    Engaging Learning Content, but Enterprise Analytics Need Clarity

    Reviewed on Oct 13, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I find the content helpful, relevant, and fulfilling. I like the gamification and Skill IQs, and the initial setup was very easy.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find Pluralsight’s analytics hard to follow when tracking a larger organization, and calculating overall usage requires work outside the tool. I also miss having company-specific content.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use Pluralsight to find training and figure out where to start when learning technical disciplines for my non-technical role.

    One of the Best Technical Learning Platforms

    Reviewed on Oct 01, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    We enabled SSO with our Pluralsight platform, and I really appreciate how easy it is to access. Overall, the platform feels much more convenient to use because signing in is so straightforward.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes the training feels too lengthy. At times I just need a quick, direct answer—not an entire course.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Pluralsight’s biggest strength is the breadth and depth of its technology catalog. As an IT administrator, I find this especially valuable because I can often find highly specific training on niche technologies that are hard to learn elsewhere.

    A “Podcast for Your Brain” That Makes Learning Varied IT Subjects Effortless

    Reviewed on Feb 19, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It's like a podcast for your brain. The visuals are super helpful but more often that not, I have it on in the background, and I'm learning about Python while I'm going about my day
    What do you dislike about the product?
    It's very minor, but the GUI has not improved. In fact, it's become more difficult to get to the places I use the most. I love the Weekly Goals but now it's 4 button clicks to check my progress, before it was like 2
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It's filling in information gaps. I listen to Azure and Microsoft stuff for my job, but it also offers great topics on other IT-related things. Love it
