Hoxhunt vs. ThreatAdvice Educate

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.

The information is timely and allows us to keep our employees apprised of the risks that are out there - before they become an issue for us. The system has allowed us to stay in front of current threats and provide testing of our users to determine that they are indeed not falling for phishing attempts.

• 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.

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.

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

The two programs are comparable - we chose ThreatAdvice Educate because of their superior support staff - as well as tie ins to other services that they offer that compliment this. The system keeps our users current and support is easily available for any issues that arise. We have been happy with that choice.
