One stop for all the quality content on the most relevant topics.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The courses are very well structured. The quality of content is very good. Discovery of topics that I want to learn was very good, was quickly able to find the content that I want to learn along with the topics that I would need to complete in order to master that particular skill. Accessibility is also very good, starting from laptop and being able to continue from my mobile device is awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some courses have old content, there are tools which newer versions in market along with new features. If the content is old we might miss out on the new feature the tool has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating tasks in my organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good place to upskill on the most recent technologies

Worth to spend Money and Time

  • November 20, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Quality of the content is very good compared to other e-learning websites
2. Availability of courses are very high in-terms of multiple domain and skills
3. Authors are very interactive even with the pre recorded course contents.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Higher subscription amount though it is very useful some might not be able achieve to get the license
2. If we can have multiple currency acceptable for the payment it would be useful for other country students and professionals as well.
3. It has lot of things in the same place. Some times that is also little confusing when comes to students. But the professionals will understand in most of the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. We have faced lot of issues with the Accessibility issues in our current product. After I took the accessibility course from the Pluralsight I could fix most of the issues in the short period of time..
2. It has the advanced version of courses for almost all the technical skills available. I am improving my skills with the advanced courses in the Pluralsight and applying those in our project and we are getting the better result as well
3. When I show this to my friends and explained the pros and cons of the system they never mind about the cons after seeing the course content and they agree to get the license for themselves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to give some discount for the students who needs limited access to the content

Pluralsight courses quality and content is for sure great, but we need quicker updates...

  • November 20, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The presenters are all best in market and the content is very well organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speed of getting videos for the latest updates in technology

I visit to get trained on technologies like MS Azure and Angular. As we use them in our development day to day these trainings helps me a lot in following best practices and implement the tasks with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pluralsight has very good learning content which guides developers with best practices and latest methodologies.

One should come here if they want to learn technologies with deep insights, which actually helps in longterm

I love the way technologies are taught

What do you like best about the product?
I get to learn any technology of my interest in very less time. I like the offline player which helps me download courses to my laptop and complete them whenever I want. The course progress in offline player is in sync with the course progress in the website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few captions in few videos are out of sync with the audio and few words are misspelled.There is no way to click the URLs shown in the videos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight has tons of short and valuable courses which helped me learn technologies faster. The offline player is one of the best features which helps people to download their favorite courses and watch them on their own time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pluralsight is definitely one of the best online course providers.

The best way to keep up with rapidly changing technology landscape

  • November 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that anytime I want to learn more about a new technology or process, Pluralsight already has it in their vast catalog.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dark theme is sometimes difficult to use. Could have better reporting options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've purchased licenses for my entire team so that we are able to keep up with the constant changes in the technology landscape. Originally it was the developers, but Pluralisght has expanded to include information that is useful for all IT service professionals, including network admins, systems admins, systems analysts, and project managers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The company is constantly investing in itself and will be around for a long time. There is always new content coming out and they are working on ways to make it even easier to discover.

Good depth of knowledge and presentation

What do you like best about the product?
Like the depth of knowledge in my interested topics.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major issues encountered. If you need to stop the course and resume later, it seems to resume on the summary of the chapter you just completed - not a big deal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed some understanding of Maven, was able to understand the build process of our existing base and implement a new Maven project. Also needed to understand queue implementation using Hazelcast. Left with a better understanding of Hazelcast and it's distributed data implementation.

Supplemental job training that's also great for college students

  • November 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love to look through all the relevant courses for a skill by reviewing the detailed table of contents for each course. This helps me determine which specific modules of a course I want to listen to. I may listen to an entire course or just the portions I need help on. It's often good to hear two different instructors present the same concept to ensure I understand it thoroughly.
Although this site is promoted to working adults to fill skill gaps (or to build new career skills), I have also found it quite helpful as a college course supplement. I'm working on my second bachelor's degree, and the computer science courses are all offered online. This is more challenging than traditional classroom teaching because students must teach much of the material to themselves using the textbooks and material provided by the instructor. I had envisioned that the instructors would record their lectures (similar to MIT Courseware), but in the online program at my university, most instructors provide, little or no video instruction. Since it can be difficult to learn new technical material solely from a textbook, it is incredibly helpful to look up the concepts on Pluralsight and watch the relevant modules/courses to reinforce my understanding. Specifically, it helps to see challenge exercises completed in real time...especially when a step in the textbook is unclear.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the technical courses (e.g., programming languages) go through several examples that are not created from scratch. There are many times when it would be helpful to code alongside the instructor. If the instructor has a few "existing" files they will be modifying, all the files should be made available for download to encourage interactive learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been reviewing courses in HTML, CSS, and Visual Basic. I'm an instructional designer, and the main authoring tool our department uses for eLearning was developed in-house. This tool is adequate to create "slides" but the formatting is limited. Since the developers provide the option to customize each slide using HTML and CSS, I have watched courses on these topics on Pluralsight and now use the coding option to wield greater control over the look and feel of my eLearning content! Peers often look at my slides and say, "I didn't think our system could do that!" Then I can show them how to accomplish it by customizing their code. Also, sometimes the authoring tool has a glitch when the user attempts to apply multiple types of formatting to a selection (e.g., Heading 1, with some words in bold, some in italics, and others in a different font). I can easily fix these issues with surgical precision within the code/mark-up window instead of having to wait and request for a developer to fix things on their end (or worse, just giving up and accepting a default design that is less engaging).
The main benefits are affordability and well-designed instructional courses. It can be hit-or-miss (mostly the latter) when searching for a quality video on a technical topic on YouTube. Unfortunately, I have trouble understanding non-English accents, and many good videos that are on YouTube are presented by instructors who learned English as a second language. I have to keep rewinding some sections and attempting to read the horrible captions provided, and often I give up and look for another video. But I never struggle to understand the recorded instructors on Pluralsight, who all seem to be native speakers (at least the ones I've seen so far)...and the transcriptions are perfect, so even if there is a new term I'd like to see in writing, I'm confident I can find it in the transcription!
Although there s value in higher education (discussion forums, testing, etc.), I think video learning is more cost effective than university courses, and I can watch the videos multiple times if needed at any time of the day or night. Even if an instructor presents material in a way that doesn't connect with me, I can usually find another instructor who presents in a manner that's better suited to my learning styles and preferences.
