The answer, as recorded

For most remote teams I'd pick **Hoxhunt**. Go with **KnowBe4** if compliance coverage matters most, or **Huntress** if you're a small business with no one to run the program. The details: 1. **Hoxhunt**: best if you want employees to actually change behaviour without much admin work. It sends adaptive phishing simulations and gives short training right after someone clicks, with game-like scoring to keep people engaged. Hoxhunt says it rates 4.8/5 from about 3,700 G2 reviews, versus 4.6 for KnowBe4. That works well for remote staff, who do training on their own time. Note that the ranking comes from Hoxhunt's own blog. https://hoxhunt.com/blog/best-security-awareness-training · https://www.g2.com/compare/hoxhunt-vs-knowbe4-security-awareness-training 2. **KnowBe4**: the safe, standard choice. It has the biggest content library (over 1,000 modules), deep compliance coverage, and integrations with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and HR systems. The downsides are higher cost and the need for someone to plan campaigns and review results regularly. https://hoxhunt.com/blog/knowbe4-competitors · https://www.valtikstudios.com/blog/security-awareness-training-buyer-guide-2026 3. **Adaptive Security**: best if you worry about attacks beyond email. Remote teams often get hit by fake voice calls, texts and deepfake video calls pretending to be a manager, and Adaptive simulates all of these alongside email. It's newer and backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund. Its claim to be the only platform that combines all these channels is its own marketing. https://www.adaptivesecurity.com/security-awareness-training · https://www.adaptivesecurity.com/phishing-simulations 4. **Huntress Managed Security Awareness Training**: best for small businesses or companies without a dedicated security person. Huntress runs the program for you with story-style training episodes and phishing tests, and prices are set up for small teams. It also covers compliance training, such as NYDFS. https://www.huntress.com/platform/security-awareness-training · https://www.huntress.com/cybersecurity-training-guide/remote-work-cybersecurity-training-protecting-your-team-beyond-the-office 5. **Proofpoint ZenGuide**: worth it mainly if you already use Proofpoint for email security. The training then runs on the same system that filters your email. https://hoxhunt.com/blog/knowbe4-competitors 6. **SoSafe**: the pick for EU-based or GDPR-sensitive organizations, since it hosts data in a GDPR-compliant way by default. https://hoxhunt.com/blog/best-security-awareness-training **What to look for with remote teams:** training that people can do on their own schedule and on a phone, content about home networks and personal devices, and phishing tests over text and voice as well as email. Offices get some of this informally, but remote staff don't. One caveat: many of the "best of" lists I found are written by the vendors themselves, including Hoxhunt, Adaptive and Huntress. I'd run a free trial or pilot with two finalists, such as Hoxhunt and KnowBe4, and compare how often employees report phishing.
