"Great & cheap solution for companies that need to train their employees on identifying email threats"

4/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

I really like the easy of use of the hook security platform. I was able to learn the platform quickly and implement the solution quickly to resolve the email security issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I wish there were more training programs for users who fail the phishing simulations. I feel as if there are only a few that I would use for phishing training specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SECURE YOUR CLIENT FROM SPAMMING & PHISHING WITH HOOK SECURITY"

4/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Hook Security provides a simple yet powerful anti-phishing, anti-spamming tool kit, which enables us to protect our potential clients from unnecessary spam attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

The training is a little extensive despite their personalized training support. Hook Security is a little challenging for beginners, but it is easy when we focus on the modules; it will be effortless to catch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly, GREAT Price, and Saved Our Butts"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

I love that Hook is so affordable and that they offer SCORM files so that I can integrate THEIR training with my LMS. It's taken a lot off of MY plate to come up with and keep a training program updated. Plus, the Phishing Simulations are GREAT with landing pages that allow you to see if your user will type in information. It is invaluable to know if your user will not only click the link (no-no) but ALSO extend data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

I wish the auto reporting feature was a little more flexible. I'd like to be able to one time set up the report and have it auto run to my email on a specified day. Don't get me wrong, they have reporting that will do it, I just don't need as much information as it gives, so being able to fine-tune it for us would be really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've had one security breach, another user out $500 from a gift card scam, and we still have users that click links occasionally. What Hook really does for us is allow us a glimpse into whether our cyber awareness program is working or not. We train with their files, but the phishing simulations tell us whether it's working or not. We're better than we started out, but occasionally we still have users click, so clearly it's a necessary program and we'll continue on with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Entertaining, bite-sized training employees love, and testing I love!"

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

With Hook Security, they take the time to help with any questions I have. We switched from one of the largest security awareness training providers because we wanted one that made us feel like we mattered to them. Of course, the requirement was that the training had to be good. If the users didn't pay attention to it, what is the use? But they love it! We get a lot more discussion on security topics now that we've used Hook. Happy since the spring of 2021! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

There isn't much to dislike. If I were going to nitpick, I'd comment on the look and feel of the admin portal. Though I can't come up with a better way to display so much information... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome product for our users and great people to work with"

5/5

The best part of Hook is that the product works. Our users have significantly improved over the last nine months of tests. The portal makes it super easy to get reports and drill down into specifics. Also, the people at Hook have been great to work with. They respond to all our requests in a timely manner and seek to help us solve any issue that pops up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Getting hooked here is much safer than in the "real" world"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

Hook provides a variety of templates to safely "force" clients to learn to avoid phishing and scam attacks. We've had clients who callously click on anything and everything, resulting in deleterious effects which affected the entire company and their clients. Hook provides a safe way to train users to become more aware. Combined with policy controls from the company, the solution results in a much more educated user base that is much more mindful and aware of the dangers in cyber space. The training videos at the end of each test provides short and accurate training to make the end-user much more aware Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

It would be nice to be able to customize templates even more and brand them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hook Security:

A definite must for remote and office-based employees who may not be protected behind a robust firewall that filters out attacks and DNS filtering which steers traffic away from potential attacks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Much fewer incidences of successful spam and phishing attacks and a much more educated clientele Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hook Security has provided excellent support while transitioning our clients to their platform."

5/5

What do you like best about Hook Security?

The most helpful thing about Hook Security so far has been working with Amanda. She answers all questions in a timely fashion and with great detail. She made the process of onboarding clients and using the portal painless, and in return, I can dedicate more time to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hook Security?

Having to add new allowed list entries each month for new campaign domains can potentially be time-consuming if you have many clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hook Security:

If you're looking for quality training courses that aren't overbearing and phish tests for your organization or clients you service without taking up too much of your time, Hook Security is a great fit. They also meet the criteria required by many cyber insurance companies regarding security training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem I had before signing on with Hook Security was having to dedicate too much time to creating and scheduling phishing test campaigns. I also had to manually create tickets as reminders for when phishing campaigns closed to communicate reporting with clients. Hook Security handles all campaign creation, scheduling, and reporting is automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
