Overall Satisfaction with Hoxhunt

Our organization uses Hoxhunt to train us to spot malicious emails. Some of the Hoxhunt emails are tricky as they appear to originate from a coworker. Because of the training I have received at work, I have become attuned to potential threats and inspect my emails carefully both from my work and personal accounts. I feel equipped now to spot the culprits and I appreciate that my organization has invested not only in its security but also in mine. Hoxhunt is a great tool to inform and educate its audience about potential cyber threats. Hoxhunt is so much better than stale security videos in monotone dialogue. I get a Hoxhunt email every couple of weeks and they are very creative!

Pros

  • Makes me think it’s real
  • Measures my progress in levels - with each lesson completed, I receive confirmation of successfully identifying a fake email
  • Educates the user to the potential threat in well-defined examples

Cons

  • Sometimes the email is easy to spot as there are over 500 people in our organization and I don’t have any work interaction with that person’s department. I would be less suspicious of an email from a coworker in my department.
  • I’m not able to measure that due to my role at our company.
  • I do know it is well received by my coworkers.
When we first started using Hoxhunt, I had to study the lesson layout. Ours has a dark background and sometimes it’s difficult to identify the place to click on to go to the next segment.
I am a user, not a member of IT. I like it better than the predictable videos.

Do you think Hoxhunt delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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

In a larger organization, Hoxhunt works well. We know they are coming periodically which takes a way the element of surprise. If they showed up randomly, say 2-3 in the space of a week and then none for a couple of weeks, it might throw us off which would be good. In reality you never know when trouble will show up.
