Frequently Asked Questions.

Yes, Adaptive Security is a strong Hoxhunt alternative for teams that need deeper content control and native AI capabilities. Organizations often switch when Hoxhunt’s third-party deepfake tools, limited editing options, or template-driven simulations can’t keep up with their training requirements.
Yes. Adaptive Security competes with Hoxhunt because both platforms offer security awareness training and phishing simulations. However, they both operate differently. Hoxhunt highlights gamification as one of its key selling points, while Adaptive Security emphasizes its customization and native use of AI through deepfake experiences in training modules and multichannel phishing simulations of AI attacks. Other alternatives in this space include KnowBe4, Proofpoint, and Cofense.
Adaptive Security provides more extensive AI-driven simulation capabilities, delivers simulations across more channels, and is significantly easier to use. While both platforms offer AI-powered phishing simulations, Adaptive supports multiple attack vectors—including email, SMS, and phone calls—giving organizations a far more realistic training environment. Adaptive’s native generative AI also creates fully unique scenarios from simple text prompts and includes built-in deepfake tools for voice and video attacks. Hoxhunt, while offering personalized phishing emails, relies on third-party providers for deepfake functionality, which adds implementation complexity and limits channel coverage.
Both Adaptive Security and Hoxhunt offer behavioral analytics, but Adaptive delivers a far more comprehensive and executive-ready reporting ecosystem. In addition to board-level risk scoring and executive-level reporting, Adaptive includes a dedicated Executive Risk Monitoring solution—giving leadership continuous visibility into emerging risks, behavioral trends, and high-priority exposure areas. Hoxhunt does not offer anything comparable. While Hoxhunt focuses primarily on operational metrics like reporting rates, miss rates, and click-through rates with basic industry benchmarking, Adaptive provides all of that as well—plus 35+ prebuilt, export-ready reports and automated email reporting cadences that make ongoing visibility effortless.
Yes. Adaptive Security provides significantly more advanced customization than Hoxhunt for organizations that need full control over their security awareness program. Adaptive allows complete editing freedom across every element of a training module—text, images, video, quizzes, and more. Its phishing simulations are fully customizable as well, from the message itself to the failure page and micro-learning moment. With Adaptive, you can generate entirely new modules from simple prompts using AI or build simulations from scratch without any template constraints. Hoxhunt, by contrast, offers customization only within predefined structures and relies on user-provided source materials, limiting how precisely you can tailor content to industry-specific threats.

Human security for the AI era.
