Overall Satisfaction with Pluralsight
Pluralsight is both a tool used by myself and colleagues to expand knowledge for new and familiar technical concepts alike. Additionally, it is also a way to provide training to new hires. In the field of information technology, new advances happen almost every day, and as professionals, we are expected to be consistently ahead of the curve in support of the needs of our customers. Pluralsight gives us a central location to receive training on technologies we need to be familiar with in order to effectively serve our clients or business.
- It gives you a central location to track progress, listen to lectures and take exams on the subject matter.
- It gives the company one way to manage training across IT, marketing and other business disciplines.
- The user interface is fairly easy to use and the number of courses or subjects available is quite good.
- Finding ways to make courses more interactive and less lecture oriented would be helpful.
- Quality of video and audio lectures could use updating to meet current expectations.
- Continuing to stay on the bleeding edge of technology. Some classes can be outdated.
- It helped me get acquainted with a new technology that I needed to support without having to flounder and click around.
- Without buy in from management, it can go to waste if not actually used by employees. I saw that happen often.
- With more knowledgeable employees, the risk of them moving on to new roles is increased.
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.
