Nachteile

Contents should be updated on monthly basis

I like the interface of Pluralsight Skills and that Pluralsight Skills focuses on implementing gamification techniques through the educational content. Also, I love that Pluralsight Skills offers scholarships for students to take most of the courses for free plus providing a certificate.

The educational content offered by Pluralsight Skills is so poor and not up to date. Also, the visual content offered by Pluralsight Skills is so little which is bad for people who love to learn from videos.

The range of content. Other platforms have a broader range making them more appealing.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Pluralsight Skills

Vorteile

I get up early every day and watch courses on Pluralsight for one hour. I have been doing this for several years. For the subjects that I am interested in (IT, Cloud, Software, DevOps), their courses are first class. I also take the Pluralsight IQ tests on a regular basis in 30 different areas to review my skill set and help me find areas that I need to spend more time with. The number of courses available on Pluralsight is amazing. You could spend your entire life and not watch all of them.

Nachteile

The iPhone app constantly requires reauthentication which means usually I cannot watch an offline course unless I also have Internet. This is a difficulty on the train where there is no signal.

Vorteile

I love that you can take pre-assessment testing to understand what you don't know and that the offer suggestions on what to watch/study to help fill those gaps. I also love that I can get a variety of offerings on a similar topic so that I understand more view points.

Nachteile

I see confusion around the differences of Roles, Paths, etc.

Vorteile

Pluralsight has a vast, amazing library of content. Whatever your IT needs are, you'll find high-quality content.

Nachteile

I'd like Pluralsight to be my silver bullet. I want content on soft skills in the same source to make my life easier.

Vorteile

The catalog is rich and the topic are very well explain by expert. Our developers do love pluralsight. It is a reference in terms of technical trainings for developers.

Nachteile

I do not really like the search on the catalog and the reporting could be improved.

Vorteile

the vast library of videos with all sorts of technology from different sources. Courses in English with subtitles, in some courses, but very well spoken. The uniform sound for starting and finishing a module. The system to earn badges as per achievements accomplished. The ability to take an IQ test and assess where you are, in terms of the skills you need and the summary that helps identify what to strengthen.

Nachteile

The price could be a bit lower for individuals, beginners who are not sure that programming is their path in life.

Vorteile

I really enjoy the ease of use of the PluralSight Web Site interface. That allows me to quickly search courses and add them to a Custom created Learning Channel. The course content is well organized and well broken up into manageable sections.

Nachteile

I have been fortunate that only a few courses the presenters audio was sort of difficult to make out. I had to turn on Close Captioning. One thing that I have noticed a little, that would definitely quickly cause me concern is not having available the latest content.

Vorteile

The download and learning check features

Nachteile

Most courses are entry level, I would like more advanced/specialized courses

Vorteile

I like the variety of the content related to software and programming. They also publish new content on newly released technologies and trending ones pretty much on a daily basis.

Nachteile

Sometimes, if you are looking for deep-dive learning in particular concepts like software architecture, specially more modern architectures, you will find there are gaps in the content

Vorteile

Excellent content, course categorization based on path, works best when videos are downloaded offline.

Nachteile

Crashes online if browser speed is weak and buffers the content. Pricing can be reduced.

Vorteile

The sheer volumes and varied contents of PS is amazing. The ease of use of the web player and the slick offline player.

Nachteile

Keyboard shortcuts on the player could be better.

Vorteile

In a constantly changing technology landscape, this is a great tool to keep up. You can get the big picture or go in depth on just about any software technology.

Nachteile

There is so much content, sometimes it can be hard to narrow down what you're looking for, but Pluralsight has been doing an excellent job to help curate the content.

Ease of navigation and the quality of the courses if great. It is a valuable tool for helping to train staff or letting them grow their knowledge in technical areas of interest.

More Google management courses or healthcare IT related courses would be appreciated.

The wide variety of course and the detailed information contained within each course

Nachteile

I dont have anything that I like least about the software.

New Role IQ helps specifically to give a complete path to the specialization of team members
Courses are well developed and created

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

I liked how they have a broad variety of skills and a place to take notes while learning.

Nachteile

Sometimes finding the correct course can be a little confusing.

Vorteile

Very efficient and helpful courses, grouped in paths which lead you to professionality

the cost of the subscription a little bit expensive, I would be happy if you make projects and interactive courses available as free trails to normal subscriptions

Vorteile

Skills IQ, when implemented well delivers huge value to the organisation. The content library is vast and of a high standard, our technology teams value the resource highly

Nachteile

Integration with AZURE authentication wasn't possible

It helps us to prepare for the different IT exams preparation and to achieve niche skills

Nachteile

Ease of use, I can download courses offline and watch as per my schedule.

Vorteile

I see lots of industrial experts are teaching.

Nachteile

I didn’t come across anything . Because everything was easy to learn

Vorteile

The thing I like most about Pluralsight Skills is that all available courses are made by professionals. The courses are made such that learners can start from the base and ends with advanced. The platform is easy to use and has allowed us to quickly and easily integrate with our existing business processes.

Nachteile

The only thing I don't like about Pluralsight Skills is It's Pricing, subscription is too expensive and it's almost impossible to buy for small businesses.

Vorteile

2. Accessible anywhere - You can access it through desktop, mobile browser, and its app
3. Recognized - You can link your certifications in LinkedIn

Nachteile

1. Expensive
2. For free trial, still requires mode of payment

Vorteile

Hay una gran variedad de cursos y contenidos impartidos por personas expertas en cada materia. Puedes siempre continuar donde dejaste cada formación y afianzar tus conocimientos utilizando los cuestionarios de preguntas.

