My experience with Hoxhunt has been positive and very engaging. The platform delivers security awareness training in a practical and intercative manner which makes learning both effective and memorable. The content quality is also topnotch. The simulations are realistic and varied, helping employees recognize different types of phishing attempts and other cyber threats. Also, the gamified approach keeps user motivated, encouraging consistent participation rather than one time compliance.

    A modern, user-friendly Security Awareness Solution that elevates employee's participation and Reporting

    4.0
    Nov 25, 2025
    The overall experience with Hoxhunt is quite impressive. Our users are praising its gaming training model to increase the participation and for each reporting email Hoxhunt gives us stars and badges and shares the scores and makes phishing awareness more fun. The simulated emails are quite impressive and very realistic according to hoxhunt. The hoxhunt button helps us to report phishing emails and spam emails. Hoxhunt is far better than others, the integration of hoxhunt with other platforms like outlook and MS tools is very easy. Overall, it's been a good experience with Hoxhunt and its support team for past 1 year.

Hoxhunt Likes & Dislikes

Like

One of the standout aspects of Hoxhunt is how it makes security awareness training both engaging and practical. The platform trains users in real time. Also each simulation provides instant guidance. Reporting suspicious emails is simple and intuitive. Organizations can track improvements in employee awareness and resilience against phishing attacks over time.

Like

They are realistic and relevant

Like

The product is very interactive, reporting any email that looks like playing a game. The dashboard gives clear, actionable insights where you can see the users who need more phishing awareness training. Hoxhunt support team is very responsive and from time to time send the hoxhunt notification emails with updates pending training etc. I really like the realistic simulation emails which are quite impressive. The deployment of the tools with outlook and other browsers is very easy. Training is very good and helps users to report suspicious emails which enhances the count of reporting recipients.

Dislike

When people share constructive feedback about Hoxhunt the most common dislikes tend to be around a few areas. Like people feel the phishing simulations arrive too often, which can be disruptive to daily work. While the training is realistic certain examples may feel generic or not tailored to specific industries making them less impactful. A few users mention that reporting simulated emails can feel repetitive.

Dislike

Simulations can be too easy

Dislike

The two thing i personally not like in hoxhunt are: 1) You cannot report multiple emails at a time. When I select multiple emails and try to report then it shows to select one by one and report it. 2) Sometimes the hoxhunt button takes time to open, after reporting emails, the button keeps processing and after 5 sec later it will display the reporting options some time.
