"Pluralsight is my "goto" resource for video training on technical subjects"

Comments: Keeping up with ever changing technology is very difficult, Pluralsight makes it tolerable to learn new content in a fun and engaging way.

Pros: The vast brethren of available computer courses is amazing on Pluralsight. There are literally thousands of courses to choose from, including old technologies and cutting edge-new technologies. The courses are all professionally done and I haven't found one yet that wasn't worth watching.

Cons: The content is mainly technically focused. On some other learning sites (like Lynda.com) there are some non-technical courses available (soft skills like presenting or public speaking for instance).

"Good Software"

Comments: I have managed to upgrade my skills and track my progress

Pros: The features that I love most are:
- Skills Assessment - which is a test that you take when beginning a study path and you can take again along the way to assess your progress.

Cons: It is very difficult to manage different learning paths

"Learning Made Easy"

Comments: Pluralsight helped onboard me to a new job with a new company in record time. I feel confident about my skills, and have already taken on projects using the learned skills.

Pros: Pluralsight has made my transition into this position seamless. Their learning paths provide straightforward, well, paths for the concepts necessary to each concept. With course code examples provided, interactive discussions with the course instructors, and fully interactive courses, it provides a learning environment for everyone.

Cons: Some of the courses are getting a little long in the tooth, but they've been replacing many very recently.

"Bring the training at your home. It is very affordable"

Comments: For the price of an half day of class room training, you get access to a whole breadth of IT related trainings. Some of them are really great.

Pros: Many subjects available. Can watch video's whenever I like

Cons: Lots of high level overview trainings (e.g. on Azure Data Platform). I find it hard to find more focused, concrete trainings

"Stay informed and relevant"

Pros: Pluralsight offers an easy to use platform that enables you to learn new things, level up your skills, and stay up to date on the latest technologies and products used by businesses today. Lecture downloads are also a great way to take lessons with you on the go.

Cons: I would love to see more quizzes and knowledge checks for all courses.

"This is a great training tool for anyone in technology."

Comments: It's help me grow in my career and keep up with the technical skills I need to do my job.

Pros: Pluralsight allows our teams to get up to speed on the latest technologies. It's also allowed us to assess where we are as far as technical knowledge and where to focus our training efforts on.

Cons: The tools for group learning are in their early stage. There's a bit more work that needs to be done to make it a more collaborative experience.

"Pluralsight for students"

Pros: My prif said used this a secondary source to learn content for his class. It helped be able to learn beyond the classroom and also learn specific interests I had outside of the class topics.

Cons: The subtitles for the videos could be improved. They are basically useless.

"Very useful tool for technical learning"

Pros: Offered a wide range of online lessons. I've finished and followed a few and find them well structured and organized into learning "path", so you can grow your knowledge reasonably.

Cons: Maybe I haven't discovered yet, I think it lacks of some hands-on practice content.

"Pluralsight review"

Comments: Great. The instructor is an excellent teacher.

Pros: Well organized to follow the paths/channels that I am interested in.

Cons: Possibly dated material for Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching track which is from 2016. With the pace of technology changes anticipate this is not the latest in Cisco information although the fundamentals will certainly apply.

"Excellent quality courses!"

Comments: The courses offered allow the user to stay on top of trends in their industry. This subscription is well worth the cost to my company. It is so much easier to take one of your classes than to attend an onsite training program.

Pros: These courses are a cut above the competitors (e.g. Lynda.com, etc.). The variety and depth of courses offered make it easy to determine which courses are right for your career path and interests. Well done!

Cons: Not every course comes with a downloadable outline. Would make it easier on the student.

"A great team PDP tool for IT Business"

Comments: Pluralsight has given my team the necessary tools to give their PDP the boost it needed to keep track of progression and development of their technical skills

Pros: Excellent Team Tracking features
IQ tests help give a sense of teams current capabilities and give progression to their learning paths
New Role IQ helps specifically to give a complete path to the specialization of team members
Courses are well developed and created

Cons: Some courses are very old and teaching stuff that is no longer best practices or standards
Courses are only technical maybe some soft skill courses like communication and leadership would give the platform the perfect experience.
For technical courses design is also not very developed making the platform only for software developers

"Good tool for learning"

Pros: It's easy to use and there are a lot of different paths that can be followed. Most of the videos are very informative and there are paths that can be followed to help improve your skills. My favorite thing about the software is that it offers both hard and soft skill courses, so I can develop both my technical and nontechnical skills

Cons: I wish there was more of the interactive lessons. Especially related to coding, personally I don't think watching videos is as effective as working through problems alongside the video.
