A consultative evaluation guide for security teams

Doppel vs. Hoxhunt

Hoxhunt turns security awareness into a game. Doppel builds your employees’ defenses.

What is Hoxhunt?

Hoxhunt is a human risk management platform focused on email phishing simulations, security awareness training, employee reporting, and behavior change through gamification.

Best for

Organizations seeking an email-first security awareness program that emphasizes frequent personalized simulations, positive reinforcement, multilingual delivery, and employee participation.

Where they're a strong fit

Hoxhunt is a strong fit for security awareness teams that prioritize gamification. Its personalized phishing program, leaderboards, reporting experience, and short-form training can help organizations build an active reporting culture, particularly where email is the primary employee communication channel.

Where buyers tell us they fall short

  • Buyers with broader social engineering exposure may find that Hoxhunt’s simulation capabilities are strongest in email, with more limited coverage beyond email.
  • Certain simulation channels may be more limited. Validate direct voice phishing simulations, smishing capabilities, and collaboration-tool coverage against your program needs.
  • Campaigns are personalized through templates and employee profiles, but are not directly informed by active external threats targeting the organization and detected by HoxHunt.
  • Organizations may also need separate products for brand impersonation, executive targeting, malicious domains, social scams, and attacker infrastructure disruption.

Doppel vs. Hoxhunt feature comparison

Doppel
HOXHUNT
Multi-channel simulations
Simulates realistic attacks across email, voice calls, SMS, Telegram, Microsoft Teams Meetings, Zoom Meetings, QR codes, and chained attack scenarios. Supports live AI voice agents, deepfake voice, and multi-step attack flows that are designed to reflect real-world campaigns.
Limited. Strong email phishing simulations with limited support beyond email. Validate direct voice phishing simulations, smishing capabilities, and collaboration-tool coverage against your program needs.
AI-generated simulation campaigns
Vibe Phishing Simulation lets security teams create simulations with a natural-language prompt. Campaigns, landing pages, voice scripts, and messages are generated automatically and can be tailored by role, department, current events, and organizational context.
Yes. Strong personalization engine that adapts simulations to employees over time. Campaigns are primarily generated from existing templates and historical user behavior rather than active threat intelligence.
Training content & personalization
Library of hundreds of video, interactive, and immersive courses, plus AI Content Builder for creating custom training contents quickly. Organizations can upload internal documents to automatically generate branded courses tailored to their environment.
Limited. Robust learning experience with personalized micro-training, gamification, and multilingual content that adjusts to employee performance over time. Custom training course-building capabilities may be more limited for organization-wide deployment.
Threat-informed recommendations
Simulations and training recommendations are informed by real attacker activity observed across Doppel's Digital Risk Protection platform, allowing organizations to prepare employees for the tactics currently targeting their company, industry, and executives.
Limited. Recommendations are based on employee behavior and phishing outcomes rather. Doppel adds external attacker context from its DRP platform.
Risk signal ingestion
Combines simulation performance with signals from the broader security stack—including identity, endpoint, email security, and external exposure—to prioritize risk, tailor training, and guide remediation.
Limited. Strong behavioral analytics centered on training participation, reporting behavior, and phishing performance, but limited ingestion of external security telemetry.
Unified social engineering defense
Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management, and Email Security work together in one platform, connecting external attacker activity, threats reaching employee inboxes, and human risk signals. This shared intelligence helps teams identify real-world attack patterns, strengthen employee resilience, and take action against the infrastructure behind attacks.
Not supported. Organizations looking to connect employee risk with external threat detection, inbox-level protection, and infrastructure disruption may require additional security products and vendors.
Customer experience
Combines an agentic platform with dedicated solution architects and social engineering experts who help customers build simulations, develop custom training, and operationalize human risk programs.
Yes. Strong customer success organization with guided onboarding and best practices for deploying awareness programs. Customers generally retain primarily responsibility for designing and managing their own security awareness strategy.

What Doppel customers say

“Doppel fundamentally changed how we think about human risk. It’s not just about running better simulations; it’s about testing how attacks actually happen across channels. The Microsoft Teams simulation campaign showed us where our real exposure was, and gave us a way to measure and improve it. That’s the difference between a program that looks good on paper and one that actually reduces risk.”
