One of the best paid training tools for tech teams
I've used Pluralsight Skills for my team's training demands. All in all, I really recommend this as this provides a wide array of topics in software development and more. If you are looking for an effective way to learn programming languages with hands-on application, this is for you. Just bear in mind that this is not free so prepare your payment method.
PROS1. Up-to-date topics related to software development, and other facets in technology 2. Accessible anywhere - You can access it through desktop, mobile browser, and its app 3. Recognized - You can link your certifications in LinkedIn 4. Certifications
CONS1. Expensive 2. For free trial, still requires mode of payment

Enhancing Learning Experiences with Pluralsight
As a company, we use the Pluralsight platform to create learning paths for onboarding new employees and continue the learning experience for existing employees. This enables us to identify areas to encourage a learning culture and support employee development. I appreciate the constant notification of updates to course material and enhancements. It displays the dedication Pluralsight has in providing updated material in a fast past field and in turn helps me to communicate with the users to ensure they are aware of updates beneficial to their needs. The staff is quick in response time and displays an earnest interest in helping our company focus on where we want to be in with our Learning and Development platform.
PROSThe 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.
CONSUsing Pluralsight has been a good experience for our company and we haven't encountered any unfavorable aspects when working with the software.

Simple Review
The platform is very well organized. you can bookmark courses and it remembers where you left off the next time you log in. The downloaded material for coding along with the instructors making the learning process very interesting.
PROSthe 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.
CONSThe price could be a bit lower for individuals, beginners who are not sure that programming is their path in life.

Gives competitive edge to my career
Listening to the courses gave me inspiration as well as great tips that often helped me reach highier levels of my career as a Software Engineer.
PROSKnowledge is easily accessible through high quality content.
CONSLeaves 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.
Reasons for switching to Pluralsight Skills
LearnDevNow course base was a bit more limited (less frontend-oriented courses) and grown slower.

Great Learning Platform for People working in Technology
Overall, I have had great experience with the Pluralsight content and I think all software teams will benefit from doing their courses
PROSI 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.
CONSSometimes, 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

Review for Pluralsight
Overall it's a good platform to learn and enhance your skills. Recommended.
PROSIt 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.
CONSThe subscription price is on the higher side. Also there is no code editor to practice coding. They could have their own inbuilt code-editor.

Best Way to Learn on the Go!
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!
CONSI wish that there was an auto-play option for web browsers.

Content well organized
Overall my experience with PluralSight has been very positive.
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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.
Reason for choosing Pluralsight Skills
I have used CBT Nuggets in the past and wanted to try PluralSight.

Reach Proficiency Speedily with Pluralsight
Pluralsight has been great. I tend to watch at least a couple videos a week. Sometimes I have to brush up on old skills, learn new skills for my job, or look ahead at skills I may one day put to use.
PROSI 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.
CONSWhile 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.

A great team PDP tool for IT Business

PROSExcellent Team Tracking features IQ tests help give a sense of teams current capabilities and give progression to their learning paths New Role IQ helps specifically to give a complete path to the specialization of team members Courses are well developed and created
CONSSome 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

Good tool for learning
It's easy to use and there are a lot of different paths that can be followed. Most of the videos are very informative and there are paths that can be followed to help improve your skills. My favorite thing about the software is that it offers both hard and soft skill courses, so I can develop both my technical and nontechnical skills
CONSI wish there was more of the interactive lessons. Especially related to coding, personally I don't think watching videos is as effective as working through problems alongside the video.

PluralSight Great for Beginners!
I have enjoyed my time using PluralSight. I began using the program with zero experience. After using PluralSight in these six months, I can proudly say that I have developed and strengthened my practical IT, Excel, Operating System, etc. skills.
PROSI enjoy the ease of use in PluralSight. There seems to be a never-ending array of topics and subjects to learn from. Navigating between them is easy.
CONSI slightly dislike that the majority of the learning is visual. I would like some practice exercises and comprehension questions in order to better grasp the knowledge.
