Overall Satisfaction with Hoxhunt

I use it as a tool to practice my security skills and identify phishing scams or other tactics in spam mail. It helps to provide good tests for me on a regular basis where I am consistently ensuring I am following the appropriate procedures for handling suspicious emails. It gets me into the mind set that I need to constantly be vigilant and always follow the protocols outlined in the material whenever suspicion arises.
  • Create tricky spam mails
  • Motivates me to try to be vigilant with my security practices
  • Teaches me about various tactics used by scammers and how to avoid them
  • The ability to change the frequency might be useful
  • Other types of real world tests outside of just spam mail
  • The ability to dig deeper into content around security
  • The fake spam mails
  • The summary and teachable moment after identifying a spam mail
  • The gamified system for advancing
  • Helped people to avoid spam mail
  • Helped people to detect potential fraud
  • Kept team members vigilant and in the security mindset
It was very different and more of a hands off type of security approach. I didn't use it all that much but when I did it was not really similar at all. I didn't have the experience in terms of checking for test emails that would come through or the gamification that Hoxhunt has.

Do you think Hoxhunt delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Hoxhunt's feature set?

Yes

Did Hoxhunt live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Hoxhunt go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Hoxhunt again?

Yes

It is well suited in my opinion for anyone who is in a position where they may need to practice their ability to understand when an email may be spam, as well as what they should do in terms of protecting themselves when those situations arise. It is less appropriate for users who are more or less security experts and have ample experience with phishing attacks or other email scams.
