Personalized Learning Paths and Practical Teaching
What do you like best about the product?
What I personally like about Pluralsight is how straightforward the learning experience is. I don't have to figure out where to start, it recommends courses based on my skill level, job profile and goals, which saves time. Here, the instructors actually teach, they don't just read slides. I pick up techniques and workflows I can directly apply at work. The integration with other tools like skill IQ and certification paths make it more useful to understand me where i stand and what i should focus on. These skill quizzes are a good reality check as they keep me motivated to level up without feeling stressful. I use it 2-3 days a week to keep learning or giving skills assessments which makes me stay levelled up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the hands on labs should be available for all the topics as some of them does not have them. I believe it is very easier to learn when we try things directly or practise after learning instead of just watching a video and understanding a concept.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight helps me keep my skills up to date without spending hours searching for the right learning material online. It gives me a clear path for what to learn next based on my job designation, past courses or profile so I don’t feel lost when picking new topics. The platform saves me time by bringing structured latest courses, assessments, and progress tracking all in one place. It is also great for building confidence before starting a new project or certification at work. Another good feature it provides is offline player where i can download the courses and videos and watch it later whenever i want without internet. Overall, it makes learning more organized and helps me grow at a steady pace.
Great Instructors and Learning Paths, but UI and Pricing Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Pluralsight has some of the best instructor I've seen online. They explain complex topics in a simple, structured way. The learning paths and role-based tracks make it really easy to focus on specific career goals, like becoming a cloud engineer or front-end developer. And also the structure of the learning path is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be a bit more modern and sometimes the results show older content first. It would be nice to see more project-bases learning options or coding challenges. Lastly the yearly subscription is a bit pricey if you're not using is often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me plan my learning time more efficiently. Instead of randomly watching tutorials, I follow a path and actually measure my progress. It's been a big help for preparing for certification Like Azure or AWS. I use it regularly to learn about the new release in .Net, typeScript and Azure, which directly helps me in my work and career growth.
Excellent Platform for Upskilling and Staying Updated with Tech
What do you like best about the product?
I like how organized and focused the courses are. The instructors really know their stuff and the content feels professional and to the point. I also love that I can choose learning paths for specific roles or technologies, so it's easy to follow a structured journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface feels a bit outdated compared to other learning platforms. Also not all new frameworks or tools get course immediately so there can be a small delay in the latest tech conent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me build confidence in areas I wasn't strong in before Like backend development and cloud computing. The platform saves me time because I can learn exactly what I need without wasting hours searching random YouTube tutorials.
Helped me a-lot to build kubernetes skills
What do you like best about the product?
if you are serious about mastering kubernetes, pluralsight is one of the best platform that guide you to beginner to master levels. the content is structured, practical and keep up with the latest kubernetes releases and eco-system tools
What do you dislike about the product?
if you wanna learn non-technical skills, pluralsight has much less content, it heavily focused on IT, cloud, security, etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it provides expert-led, well structured courses, hands-on guided experience, certification prep paths and regularly updated content
Has been and continued to be great!
What do you like best about the product?
I started to use Pluralsight in about 2015 and have used it for years to supplement my technology, security, and compliance training. It's always been easy to use. They get real instructors with industry experience that tell their stories and relate their past experience to what they are teaching. These same instructors also give useful documentation and labs that go along with the course that I, in some cases, continue to use. A good real-life example of this are GitHub repositories that I can follow to use in the future. The fact that I've used it this long shows that the tool has lasting power in my books. And when I'm in learning mode, I use the tool a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I got into topics that I did not know much about at all, I drowned in the content. In this case it was Javascript, and it got very confusing, very quickly. It would be great if there were topics like this that were flagged to give beginners a shallower introduction, it may help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently Pluralsight is helping me explore the different areas of technology compliance that I need to learn for my role. These include ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI, and also Cyber compliance. Skills help me find the suitable overviews and allows me to outline what learning paths I can take with the content so it can help me not only do my job, but also satisfy my job requirements.
A Powerful Platform for Professional Development.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Pluralsight Skills is its incredible ease of use and the sheer number of features it offers.
The platform is very intuitive, making it simple to find and start a course.
I particularly love the skill assessments, which give me a clear, quantifiable
score of my current knowledge and then recommend a learning path to fill in the gaps.
The platform's extensive library of courses, from beginner to advanced levels, means that I can find exactly what I need to learn to grow in my career.
The ease of implementation was also a huge plus. We were able to get our entire team set up and assigned to learning paths very quickly.
The ease of integration with other developer tools is seamless, making it easy to incorporate learning into our daily workflow.
The Frequency of use is high for me, as I use it almost every day to stay on top of new technologies and build my skills.

