Chose Hoxhunt
Darktrace is more advantageous as it blocks emails as well as attachments.
Chose Hoxhunt
I didn't use any other products, except for dull internal trainings in every company I've worked for the last 7 years.
Chose Hoxhunt
My only experience is with internal IT attempts to stimulate phishing, which were not as effective.
Chose Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt is more tailored to make individuals the first line of defense against email security threats.
Chose Hoxhunt
Because my company would like to use Hoxhunt so I used it too. Anyway, I found Hoxhunt nice and impressive helper. Hoxhunt is be like my assistant to help me filter the suspect email, prevent me from virus from email and train me to be actively as well.
Chose Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt has been in place for several years with organization and is utilized in nearly 26 metropolitan locations.
Chose Hoxhunt
Unfortunately I wasn't involved into comparing of products with similar to Hoxhunt functionality: I'm just a user.
Chose Hoxhunt
I haven't used any product before this.
Chose Hoxhunt
It is not within my scope to evaluate other products that provide the same service as Hoxhunt.
Chose Hoxhunt
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 …
Chose Hoxhunt
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.
Chose Hoxhunt
My company only provides Hoxhunt. No other option was provided to me.
Chose Hoxhunt
I have not tried any other such products before
Chose Hoxhunt
We dont use another products like Hoxhunt and to be honest, I don't know other products like this.
Chose Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt allows the user to be the primary threat detector by teaching the user how to identify threats. Symantec's service only addresses its databases and not end-user training.
Chose Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt contains are very good in this field and can compete with other training sites easily
Chose Hoxhunt
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.

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.

  • Training Packages - They cover a wide range of topics that spam emails, social media and physical security such as USB sticks
  • 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.

Cons
  • It would be nice to be able to customize templates even more and brand them.
  • Automatic course enrollment for new employees should be simplified.
  • Interface could be more streamlined.

  • 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.

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

Return on Investment
  • Ease of enrollment for training new users.
  • Monthly email campaign to test our users.
  • Getting clients to address the fundamentals of cyber security in short and capture behavioral data.

  • I have been able to identify and report 3 real scam emails thanks to Hoxhunt.
  • Unfortunately I have no data of the overall company's benefit with regards to the use of Hoxhunt.
  • The training has also been helpful to me in my personal email. I think that helps with work productivity, because I haven't been in the situation where I'm worrying about having been scammed outside of work.
