Overall Satisfaction with Hoxhunt

My workplace uses Hoxhunt to train employees how to identify phishing and other scam emails that could potentially be dangerous if clicked on. Hoxhunt sends an email to me every so often that resembles one of these dangerous emails, and it is my task to identify it and report it. Then Hoxhunt goes through an explanation and teaches me how to identify what to look for in dangerous emails so that I can more easily identify them. I, along with other employees, are much more prepared for when a real phishing attempt threatens our workplace. We will be able to identify and report it instead of falling for it and clicking on the link.

Pros

  • Sending emails at regular intervals to keep me engaged and aware of phishing attempts
  • Identifying different types of dangerous emails
  • Teaching me what to do when I come across dangerous emails.

Cons

  • More training opportunities - The Hoxhunt page itself only has a few training modules which I have completed already
  • An even spicier spicy mode - Scammers are always evolving, so I want to be able to identify the toughest phishing attempts.
  • Eliminate "missed" emails. Sometimes I don't read my inbox right away. I don't think emails should count as "missed" just because I didn't report it within a few days.
  • This is not applicable.
I have never used another product like Hoxhunt. This is what makes it stand out to me. It is very unique and helpful that I think every business should use it.

Hoxhunt has effectively trained me how to identify phishing and other scam emails. When I started out, I would occasionally click on the training emails thinking they were legit. Over time, Hoxhunt has taught me what to look for and how to identify malicious emails. Now I am confident that I will be able to identify real malicious emails and not put my company at risk.