What do you dislike about the product?
My main frustration with Pluralsight is its occasional technical glitches.
The video player can sometimes buffer or freeze, which can be frustrating during a lesson.
While the Customer Support is generally responsive, it can sometimes take a while to get a detailed technical answer.
The platform’s pricing can be a bit high for individual users, making it a bigger commitment than some of the other
learning platforms on the market.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight Skills solves the problem of a disorganized and stagnant approach to professional development. Before using it, our team was
managing learning through a mix of unorganized online tutorials, articles, and disconnected courses. It was nearly impossible to track
individual progress or ensure everyone was learning the same, high-quality material. The main benefit is that it provides a structured
and unified learning platform. I use it for Technical Skills Development, allowing me to stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and
acquire new skills through expertly-led courses. The platform's vast library of eLearning Content is a major benefit, as are the Virtual
IT Labs that allow me to practice what I'm learning in a real-world environment without having to set up a complex local development
environment. Finally, Pluralsight provides powerful tools for Skills Management. I can easily assess my team's proficiency, identify
knowledge gaps, and then assign specific learning paths to address them, giving me a clear, data-driven way to manage our team's
professional growth.

My go-to learning platform.
What do you like best about the product?
As a software engineer, I have tried quite a few learning platforms, but pluralsight really stood out for me. First It is very easy to use. Interface is very clean which made understanding things very easy for me. Implementation wise,its very smooth as i did not need any special setup. I just signed up using my company credentials, picked a course and started learning. It has lots of features like skill test, progress tracking, bookmarks, certification prep and much more. It has become a reliable part of my learning routine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly all the features have been really helpful to me, but one thing which i believe they should improve is the search functionality. Sometimes, when i am looking for any specific course or topic using any keyword, the results are not that accurate as i expected and i have to scroll through other irrelevant suggested topics to find the one which i actually need. I believe they should work on this and provide only topics related to the keyword.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest challenges I have faced is to keep up with the swiftly moving technology changes. Pluralsight skills has helped me solve this problem by providing a platform which offers structured way of learning. This structured way of learning includes the features like guided range of skills and courses, well organized modules which makes it easy to learn in small chunks, skill assessment, hands-on labs to practice whatever I learned. The addon to this is the offline player app of pluralsight which allowed me to download the course and learn it anytime when i want. It also offers material for certification like AWS and Azure. Overall pluralsight has helped me identify and close gap on my technical knowledge, update my skills regularly and stay on the top of my job role expectations.
Pluralsight Skills is my Go-To for faster skill growth.
What do you like best about the product?
Pluralsight is very straightforward to use. As the name suggests, It simply helps you to upgrade your skills. It offers a lot and includes variety of skills which you can learn and practice. The setup is very easy, I used my company account to sign in. It is more than just videos. The skill assessments, role IQs, hands on labs are very helpful. You can easily practice for 30-45 mins daily even when you don't have time for large videos, thanks to the labs and skill assessments. Customer support is decent which helped me address my issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all the courses have labs to do hands on practice. They should provide labs and skills assessments for all the topics for which they provide learning videos. I was lucky enough that my company provided the subscription, otherwise most of the content is in paid version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Major problem today is that, there are very few tools and applications which provides you a platform where you can learn multiple skills and upgrade yourself. Pluralsight has a lot to offer. Apart from number of technologies and skills which you can learn, it provides hands on labs to practice those skills and also helped me assess my skills by conducting tests which helped my monitor my growth and progress. It also helps you prepare for the certifications by covering all the topics and content asked in the examination. I also downloaded the videos which I was able to learn anytime using "Pluralsight offline player". It made a personalized learning experience for me by providing courses relevant to my job and designation.
Skill assessment and curated paths makes up skilling more focused

What do you dislike about the product?
a few older AZ 900 modules may not align with microsoft latest exam objectives, so cross checking with official exam guid is essential, i am expecting updates up to date on related courses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High quality learning path that helped me quickly understand azure concepts and pass the certification exam. it boosted my cloud knowledge and confidence, which i can directly apply to my project
Powerful learning resources and Team insight
What do you like best about the product?
The courses that I have used have all been high quality, and very useful working towards industry certifications (CCNA, MS certifications). I am administrator of a team license on Pluralsight Skills, and the dashboards are invaluable for justifying ROI, and seeing utilization stats for team members.
The interface is intuitive, and it's simple to find the right courses for what you are trying to learn.

Honestly I have minimal negative feedback, I have always had good experiences, they make it easy to rightsize the number of licenses you're paying for as team numbers flex.

It's a consolidated learning platform that allows team members to receive consistent instruction on business critical topics. It has helped my department become more resilient by helping with cross training into different specialties. I used to pay extreme prices per course with other solutions, now it's all in one place.
