I love this company. They make it incredibly easy for me to stay up to date on all of the skills I need to run my business. I love that I am able to assess my skills and then learn what I need to focus on in my learning. I also love how I can watch trainings on my TV, phone, or computer.

The instructors are well educated, and the paths are organized in a way that makes it easy to learn any skill whether you are a beginner or an advanced user.

The only thing I wish Pluralsight offered more of is audio production paths. Podcasting is a growing industry and their podcasting path is a little dated.

Best e-learning platform for tech professionals on the market
What do you like best about the product?
There are pathways in popular skills that make it easy for users to find the courses relevant to their learning goals. After you have completed some of the courses, you can gauge your proficiency using their platform which puts you in a 'level', which you can then use to watch courses that match your proficiency. There are always new courses added to their catalog, and if there is one instructor you don't care for there are usually other courses at the same level of difficulty for popular skills.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our license in particular is very user-pricing oriented, and since not everyone will be actively using a license at all times, we have to regularly switch out users. Additionally, the platform could use more interactive learning methods like codecademy and others that have sandbox environments where you can experiment and be tested on the skills you learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight is a cost-effective way for our company to provide education and training on valuable technical skills in the company. It is most popularly used by our engineers and analysts to learn popular programming languages and concepts, as well as new data science best practices. This provides an easy way to invest in your employees and train them without too much of a capital investment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use this if you have a lot of technical employees and want them to stay educated on the latest technologies in their field. Tech is constantly changing, so it is important for tech professionals to always be learning and staying on top of the latest technologies. Whether you are an engineer or an analyst, business professional, or creative professional, this can be a very valuable education resource for them.
Best teaching resource
What do you like best about the product?
You can get experience building real world applications following Pluralsight tutorials. There are a lot of courses for .NET developers. I actually learned to program in C# from Pluralsight.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Pluralsight is good for .NET, Java developers, some courses seems to be outdated. For example, Ember.JS course has not been updated for a long period of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight solved training problem for our team
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pluralsight is a must for all .NET and Java developers
Software engineer
What do you like best about the product?
There is a course for mostly every topic I want. The courses are very well presented and thorough.
What do you dislike about the product?
More ways to be interactive with a course would be good. For example, having small exercises at the end of each module and having solutions for them to check. This will help in practising the knowledge and rembering things. Also, i personally use chrome cast to cast the videos to my TV, but this doesn't work well with pluralsight. It would be nice if i could more easily cast the video i'm watching from just pressing a button in the video player.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm trying to learn more about Agile, Scrum, Software technologies around c#, .NET and Microsoft technologies and software products.
Great training and educational resource for more advanced users
What do you like best about the product?
Pluralsight takes a different approach to the online learning platform compared to its competitors. Being more subscription based as opposed to paying per class, I find myself expanding my interest into areas other than what I've discovered on competitors sites. Since the whole platform is open, you can explore and learning different topics at no additional or pay per class. I love the layout and the dark theme of the website. Learning how to code, I use a lot of dark themes so this is very welcome. The layout of the site, dashboard, and classes is very intuitive and easy to navigate. I haven't used it yet, but the Skill IQ seems to be a very interesting tool and well thought out tool to test your current knowledge and get a benchmark on where you are. Pluralsight seems to be the most well thought out online learning site I've used. The ability to bookmark, add notes during videos, and have mentors is incredibly useful. The others are more or less a library of classes by teachers, but Pluralsight offers much more than that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the classes I've taken have been labeled as beginner/novice, but seem to jump into very advanced topics quickly. I'm not sure if this is isolated to just my experience with programming/coding classes, but things seem to move too quickly. Other online learning sites often move too slow and are very granular, but that is sometimes a good thing. Pluralsight has a huge selection of classes, but it is not as large as some of the other learning websites. I don't like that it doesn't have a "classroom chat" feature for questions and discussions like I've seen on other sites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My manager is pushing our team to learning Python and R for data analytics. We are in a very data heavy world and being able to analyze that data and make informed decisions is very useful and something our leadership team wants. I haven't gotten too far into my classes, but as I progress through the classes it will be very beneficial to our team and skillset.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My subscription fee is covered by my company, but depending on whether Pluralsight wants to go in more corporate/institution focused or general consumer direction, I'd suggest creating different subscription packages. Instead of a $299/year fee, maybe have a $100/year subscription but limited to 200 hours of videos or something along those lines.
Always able to learn something new
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer amount of quality content, there's a lot to watch. There's always something more you can learn.
I like several of the instructors, and the site navigation and feel is very nice.

What do you dislike about the product?
How poorly some of the instructors speak English, and how dry some of the courses can be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've really been able to learn a lot of automation which has benefited my business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find out what course instructors you like best and check out their content. They most likely have videos teaching something else that you'd be interested in.
