Likelihood to Recommend Awesome tool for teams looking to gain new skills or refine and update existing skills. I love the convenience of using this tool for recertification credits (i.e. PMP). Instead of identifying which classes I need to take, I can identify my interests and have recommendations presented for what paths I should take. It is a really helpful tool to create ladders for my team to transition from one role into the next. I think this is going to be a really beneficial tool.
Read full review Good for an organization who are in health care and in ABA. Not so good everyone else. There are courses specific to the industry, however, the glitches and the lack of support from the customer service staff makes it hard to recommend the product.
Read full review Pros Pluralsight has hundreds of authors that are constantly producing new content, which is valuable for the tech industry that is constantly moving at a brisk pace. Many content authors are respected leaders in the topic they're presenting. You are able to trust that their content is thorough and authentic. Niche expert-level topics are presented in a curated video format which is difficult to find anywhere else. Read full review The gamification elements are fun, and our staff enjoys decorating their crests. The ability to personalize our reminders ensures that compliance stays top-of-mind. User-friendly doesn't do it justice - zero training is needed on how to use the system because it's so intuitive! Read full review Cons Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example. Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view. Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature. I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application. Read full review Reporting is abominable, hasn't been updated in over 4 years. Organization of courses, modules, training plans, skills checklists, manuals, and tests— a lot of options and very challenging to differentiate Their mobile application is not user-friendly, it crashes, doesn't load certain courses, doesn't play audio on other ones, and has very poor performance.

Read full review RMLS have become an important component of our agency's support systems. It provides consistent context for education and trainings as well as being flexible to allow staff to access it on their time. We have found many of the content sessions to be very useful for staff development and supportive of our overall agency goals and strategies.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Before using Pluralsight, staff was using YouTube to help them with developing certain aspects of their knowledge. However, YouTube is much less structured/organized than Pluralsight. Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content. One quick search and we can get started.
Read full review Relias has significantly more and higher quality training courses and video offerings than any competitor in the space. At the end of the day, it's about the caregivers receiving as much information they can to be successful.
Read full review Return on Investment One positive impact is it has kept our employees engaged in the material they work with every day. Instead of becoming stagnant and complacent, they are actively searching out ways to develop skills and do more with the tools available to them. It saves money when it comes to offering training and development opportunities company-wide. It would be much more costly to invest in specialized training for that number of employees. One potential negative is the amount of company time spent on coursework over work responsibilities. A balance must be struck and individuals should be encouraged to explore the training on their own time. Read full review We have been able to manage a large amount of training for a diverse work force more efficiently. We are adding functionality to be able to use the system to circulate materials to our workforce where documentation of knowledge/understanding is needed, Read full review ScreenShots
