Use Cases and Deployment Scope
[Infosec Skills] is being used just by me, not the company.
Pros and Cons
  • Extensive library of content
  • Content is broken into bite-sized focused areas
  • Practice tests seem to do a fair job of identifying areas of competency
  • Would be nice [for] Android/IOS/Roku apps to view video content on (Or the ability to cast).
  • Course progress tracker sometimes doesn't work right when marking a video as complete.
  • Post results of [the] practice exam should indicate the section/domain that you need work on (Break down by the amount of right/wrong per section of [the] test).
  • Price seems to kind of high for individuals outside of an organization (Initially, there were no annual plans to save on monthly costs and I can't seem to be able to change it without canceling my account).
Likelihood to Recommend
Does a good job of getting professionals the CEUs and training needed for certifications in multiple fields. Doesn't appear to have any advanced metrics to determine how a person is doing within the field (Post-test data metrics).
Return on Investment
  • Hopefully a new cert soon
  • CEU credits for current certs
  • Staying up-to-date with cybersecurity
Alternatives Considered
More or less the same as others I have used. Minus Infosec Skills does not have apps or smart tv/casting ability. Udemy PRO is also a better value $$$ for content. O'Reilly costs more but includes digital books for the most respected industry books. Infosec Skills has better testing/quizzes built in so far that I have used.

Doesn't work well on mobile devices in the browser and no app support. Getting items to mark as fully completed can be a pain.

I had used infosec skills for my training and development purpose. I am in cyber security and this domain required me to do some internationally recognized certifications and infosec skills had helped in clearing these certifications. Their training instructors was awesome and practice questions quality was great. With the help of infosec skill i had cleared CISSP and CRISC exam.
Pros and Cons
  • Exam Practice Questions
  • Price
  • Training content
  • Great training instructors
  • Mobile app should be there so that we can learn on the go
  • Website can be more user friendly
  • More payment options would be appreciated
Likelihood to Recommend
Infosec skills platform has updated course content with the latest industry trends. It was very cost effective for me.

The biggest isssue i have with infosec skills was, they do not have android / IOS app. Apart from it i would suggest them to more focus on flash cards based study so that student would be able to remember certain difficult terms.
Return on Investment
  • Earned cyber security certifications
  • Several cyber security skills developed
  • Client appreciation for doing something new

With Infosec Skills it is very easy to use and learn about technology. I learn about Linux, cybersecurity, cloud, and more. The courses are very specialized for different things referent to information. I recommend this space to learn all about the administration of the operative system, networking, and security. The teachers are cool. 100% recommended.

This is the right solution for Security education and preparation for certifications

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Infosec Skills as my primary source of technical education for my duties. We are also trying to run a trial of the awareness training solution of Infosec. I select my path to learn. I'm really satisfied with the quality of the content that Infosec brings in the platform. I've already recommend Infosec to all my colleagues when I speak with them about education and certifications.

In the future we are going to integrate a group of developers to the courses regarding to secure code topics. The only issue I have seen through all this time using the platform is that it sometimes shows me a disconnection message, but after some refresh in the browser it comes back to normal.
Pros and Cons
  • Great content.
  • Well organized.
  • The content is up to date.
  • Very good labs to help you get skilled in the topic.
  • The teachers have great experience in the area of knowledge they are [teaching].
  • You have the record of all your activities and the progress of your courses.
  • You have exams very similar to the cert exams.
  • Exam vouchers.
  • I would like to see the instructors not just the slides of the contents.
  • I would like to be able to save the progress of the labs.
  • I really need a mobile app to be able to keep studying on the go.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for IT departments, for educational institutes to prepare some alliances to bring the same content to the students, for individual use, for every tech guy which wants to get prepared by himself, for developers to learn how to improve their code from a security approach and for ones which want to be updated with the needed knowledge of their area of work.

It will also be well suited when you want to progress or do a crossover to the cyber-security world, but if you don't have enough knowledge or experience in networking, coding or some other areas. You are not going to get that kind of courses in the platform, so you need to look for basic courses in another sites.
Return on Investment
  • Excellent path for me.
  • I have access to the education I want to be a better professional.
  • In February, I was promoted to security analyst and I had at least the basic knowledge thanks to Infosec Skills.
  • I have never been in touch with pentest labs or skills, and now I've been taking the courses in Skills and I know what is all about.
  • Now I'm getting a solid knowledge in risk management thanks to the offer I got in Skills.
Alternatives Considered
In some cases, Infosec Skills' content it is more updated than others, the price it is more affordable than others, the organization of the content it is better and it has better labs.

In Infosec, you have their learning paths which help you to get specific courses for a specific goal. For example, a certification or to get some specialization in an area where you want to. This is why I decided, after running some trials, to stay with Infosec.
Role-Based Learning
Yes, I'm very excited because I'm learning about risk management, CEH, and security auditor, so now I have another approach to my professional profile. I have some challenges in my job- I have to prepare some security controls, I also have to recommend a security framework to be implemented in the company and most of the information I'm getting is from Infosec Skills.

In the risk area, I have been able to go step-by-step with the required knowledge I was asked for my role, the same for ethical hacking, I've been working the learning path of the official ethical hacking learning path and I'm really happy with the experience I'm getting in Skills.
Hands-On Training
I have some projects assigned and most of the information I need, I'm able to get from the courses offered at Infosec Skills.

As I mentioned before, I have all the progress recorded in the platform. In some cases, the courses of a learning path are shared with another learning path, so I'm able to get as a completed course if I did in the path, saving time and getting progress more quickly.

I'm really excited with the experience. I hope that Infosec keeps getting better and better with the excellent offer they have with this product.
Usability

Because I have all the progress saved in my profile, It is not a 10 because I really want a mobile app for me to be able to keep learning in the go. I just have one complaint and it is that one, Infosec must put out a mobile app.

It is a good platform to get your career to another level. I trust in the level of knowledge and experience of the instructors, and in the quality of the material as well. I know that if someone like me get into Skills, I would get the same impression I have experienced for all this time I've been working with Skills.
