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.

The entire suite does well to accommodate any compliance training needs my organization has. It is easy to configure, maintain, and create reporting on. We have it enabled to be managed by our HR team for HR related trainings and our tech admins oversee any other requirements that our teams may have. Overall a solid product.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Easy to find training modules
  • Modules are short enough to keep user attention span
  • Material within those modules are easy to understand
  • The quizzes aren't stressful to the point of fearing to fail
  • Content stays fresh, modules retire and new ones that are updated are released

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.

  • perhaps some pre-built content packages as template starters would be helpful
  • some better explanation of what features exist in which places and how they work
  • content customization of what topics I want under my eyes and which I do not - to cut down on the selections ("Do not show this again" or "Hide this" or "Save as a Favorite")
  • more functionality to save content topics into personal collections for later use

Usability
it is very easy to use. it is clear and provides information as to why the type of email is one to look out for. It automatically takes you to the required information when you have spotted that it is a Hoxhunt email.

From the admin side, the layout of KnowBe4 Compliance Plus is very user friendly and allows you to setup what is needed when it comes to different trainings, automatically assigning trainings to users if they've failed simulations, etc. The reporting makes it easy to identify who might need additional training. For the users, the interface clearly shows what trainings have been assigned and the deadline to complete those trainings, lets you know what trainings have already been complete, etc. It lays it out very simple to make it easy to understand for everyone.

Reliability and Availability

It's always available. We have rarely encountered any issues at all. The fact that we have an assigned account manager, ensures we are getting very rapid responses and acknowledgement. This person quickly escalates any issues to the technical team and we usually get a resolution within a day or two

Everything loads quite rapidly, and this has never been an issue. The automated summary reports that are sent to me remove me from even having to go run them. I love this platform. It's changed the way I work, and we have used a few different platforms in the past. Anybody looking should look no further. This is the best! Forget the rest.

Our Customer Success Manager is amazingly helpful and responsive. She meets with us every month to go over new features and help us with campaigns. Also, when we email her with questions, she usually turns around an answer in a couple of hours and never longer than a day. KnowBe4 Compliance Plus has dedicated people who really take care of their customers after the sale.

Alternatives Considered
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

KnowBe4 has cornered the market on phishing simulation training, but their real gem is their training platform. The platform is super easy to setup, manage, and has great automation tools. Makes management trivial and if for some reason you do have an issue, their support team is top notch and will help you solve any problem or use case you might need

We love the variety of training available. The training is available in available in numerous languages for our international business. There is always new training is constantly being released. Our users find the training entertaining yet informative. We love pushing out training on a monthly basis and making it smaller chunks. This really resonates with our busy employees. It's great that we have so much selection and that it is broken down in small chunks. I get excited when I see new training. It really gives me comfort knowing that KnowBe4 is staying on top of current and evolving trends, and rapidly releasing content. AI is occurring almost everywhere we look these days, and it's great to see freshly released content coming out a very regular basis. Being able to target different divisions within our organization with targeted job specific training is a game changer. We even have our board of directors taking training designed for executives. The tracking and the reporting also really help show the improvement, and those that need more work. The fact that we can automate training that are launched when users start within our organization also eliminated the need for manual intervention, giving me my time back as an administrator

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • The time saved looking for, reviewing, distributing and tracking learning/training sessions has greatly reduced as we moved to KnowBe4 Compliance Plus Dashboard. Everything is in one place and new content comes out often.
  • Individualized, train at your own pace, sessions have been a big plus for our employees. No more sitting in a classroom with others. They can now do it whenever it fits their schedule/workload.
