We as an IT department need to be up to date, and Pluralsight is kinda a shortcut to get short, intense courses to familiarize all teams with the same concepts.
  • Translated to almost all languages.
  • Offline and mobile downloads.
  • Up-to-date courses.
  • More ways to search/browse. You can't filter/sort on ratings, etc.
  • Help center is still missing some of my questions.
  • Chatting support at least as premium user!
  • Cannot share into LinkedIn, only share post!
It is suited for big picture, and not for hands-on walk-through tutorials for example.
  • Self-development technically.
  • Supports organizational goals.
  • Helps in decision making.
  • Guides team more accurately toward vision.
It had more discounted offers back then... and still, more marketing is done. It's cheaper than LinkedIn Learning.

Downside, PluralSight is more [theoretical] than hands-on.

Each feedback I do for them, I get no response. Minimal communication and followups!

So, it's used by the Data Engineering team and other teams primarily for data courses, such as Spark, Scala, Amazon Web Services, SQL. We've solved the recommendations engine by processing 5TB of raw data a day using Spark Pipelines, and the Pluralsight course helped me and my team to a great extent.
  • It saves the course progress, which helps a lot to catch up where you left off.
  • I love the Pluralsight Application for Apple TV, it's simply awesome.
  • I like the course path structure and the difficulty level on courses.
  • The Apple TV app sometimes skip to next category when skipping the video which is really an issue.
From the experience of usage by my team and me, it's highly suited for my team, and I'll be glad to recommend to my colleagues and my friends.

  • Because of the recommendation engine we've heavily boosted our economy which wouldn't have happened without Pluralsight's Spark courses.

Pluralsight is the best ever tool/software that I have seen for online courses. It is being used across our organization and users are learning most of our new technologies through Pluralsight only. We have a mandate to complete courses through Pluralsight for personal development goals as well. Cost saving is the main purpose we enroll users and enforce using online courses. Here we have too many different courses available, and users/employees are searching and learning new languages or technologies on their own according to their areas of interest. It is very beneficial and best for your personal growth. If people are growing then obviously it will benefit the organization.
  • Best Mobile Application UI and 5000+ courses available.
  • Enrolling on mobile devices is very easy, and you can register multiple devices on a single ID. Access to all courses is very seamless.
  • Best feature is bookmarking the courses you are interested to watch later. Also, you can continue your course anytime you want where you have left off.
  • Course completion certificate.
  • There are only courses related to technology. They don't offer courses on online marketing or social media.
  • Many times courses are long and lengthy, which discontinues effective learning.
  • Some videos have poor voice and video quality.
Pluralsight is heading in right direction and has lot of content which we is available unlimited times. I would highly recommend this software and you should enroll yourself in it in order to fulfill your personal goals. Its most useful application is technology wise and for tech savvy guys. For social media and other than technology courses, it is not best and you won't get appropriate content on Pluralsight.
  • People can achieve their goals other than daily work which eventually will help the organization to grow.
  • Cost saving for overall learning and development, and users can take any courses and see them unlimited times whenever they want.
  • It is very crucial and it plays vital role in terms of business objectives and impact.
Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content with more features in it compared to Udemy. My organization has adapted and gained trust by using Pluralsight and it has very nice offering for organization level. Udemy is not focusing on technology but on other courses, and they don't have best business offering available.

In our department, developers use Pluralsight to get up to speed on new or unfamiliar technologies that we think will prove useful to the products we market. For example, when one of our applications was too slow, developers started watching Pluralsight courses on AngularJS. This led to updating our product to use AngularJS for the front-end and customers love the speed. This led to a decision to upgrade another product and many of the consultants began watching Angular 2 courses on Pluralsight.
  • When it comes to Microsoft tools, languages and techniques, Pluralsight brings its customers the very latest in content. Just after the release of ASP.NET Core 2.0 came out they had a course available online.
  • The instructors are top-notch. You get incredible presenters such as Paul Sheriff, Shawn Wildermuth, Scott Allen and more. All are incredibly articulate and provide great download code.
  • Pluralsight offers a cool set of tools that let you take a test and see where you stand on the learning curve of a given technology. This lets you know where you should be brushing up on a given technology.
  • 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.
If you're a web developer you definitely need Pluralsight to stay relevant in this industry. If you're a web designer that uses tools to draw or paint web pages Pluralsight may have something for you, but not much. Another thing where Pluralsight is great is the self-assessment tests. They are a geat place to find questions and answers to use in technical interviews.
  • Pluralsight is truly cost-effective for staying relevant. An annual Pluralsight subscription for an entire team is far more cost-effective than sending one individual to in-person training for a week.
  • When we need to get up to speed on a technology, our Pluralsight subscription is right at hand. One quick search and we can get started. This helps us shorten the learning curve. Trying to find an in-person course has become difficult because the market has mostly transitioned to online courses.
I often purchase courses on from Udemy when I don't see the content I need from Pluralsight. For example, When I needed to learn AngularJS, Pluralsight had many courses but the ones on Udemy quickly explained what they were going to build in the course and they provided small segments on particular commands. With Pluralsight you often have to watch a 40 minute module to see if its going to give you what you need. Still, no one has more courses on technology that's just been released than Pluralsight. With Pluralsight I can purchase an annual subscription and then fill-in-the-blanks with $15 courses from Udemy or Packt Publishing.

Pluralsight is offered as a video resource for all faculty and students at the Art Institute of Virginia Beach. It offers training in a variety of software and IT solutions.
  • Clear videos, good resolution
  • Resource downloads
  • Variety of training
  • Offer some videos specifically to provide a more in-depth look at certain tools and attributes, rather than how to use the tools in a project.
  • Some videos are a bit lengthy.
Very appropriate for software training in all areas. Easy to use and search for specific training. Also accessible on mobile devices. Can't think of any scenerio where it is less appropriate.
  • Positive: offered training to faculty and students outside of the classroom
  • Opportunity for professional development
  • Tracked training hours for professional development
Pluralsight is a great training resource and it was offered at the college. Before being a faculty member, I found free videos from Pluralsight (then, digital tutors) via YouTube and thought they were very helpful.
