Hoxhunt** - my default pick if the goal is genuinely changing behavior rather than checking a box. Adaptive, gamified phishing simulations with instant feedback, and it's the highest-rated platform in the category (4.8/5 across ~3,685 G2 reviews, ahead of KnowBe4's 4.6). Engagement is the hard part with remote staff who can ignore a training email forever, and this is the one built around that problem. Custom-quote pricing, so expect a sales call. ([hoxhunt.com](https://hoxhunt.com/blog/best-security-awareness-training), [selecthub.com](https://www.selecthub.com/security-awareness-training-software/hoxhunt-vs-knowbe4-security-awareness-training/))\n\n**2. Riot** - the best fit specifically for remote-first companies without a dedicated security team. Training is delivered through a chatbot inside Slack and Microsoft Teams rather than email, which matters a lot when your team lives in Slack and has no office. ~20+ short scenario-based courses (CEO fraud, spear phishing), year-round phishing sims, and they claim the highest completion rates in the category.
