for you, and I keep my partner fully up to date with what I come across in the Bank's version of Hoxhunt. Cons I didn't have any training or warning of this process, when I joined the organisation. But in retrospect is was more natural and organic that way. The scammers don't send notice that they are about to begin a campaign of malicious communication, after all. Review Source DS Dawid S. Senior Software Enginner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fun gamified experience which really trains" September 21, 2022 5.0 Pros During my professional career I was a subject to many cybersec and phishing courses, but this program is really the next level. Good, smartly crafted emails, which some of them almost got me. And all driven by scores, achievements and country leaderboards. It's a game of phishing hide and seek, which is fun, teaching a lot during the process. And graphical part of the training is also appealing. Cons Sometimes the phishing attemps are obvious, like an email "I found some letter for you at your desk in the office, click to see a scan" - Nice try, I'm working 100% remotely :) But it's rare, most are very well crafted. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer MATERIALS MANAGER Mining & Metals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hoxhunt for work" September 1, 2022 5.0 Very good and would recommend to others. Pros I like how you can measure your progress. Cons No con to think of - except marking legit emails as fraud when they are not. Review Source DG Daniel G. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hoxhunt keeps you on your toes" September 25, 2022 5.0 I spend more time looking at the sender and quality of the message to spot for links or suspicious activity that could potentially risk the safety of my information. Pros Because of the quality of Hoxhunts that come through I always am on my toes looking for issues or potential spam to report. Cons I find it quite quick to works with however I find when I am busy I don't tend to have enough time to sit through the training. Review Source SW Shontel W. Accounts Payable/Receivable Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Safety First" September 21, 2022 5.0 Pros I really like the ability to report a suspicious email and if it is not they will let me know right away. The response time is fantastic. Cons I have not found anything that I do not like. Review Source PS Peter S. SAP Senior Consultant Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awareness boost for mail users" September 21, 2022 4.0 The software is only as good as the data/languages provided from the ones who set it up for a company. Even Tieto Austria as a part of an English speaking company, more activities should be provided in German, as still most of the our mails are written in German. So it's easy for me to detect Hoxhunt messages, as I always get suspicious, when I receive English mails. Pros The know how is provided step by step without getting the feeling that you actively learn something. The points, stars and achievements provide a "gaming" environment, with nice challenges. Cons I really see no need to criticize the solution - using it is a kind of fun for me. Review Source VD Valentin D. Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "very good tool for training " September 20, 2022 5.0 Some email are looking very real and simulate a real attach. With this tool I have increased my awareness including on my personal email now. Pros Is a powerful tool that increase users awareness Cons I don't understand how the scoring is calculated and why the difference is so big with only 2% mist emails. In case that people are in vacation then the email send by hoxhunt is removed from the system and marked as mist, but the user was in vacation and did not read email from work. There is not possibility to report these emails from Iphone mobile application Review Source AJ Ali J. Site Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Learn by playing" September 20, 2022 5.0 They really trick you to click, and after you feel dumb because it was so avious that it was fake. Pros Easy to learn, very educational, but important Cons I dont know, i forget that i can be tricked...?
