"Was a Great platform with powerful tools and reporting!Partner support significantly lacking."

1/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

I liked the ease of onboarding, the templates, and the robust reporting functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I feel the hook security platform needs some UI updating in the partner portal. In addition customer support has gotten really bad. No proactive communication on potential contract renewal, account was completely disabled which affected our own clients. Then when problem was rectified wasnt told my agreement had been renewed without our consent. This issue led to big issues and us wanting to terminate the agreement but being told we were bound by the terms so have to be forced to be a continued partner with an organization that lost its way as they have grown.

""Small Town" feel, "Big City" features"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

I like the methodology of the training material. Hook isn't focused on the "haha, gotchya, and you're a terrible risk in our organization" -- they're focused on the "let's learn together how to become more security-aware". To get employees to participate in the training, they have two methods - humorous and more formal - to match your Org's culture. I was very thoughouly onboarded by one dedicated person who built a customized task list with videos which helped tremendously. After using and demoing several competitors, I feel 100% comfortable recommending Hook to others. While they're a "smaller" company at the time of writing, that doesn't stop them from having all of the "big" company features, plus some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I have yet to find any downsides to using Hook. Unlike bigger competitors, you are not treated as "just another number". I feel like my business is valued and appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hook Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

According to our Baseline Testing, Hook is solving a 60% "fail rate" in our organization. The solution contains fully customizable Phishing Attack Simulations and customizable landing pages, and "Hooked" pages to fit what I want to accomplish. Their creative templates fuel me to formulate examples that one user in our Organization called "Genius". She said, "After many cybersecurity trainings, with previous organizations, I still fell for it!" Hook also offers Training campaigns that contain helpful tips and tricks we're sending out to employees. Additionally, we're utilizing their high quality annual training with our Organization.

"Superb tool and support"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The ease of use and the huge selection of real world phishing templates. Pretty straightforward integration with auth systems. Great support staff, quick response questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Not many downsides that I've found. I think the training sessions would be more useful if they were tailored to the specifics of the phishing email. They are a bit generic. Addressing the parts of the particular email that were red flags would be more helpful to the user in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
