Inconvénients

Contents should be updated on monthly basis

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

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

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

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

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 special tools that make it easier for you to learn. One of these tools is called adaptive learning technology, which changes the course content depending on how quickly you are learning and your current skill level. This helps you learn more effectively and at your own pace.

Inconvénients

Peer interaction feature could be added to improve application.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

It is very difficult to manage different learning paths

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Pluralsight is great for the entire team. I sometimes as the Architect get requests out of left field and learning a new technology we need to evaluate or integrate with Pluralsight is invaluable in getting both basic and detailed info on a wide range of topics. It's great to roll out to a team of developers or QA as well.

Inconvénients

I don't see a way to add it to my smart TV

Avantages

Pluralsight has an easy to use interface and makes it easy to search for the training you want and play the videos.

Inconvénients

For the price the library is a bit small, I wish there was more videos.

Avantages

These courses are a cut above the competitors (e.g. Lynda.com, etc.). The variety and depth of courses offered make it easy to determine which courses are right for your career path and interests. Well done!

Inconvénients

Not every course comes with a downloadable outline. Would make it easier on the student.

Avantages

I love that we can search for different topics, whether is soft skills or technical skills. There are basic trainings to understand the new technologies and concepts.

Inconvénients

It lacks some specialized technical skills that my team could benefit from .

Avantages

Exam and knowledge measuring process
Great quality content
Navigation and UX

Inconvénients

Exam retake period
More interactive videos

Avantages

I like how easy it is to get to the topics I need to learn. Most of the time at my job, I have projects and deadlines that I am actively working towards, so being able to learn what I need when I need is a must.

Inconvénients

While it's easy to get at great educational videos, it could be nice in some cases to have additional functionality. For example, when learning a new frontend framework or technique, it could be advantageous to be able to edit code examples from within the site. That may be well beyond the scope of Pluralsight, and perhaps wouldn't make sense due to the breadth of content, but is something that could certainly be beneficial.

Avantages

Easy to use on different devices and great content

Inconvénients

Nothing really wrong. Maybe one thing that i did not like - i had some courses downloaded for offline listening. However i was not able to launch the app while i was on the plane and there was no network...

Avantages

The portability. You can watch using a phone, roku, tablet, computers, etc. You can also download content for use when you know you will be without an internet connection later.

Inconvénients

I cannot think of any cons. I love the product.

Avantages

Offer all the courses for the price of one.
Courses can be customised based on company needs, can be grouped teamwise too.
Great learning/training material for AWS certifications

Inconvénients

Individual courses cannot be purchased which makes it a bit expensive if you want to only learn a particular course
