Reviews of Hoxhunt
Wonderful experience with Hoxhunt learning journey
Pros:
Hoxhunt training is a part of our organization. In day to day world every day, we receive many spam, phishing, and malware in our inboxes. Hoxhunt training included great quality testing mail for its users to identify and earn badges. That not only generates learning interest but also provides broader knowledge and competition among members of the organization to see their rank & where they stand in the smart world. In a world full of cyber-attacks this is the most essential training.
Cons:
I am not a great fan of the calculation of the time taken for reporting a Hoxhunt training mail feature, because maybe someone is busy with other activities and might report once he/she has access to mail. In that case, their rank is going down as the time of reporting as soon as a mail is received also getting calculated.
Alternatives Considered:
Hoxhunt is worth!
Comments:
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 of Security Features
Comments: Very good
Pros:
What I like about the software is that it is intuitive to the process in your everyday use of Outlook / emails. There is not alot of steps you need to make. See something, say something etc..
Cons:
Trickery - it's not necessarily bad, just that a couple times I feel like I was duped when either missing an email or deleted knowing it wasn't for me.
Protect your company by protecting yourself
Comments: It's very positive, I enjoy to use the product since about 5 years.
Pros:
Hoxhunt is a perfect security awareness increasing tool, sending users authentic-looking, but phishing emails, which require immediate actions. The most complicated thing is that emails content can be quite closer to your current situation (e.g. you will have a business trip in couple of days and suddenly receive hotel's cancellation, which was booked for you). So it's not that simple to correctly distinct what is true.
Cons:
Sometimes it can be so "real", so your blood pressure rises. "Your car on corporate parking has been scratched", "You need to pay an additional fee" and so forth.
It's useful and actully fun!
Comments: Honestly I really liked it! Something new across the boring work inbox. Starting from the "usual" training phishing and scam emails - you can report them via hoxhunt and also get a micro (but useful) explanation about what have you just reported. Later - "spicy mode" - sometimes really believable and hard to detect. Also the gamification aspect is surprisingly fun. By reporting and completing micro trainings you unlock achievements and upgrade your "shield". It's a first time I saw such mandatory thing be quite enjoyable. Nice! :)
Pros:
Explanation of security and phishing Training spotting phishing and scam Fun Now I'm paranoid of every unusual email I receive
Cons:
Dashboard takes time to find, I always forget where it is Vacation mode still sends you emails sometimes
