Cofense LMS vs. Hoxhunt

LMS is a more appropriate choice to be used if the organization is large and has multiple verticals where the trainings differ to a great etent from vertical to another vertical. However if the company is a small scale org with limited hierarchy, any open source portal is enough to serve the purpose.

If emails are used for confidential communication, Hoxhunt is a HUGE benefit. I have caught myself feeling lax over emailing and clicking links. Hoxhunt makes you really evaluate safety and legitimacy of the emails that are received. We even have laughs about it at staff meetings where staff admit to getting "hoxhunted" and clicking a fake link.

• Training Packages - They cover a wide range of topics that spam emails, social media and physical security such as USB sticks
• Achievements as incentives - The gaming style of collecting achievements and stars for reporting emails or completing training incentivizes people to engage in a consistent and enthusiastic way.
• Training Emails - They are able to replicate phishing emails in a realistic way, so it isn't easy to spot straight away meaning we now look at every email with a critical eye which makes us safer.

• I wish you could report emails without having to open them.
• It's hard to have access to your dashboard except when you're reporting an email.
• Would be nice if you kept us informed of other trends in cybercrime in addition email scams.
• I'd like to learn more about deep fakes and if there's a way to protect oneself... Is there a way to detect those?

it is very easy to use. it is clear and provides information as to why the type of email is one to look out for. It automatically takes you to the required information when you have spotted that it is a Hoxhunt email.

Cofense LMS works well at our environment due to it well know security awareness training without any complications. Ease to get support documentations & end users feedback. While in MetaCompliance Support & documentation was not that easy for end users.

Symantec was something I used in my previous company, it had some issues once in a while where I had to re-generate the code for my new ID. I know its for over all protection, but if I didn't have my phone that day, I'd be unable to log in. Hoxhunt helps that way as there is a SSO authentication and needs the fingerprint, I guess it works different for different companies based on their regulations and privacy protection. Haven't really used any other tool like this
