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.

Pluralsight offers a much stronger technology learning opportunity than Lynda.com, but lags behind Lynda.com in its soft skills training. As a technical manager, I often recommend Pluralsight to my engineers for learning new skills but will use Lynda.com myself for improving my people management skill set. It seems the two are aiming for different target audiences, and thus I use them each differently.

Pluralsight is simply more robust and makes more sense for an organization like ours where we want our employees to have the freedom to explore a wide variety of disciplines, and the adaptability to start/stop courses at any skill level. On a trial basis, the feedback from our team was nothing but positive, and had a major impact in our selecting Pluralsight over other alternatives.

Lynda is a very similar experience. Used it for a very short time and it was tied to classes at a university that I was taking. I think overall it would be very comparable. We only watched small segments that the instructors of the class found to be relevant. It was also great being the class was online in this case.

Although alternative e-learning platforms, such as Coursera, offer a wide variety of learning topics, their broad reach and extensive list subject matter clutters their platform. Unlike Pluralsight, Coursera offers a more classic / regimented style of online learning. It's very much like taking an online college class ... a matter of fact, that's basically what they are. Many of the courses are backed or taught by professors from various accredited universities, but the typical syllabus style learning and homework deadlines take away from online learning or training. In my eyes, Pluralsight stands far superior due to the style of learning that focuses on a micro approach rather than Coursera's macro approach. Coursera is likely to host many courses that are complete 'duds' - where as Pluralsight's courses are refined and vetted.

Coursera: more variety, accredited schools, certification, mapped, homework, regimented.

  • Treehouse
Treehouse and Pluralsight are in similar realms: video content for technology professionals. They're different in that Treehouse is geared towards beginners and people looking to switch careers to break into the industry and Pluralsight is better suited for seasoned professionals that want to hone skills and learn enterprise-level topics.

Treehouse is able to really simplify a topic for almost anyone to understand. They clearly have a standard that all teachers ("authors") must follow. After a section, there's a good chance you'll take a short quiz to make sure you understand what you heard. Quizzes are not just multiple choice, you might also have to write a piece of code that accomplishes a goal that was just discussed.

Pluralsight has professional and expert level content that Treehouse does not. There's not a strict standard that all authors ("teachers") must follow for providing content. Authors tend to have their own style of teaching. Very few of the courses will quiz you on comprehension. You are more responsible for your understanding of the information.

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.

I think pluralsight's price point is a little better, and I think the depth and breadth of classes offered is oriented more towards my field than Coursera. While Coursera has a nicer interface, Pluralsight, at the time, had more classes and seems to be designed for enterprise use whereas Coursera is more for individuals.

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 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.

Pluralsight has a broader offering, from design and drawing to enterprise software development. It offers content from professionals to professionals on well known technologies.
Most other competitors focus on few technologies and the offering is not as rich. They also don't offer business accounts, generally speaking.
