Hoxhunt
I almost clicked on an email once that said my Instagram was going to be deactivated, then when I checked the email address it was just another scammer trying to create a legitimate email to get people to click on it. Thanks to Hoxhunt, even personally I'm very careful about what emails to open or click on.

If you are already using KnowBe4 for Security and awareness training this is a no brainer for a security boost and reduction of alerts to the it department for simulations. If you have a more advance email security platform like Abnormal Security this may not be a good fit, but then the cost is pennies in comparison.

Pros
Hoxhunt
  • 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.

  • Phish Alert Button makes the email reporting process very easy, we just need to install the plug-in to end-user's outlook and then in a few clicks, they can report any email and that will go to the KnowBe4 PhishER inbox for investigation.
  • The inbuilt AI feature PhishML of KnowBe4 PhishER helps us to analyze the reported emails very quickly and easily as it already categorizes the emails and provides tags like Clean, Spam, and Threat.
  • PhishRIP query is a very good feature to run a query and quarantine the suspicious emails that have reached to the end-users inboxes.
  • With the help of PhishFlip, we can convert a real phishing campaign to a simulated phishing test and test our users.
  • Third-party tool integration is good as we can add them to take full advantage of applications that can help us to analyze the reported emails more efficiently like VirusTotal.

Cons
Hoxhunt
  • 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.

  • When customizing simulated phishing campaign emails the ability to add a upload a custom image would be helpful.
  • Some of the menu options take a bit to get used to - not as intuitive as I'd like. You select a user, then you can choose from a different menu to add them to a group. Once you know, it is not difficult - but not as easy as it should be.

Phish ER has reduced the time my team and I spend on reported emails by over 80%. With the volume of emails reported and a small team this is a must have.

Usability
Hoxhunt
For reasons I have mentioned earlier, the content is engaging (I usually look forward / wait for the next one), it is relevant, it is timely and it is helpful. The other thing is that the tab that is added to Outlook makes reporting of suspicious activity easy. I think this is relevant for most organisations and professionals, in this day and age

The configuration is a bit complicated, but easy once you get the hang of it. Once configured, it is easy to manage our malicious emails that are reported by our staff.

KnowBe4 PhishER has a lot of features that other companied does not have. Its AI capability, integration with VirusTotal, PhishRIP and PhishFlip features make it totally different from other solutions. Its Phish Alert Button directly installed on users Outlook without affecting them and the reporting technique is very simple, just clicking on the Phish Alert Button and the email will be directly reported to the KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard. KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard is a very good example of centralized dashboard where you can find all things related to that reported email.

  • It has greatly increased phishing / security awareness by our staff by having a designated button & process for reporting phishing emails
  • It provides greater protection through the ability to delete emails from multiple recipients even if not all of them reported the email
  • It saves time for me to have to evaluate whether or not an email reported is a real threat through the ML/AI/VirusTotal scores