Nachteile

Me gustaría que ofreciera más contenido en otros idiomas además del inglés. No hay muchos cursos en español.

Vorteile

The software provides an easy tool to identify learning paths for our employees and tailor them to the level of the employee's experience. It is well organized, easy to navigate and allows the employee access for continuous learning at their own pace. It also provides them with access to other areas of development outside of their current roles.

We appreciate the analytics that allows us the opportunity to evaluate the progress and effort put forth in the usage of the product. We also appreciate the available tools to identify skill levels.

We appreciate the new content that is continually being added and the visibility as to when the courses were created.

Nachteile

Using Pluralsight has been a good experience for our company and we haven't encountered any unfavorable aspects when working with the software.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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).

Vorteile

Lo que más me gusta de esta plataforma es la gran variedad de cursos que ofrece, lo hay muy variados y de temátics muy diversas. La interfaz es muy amigable y es muy sencillo llevar control del desarrollo del curso que estés haciendo.

Nachteile

No hay nada especialmente que no me guste. Quizás el precio sea algo elevado, pero se amortiza.

Vorteile

It provide us option to learn with our own speed. Course material is always complete and no other source of information is required.

Nachteile

I can't search for a very specific issue in the course. If I am stuck in doing anything then I have to find that in video.

Vorteile

There is a vast amount of content available. The videos all follow a similar pattern making the entire learning process, regardles of the subject, familiar. Different levels of training ensures you can receive in-depth training of a subject, regardless of the level you start at. Having transcripts available is great, as some courses can be covered by reading the transcript when watching a video is not an option.

Nachteile

The ratings of some courses may not be reflective of your view, and you may find stopping a course early as it isn't covering a topic as you would have hoped. However there are multiple videos on a topic so usually there is an alternative that may suit better.

Vorteile

Skill IQ, to show you where you are in a variety of different skills. Allows you to train at the level of your knowledge, and not start from scratch. Course availability. Time tracking and certification planning.

Nachteile

Application navigation is a little clunky and not easy to login and pick up where you left off. The user dashboard could be improved to allow more visibility into where you want to go.

Vorteile

Organization trainings and skill development
Courses useful in day to day work in different domains
Domain knowledge development
Organization single sign on

Nachteile

Including more courses for certifications in agile methodology, software development etc will be helpful

Vorteile

I am definitely in the love group when it comes to Pluralsight! Anytime I am in a situation where I don't understand a feature of a new software (or an old software that I thought I had mastered), I jump onto Pluralsight, find the module I need, and can quickly learn what I need to know. I owe Pluralsight a lot of praise for how much it has gotten me at my job.

Nachteile

There are some new software products on the market, that Pluralsight doesn't have trainings for, that I wish it did.

Vorteile

It has a lot of content about the different software topics for example content for devops, UI devolper, backend developer, QA, etc

Nachteile

It could use a better price plan for companies, this way the companies can encourage the learning path of the employees

Vorteile

It has a wide variety of courses and some of the trainers are just amazing, the slides and animations are very easy to understand. It also have skill test with quality questions to test your knowledge.

Nachteile

The subscription price is on the higher side. Also there is no code editor to practice coding. They could have their own inbuilt code-editor.

Vorteile

Knowledge is easily accessible through high quality content.

Nachteile

Leaves me a bit without a tool to plan long term - I used OneNote and Evernote for few years to keep track of past/in-progress/planned courses - I've given up a bit and got used to Channels - although they get a bit hard to use after exceeding 20-30 items on a list.

Vorteile

1.Course content were managed properly.
2.It has facility to communicate with trainer through chat box.
3.Trainers who posted the online courses on Pluralsight are very much professional in their field.

Nachteile

Should add FAQ in each course content so that learner will have the answers to their question while learning.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

It is very difficult to manage different learning paths

Vorteile

Pluralsight Skills has brought all your technical training to an online, video library. My workplace has subscribed to it at different times to allow us to train on particular topics, and also to explore and train on things of our own interest. I love how the library is extremely vast, with courses on essentially anything technical you could want to learn about, and different classes are available on different subtopics and identified for beginner, intermediate, or advanced level. Since the courses are all recorded, you can watch several times, or playback portions you want.

Nachteile

What I liked least is that I did take a few courses where the instructor was somewhat hard to understand. The recording quality is good, however, dependent on what kind of dialect you might be used to, it's possible to get an instructor that you don't find completely clear.

Vorteile

it is amazing Software and amazing feature in Pluralsight that help us developing our skills and determine our paths in development

Nachteile

searching inside it need some concertation to know what we need exactly from it

Vorteile

I love the portability! I can access Pluralsight everywhere I go; on my phone, tablet, and on web browsers. I enjoy many of the features, my favorite one being that I can download the course onto my devices. Pluralsight is an amazing study tool, I've passed two certification exams thanks to the great courses!

Nachteile

I wish that there was an auto-play option for web browsers.

Vorteile

great brick and mortar experience to track inventory and assist in the employee training online assessments and cbt training

Nachteile

i find nothing wrong as the software is commonly used with more accurate then inaccurate

Vorteile

can find out many courses you want to learn

Nachteile

In the course, is it possible to allow the students to search on a topic and start to learn a piece or a demo to only focus on what they the need

Vorteile

I like the search ability and detailed descriptions. Whether I'm curious or need serious information, I can find the title to help me accomplish that goal.

Nachteile

It is not optimized for Mobile use. For me I struggled to review a course or sometimes start the course while using the mobile app. Some of that may have been signal related, but some additional work to optimize for mobile delivery may be required.
