Hoxhunt
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.

PhishRod has helped us create mock phishing attacks throughout our company to help teach our users what to look for in a phishing attack. The ability to create custom attacks has helped tremendously because we are able to use attacks related to what we encounter on a daily basis. Creating training phishing attack emails has helped improve our overall security.

Pros
Hoxhunt
  • 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.

Cons
Hoxhunt
  • 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?

Usability
Hoxhunt
For reasons I have mentioned earlier, the content is engaging (I usually look forward / wait for the next one), it is relevant, it is timely and it is helpful. The other thing is that the tab that is added to Outlook makes reporting of suspicious activity easy. I think this is relevant for most organisations and professionals, in this day and age

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

We tested both PhishRod and Phisher for our security needs. They are similar, but in the end we feel that PhishRod was better suited for our needs. Pricing was better and the ROI as well. We are looking for a long term solution and believe we have found it in PhishRod.
