the course management page is needlessly complex

Avantages

Course materials, teachers and variety of courses

Inconvénients

Contents should be updated on monthly basis

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

I quite liked the UI of Pluralsight compared to other platforms such as Udemy and LinkedIn Learning - it had a slick look and feel.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Pluralsight is an awesome learning content platform that is tailored towards professionals seeking to grow their technical skills. The available content can get quite technical as well, I've used it in previous roles to understand concepts like REST APIs and SSO

Inconvénients

There's not much I can say negatively about Pluralsight.

Avantages

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

Pourquoi passer à Pluralsight Skills

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

The download and learning check features

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

Keyboard shortcuts on the player could be better.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Inconvénients

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

Sometimes finding the correct course can be a little confusing.
