### "Why choose Hoxhunt?"

April 10, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with Hoxhunt has been FANTASTIC.

Pros

Hoxhunt helps you to identify what type of scam emails you will get and how to identify these type of emails such as unusual links.

Cons

The only thing I least like about Hoxhunt is while you are in training, when it sends you emails to see if you report it or not, sometimes the emails look genuine and that's where it can catch you out.

Very good and intuitive phishing training software. Highly recommended for companies who deal with many external contacts via email.

Cons

I do not have any bad points about HoxHunt.

### "Unicorn Pug 4 Life "

September 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

I really like the ease with which emails can be reported. The hox hunt button being integrated directly into outlook is perfect. The training sessions when each email is reported are very informative and a lot of tips and tricks that I would have never known about are in there.

Cons

I think other people in the company are getting more emails than me because I don't miss any and they all have more points than me

### "Happy user of Hoxhunt"

September 20, 2022

5.0

The biggest benefit is my awareness about spam and phishing is increased skyhigh after starting to use this product.

Pros

The product is very easy to use. The training emails I receive are very relevant to my business. It´s sometimes really hard to differentiate if it is a real email or just training email. And that's the whole purpose of this trainings I guess.

Cons

There is not a single thing I don´t like about this product.

October 6, 2022

5.0

an overall positive experience, it's entertaining, it tests your knowledge in detecting email fraud and potential danger toward the company.

Pros

the product is easy to use, the emails are sometimes challenging to detect. i like the competition style and accumulation of stars.

Cons

that emails disappear after a certain amount of time if not handled, but this affects vacation time, for instance.

### "Best phishing training tool "

September 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

Even though I have not used Hoxhunt before and I just got it since I entered my current position, I could tell that Hoxhunt is an easy to use and visually very satisfying. It was created as a game where you can sort of level up your phishing report skills, which are really stimulating and fun.

Cons

Some of the training emails were very tricky, but I get that that was the point, also for first timer, I didn't get a notification about this training so the first email I clicked in and got "phished".

### "Works well for us"

September 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

This is very helpful for some of our less technically adept employees. It's definitely improved our email safety for people who are most vulnerable to email attacks.

Cons

Sometimes I get "missed" on emails because they come in over weekends or when I am not at my desk.

September 21, 2022

4.0

Very good, would recomend more companies to enable hoxhunt for their employees to increase security awareness.

Pros

The satisfaction of spotting the simulated spam/phishing attacks

Cons

There aren't enough of them, but at the same time that's good. If you haven't recieved a Hoxhunt email in a while then you let your guard down

### "Very good threat prevention for emails and especially trainings are good."

September 20, 2022

5.0

I have learned to be more and more accurate on noticing threats.

Pros

I have liked that training tests are not too easy as real threats are not either. Even I have kept myself as careful enough I have noticed that I have felt on trick what Hoxhunt has sent for test. There is no point if tests are too easy to pass as it doesn't teach you.

Cons

I didn't find on the beginning Hoxhunt button from mobile phone work email app and thought that it is only for laptop email app. But it was there too. I shouldn't be so hide so it would be easier to use.

### "Easy and fun learning"

September 21, 2022

5.0

Pros

Hoxhunt is super easy and fun, I like the gamification element of it a lot. You learn without paying a lot of energy in it. The quests and examples are short but to the point, and they are published in good intervals so that Hoxhunt doesn't become spam itself. Very useful training tool.

Cons

I am not able to think of anything that is missing or should be improved
