CyberHoot Reviews
Pros
Excellent Cyber Security training solution for any organization at a great price.
We want to offer security awareness training to each of our clients, and this platform makes it easy and effective.
Cons
Our staff someimtes complain that the quizes are difficult.
Compared to other solutions, they can be difficult and sometimes tricky. Cyberhoot allows us to customize the questions, but this can take some time.
"Easy to administer and sell. Training is engaging and user friendly."
Overall: We want to offer security awareness training to each of our clients, and this platform makes it easy and effective.
Pros: Ease of deployment. It is simple; not a lot of options/choices to make.
Cons: Azure Active Directory sync would be great to have in place for every client of ours, but it has been a bit difficult to deploy. I hope this is is easier to do going forward.
"Wonderful Product for Introductory Security Awareness Training "
Overall: I have migrated almost all customers who previously used competing platforms to Cyberhoot as it is a platform that offers high returns with ease of use as opposed to other platforms in the market
Pros: This product is easy to setup with useful integrations. Support and customer service is out standing. Education based phishing and training are more beneficial than standard attack based phishing Automation allows admins to easily manage multiple customers and users. Good selection of relevant training topics and phishing templates General reporting which helps track compliance for users and modules
Cons: Detailed reporting could be added Additional templates to use for phishing would be helpful Customization is limited with phishing
Vendor Response
"Solid product with AWESOME support"
Overall: Excellent. Easy to set up and maintain, does the job, and is very cost effective.
Pros: Support is excellent and very responsive.
Cons: Training content is effective but could be a bit better.
"Cyberhoot The GREAT"
Overall: Generally speaking, our clients come to use for a training platform after a security incident or as part of HIPAA compliance or Cyber Insurance obligations - and it meets those needs outstandingly! I love Cyberhoot's support team and have seen them make changes at our request to help with various challenges - they are responsive and ready to help!
Pros: I like how easy Cyberhoot is to deploy for a new client and to manage ongoing. I can setup a new tenant in about 30 minutes or less and have it run the rest of the year with little fuss or management. Its easy to train our clients to manage it themselves (when they want that). I love how much content they add regularly and I want to highlight their new Phishing Training which is a guided "tour" of several phishing emails with interactive sections to highlight common things to look for (such as urgency, misspelled words, incorrect sender addresses) - with a standard phishing simulation you risk users simply missing the test email - but with this guided training you know 100% of your staff completed this course and learned the valuable information it contained!
Cons: That more of our clients dont use it! It saves our MSP time and money - when a client's staff have better cyber security awareness it means less helpdesk tickets for compromised email accounts or virus removal.
"Excellent Cyber Security training solution for any organization at a great price"
Pros: Cyberhoot's autopilot soution makes it dead simple to deploy a good, functional training for our staff. What once tooks weeks to plan an annual cyber secuirty training and phishing simulations, now takes no time at all. Onboarding our staff was a breeze with their Google Workspace or Microsoft O365 integration. Our staff really enjoy how easy it is to access the training. They simply click the link in their email, no sign in required. Their video library consits of freely available youtube videos, so there are plenty to choose from. Dark web scans are a nice bonus. They have a hosted GoPhish phishing toolkit that allows us to send simulated phishing emails to see how well our training is working. This works beauitfully, but I wish it allowed for the creation of email templates or offered more templates.
Cons: Cyberhoot is able to keep their prices down because a lot of their training videos and material are freely available on Youtube and not customized. They only have a handful of Cyberhoot branded videos. They focus more on the solution than the material. This isn't a big deal for us, but it would be nice if all the videos had the same branding and look and feel. Because of this, some videos are better than others. I'm pretty sure the video they selected for AI security was generated by AI... It's not great. Our staff someimtes complain that the quizes are difficult. Compared to other solutions, they can be difficult and sometimes tricky. Cyberhoot allows us to customize the questions, but this can take some time. Also, their API is only available to MSPs.
