Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills

At first[,] I subscribed looking for Data Recovery training. Even when I did not find almost anything about that subject, I discovery the paths. The paths allow me to research more about career plans, and now I am studying to obtain various certifications, like COMPTIA, towards my goal to get certified as CISSP professional.
  • The structured paths
  • The video lessons are clear and to the point
  • They have a lot of themes and topics covered
  • I wish they have more on [the] data recovery subject
  • I wish they provide[d] PDF manuals
  • I wish they provide[d] downloadable content
  • More important to me, Infosec Skills allow me to see the big picture about IT
  • Help me to think about [my] career path in a more clear form
  • Help me to understand basic information about topics new to me
[...] I subscribed to Infosec Skills to learn and research more about data recovery because I know Infosec Skills has [...] training [specifically] about that subject. But after I subscribe[d], I saw very little and basic information about this topic.

Nonetheless, after I use[d] it for a few weeks, I started to learn about a lot of interesting topics, so I kept [using it.]
Primarily, the courses and videos help me to acquire basic information about a lot of cybersecurity topics. It was a very convenient form to start learning [...] and to be informed about so many topics we bypass.

The main benefit was to raise [awareness] about many thing[s] we don't know [...] and help me to start researching.
Maybe it is just me, but I didn't see any project applicable to our case. I prefer to use some other tools and manuals from [the] Internet. [...]

I see other projects from [the] same company, but I think they are separated from Infosec Skills, like Infosec IQ and others.
Easy to use, I like the paths. I think Infosec Skills are a great tool to start learning about a lot of topics related to information technology.

I would like to have more content, more case studies, more downloadable manuals, [checklists] or fill-in and sample documents to really use the information on specific projects for our company [...] and to offer to our clients.
Well suited, to use it as introductory training to all personnel involved on IT within the company. It will [work] well to learn basic information about a lot of topics related [to] IT, security, etc.

Less appropriate, to give specific training to specialists, or to use it as a study guide before certification exams.
