Likelihood to Recommend I've encouraged co-workers and non-coworkers to watch the live streams of ITProTV. Unfortunately, my company currently uses
CBT Nuggets (none of the people I've asked like it/utilize it), but those who do take the suggestion often ask the same question: Why do we not use ITProTV instead of CBT? I met a young man who was in his final year of college pursuing an accounting degree. He asked me about the IT industry. I suggested he look at ITProTV in order to see if there is a subject he's interested in. He immediately signed up, and while working two jobs and going to school, he managed to get his CCNA and pass the Microsoft 70-410 within 6 months. We hired him. If you just want to hone your skills, ITProTV delivers. If you are seeking certifications, ITProTV delivers. The only demographic that I can imagine where it would be unsuited, is simply for those who are ignorant that nearly every industry involves some form of technological understanding. ITProTV is good for end users "non-IT personnel", as well as those supporting end users.

Read full review Pros Amount and quality of content is great, plus the instructors are entertaining The user interface is easy to navigate and the videos can be streamed to just about any platform The Transcender practice tests in the subscription plan we have are practically worth the price of admission Read full review Provide timely and individualized feedback. Allow for the teacher to check for understanding, for the entire class, in one view. Present an array of different interactive lesson items, at the fingertips of every student. Read full review Cons The episode download feature could use a little work (speaking about the Android experience). When you download the episode, you need to go to downloaded in ITProTV instead of just playing on the normal episode content screen. It works well for what it is, but it would be nice to have the downloaded content play straight from the episode screen. I've had a few little issues with the Roku. It works great, but there have been a couple times when I needed to contact support because the Roku kept saying I wasn't a subscriber. The problem mostly resolved itself, but I still occasionally get the message. It isn't a huge deal since I can still access the content on Android or through a web browser. I would like to see an al la carte for school education. Currently, we must contact a sales rep for one-off trainings, like A+, Network+, etc. (the sales reps are phenomenal... so that isn't much of an issue!) Read full review I would love Nearpod to have more free activities. I would love Nearpod to be free for educators. I would love if teachers could assign homework on Nearpod. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Using ITProTV has been a cakewalk. Not once have I wished that we went with a different vendor. The content stays updated. My technicians are improving their skills. We can train when we need it and access the content required. We are improving all the way around.... why wouldn't I want to renew?

Read full review Support Rating Let me start with... their chat really works. You aren't chatting with a bot. When we first looked into purchasing ITProTV, I opened a chat on their site. One of their sales people, Brandon, contacted me quickly and by phone. I totally thought I was chatting with a computer, then the phone rang and Brandon introduced himself. I was blown away. Then, on the two occasions when I contact support, I did it through the chat. Not only did my problem get resolved quickly, a tech named Jessica followed up via email a couple days later to make sure the issues hadn't continued. Fantastic!
Read full review The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Previously my team used the Microsoft on demand training which has everything you could ever dream of from Microsoft in the same format as ITProTV. It did have the latest and greatest Microsoft training because it is Microsoft, but it only had Microsoft and nothing more. The cost was the other issue. The On demand workshops subscription cost a lot more than my budget would allow. I would have been forced to pick who was getting training and who was not which would most likely cause some friction between the team members.
Read full review The custom, integrated, online content, along with school libraries, makes this product superior to PearDeck. Nearpod exceeds PowerPoint because of the ease of use, the student paced lessons, and the ability to embed CFUs.
Read full review Return on Investment I am aiming to have passed the first exam by January and I believe ITPro.TV is helping me achieve this goal. Having these two new qualifications with the help of ITPro.TV will enabled my business to be "Cyber Ready" This will enable us to offer advice to our clients for moving their business' forward. Read full review The impact is awesome. It gives students a digital option other than PowerPoint for presentations. The feedback tool allows you to follow students in realtime. The shallow learning curve made it easy encourage other faculty to try it. Read full review ScreenShots
