Why Tartan wins

Why K-12 Teams Choose Tartan

Hoxhunt says it's built for enterprise. We built Tartan only for schools, and it trains students as well as staff.

  • Staff Sync From Google Workspace

    Hoxhunt's Google Workspace guide adds users through SCIM from Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, or Ping, or by CSV upload. SCIM doesn't start training for new users on its own. Tartan syncs staff straight from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

  • Set Up in Under 30 Minutes

    That's how long most schools take, and onboarding is free. If you need help, our median support response is 13 minutes. Hoxhunt says most teams are live in under two weeks.

  • Training for Staff and Students

    Hoxhunt's pages speak to employees, and hoxhunt.com has no page for schools or students (as of October 2026). Tartan sells Student Phishing & Video Training, designed mainly for middle and high school students.

  • Simulations Staff Will Recognize

    Tartan simulations mimic emails from the services your school uses, with AI-generated templates and difficulty that adapts to each person.
