Pluralsight Reviews 985

This is one of the best training video's site out their for IT and development, I had a subscription for around 1.5 years and I learnt a lot from it.

Videos are done professionally, clear language, and good production, and just great.

Ok their price is higher than other training websites from this category, but in the end, the quality of Pluralsight videos is better than many others.

I've used LOTS of IT Course Providers and they're just OK. I would say that I do believe the subscription is very over-priced and the Linux courses are out of date/poor as they don't include Ubuntu. That said, I was able to find a course on "SED & AWK & Bash scripting* and that's impressive. So mixed feelings about Pluralsight.

I only use this site because my course forces me to. The tutorials are on the same or less level than what you can find on Youtube.

It's also ridiculously overpriced for what you get and the whole Premium tier is a greedy cruel joke.

Please do not support these kind of business practices, people.

I dont want to give 1 Star. its too much, Pluralsight are incompentent, not only do they fail to follow basic instructions 2 years on the bouce they send absuive demading comminications upon their failure. From soneone 20 years in IT i have never come acroos a worse partner. Alos dont trust account managment they are sale, refuse to action anything then when the account manager leaves its like nothing ever happend, then threaten legal action with no evidence.

I paid one-year subscription, but my account was blocked because I am a Russian citizen. Is it racism?

I had a really bad experience with this plataform. My account got blocked 2 times for no reason. Generic and threaty support answers, suggesting I was downloading videos or account sharing. I spent near a week to finish a single course, wrote around 10 emails to solve the problems.

-Poor customer service
-Does not allow you to skip videos, even though most materials on this site is way too basic and should be skipped if you value your time
-The price is too high for such courses that are so basic - I've learned more and had a better customer experience with Coursera, Linkedin Learning, and Datacamp.
-Out of all the learning platforms I tried over the years (Linkedin Learning, Coursera, Udemy, Datacamp) this is by far the worst one

Sadly I bought a month subscription to PluralSight at £36 which at payment page said "You will be paying £36 (tax included)" verbatim

They charged me £43.20 and claimed that different areas of the world required different tax...

Avoid. Sheer false advertising and will not be renewing this at all

Skillshare offers more and I wish I did more research before buying

Pluralsight claims that our subscription has auto-renewed to 10 licenses. We only need 8. This is a great platform but we will not be bullied by some obscure terms and conditions. I think it is time to try other platforms.

I cant believe this business model is legal.

They lure you in with a free trial, and then bill you hundred of dollars for a full year membership, if you are too slow to stop the subscription. Plus they make it utterly hard to find the opportunity to stop the description on their site.

The courses might be good but the business model is like Ryan Air's.

I was subscribed for 2 years through work. I found the quality of the tutorials to be excellent, but there was a big issue with a lot of them being outdated.

All the lessons were taught by knowledgeable people. However I couldn't justify over £200 for a lot of the out dated content.

The support staff at pluralsight were swift in helping me with cancellation I had no issues doing this as you do with some other subscription services.

Got told by work to start learning on this platform to up-skill.

The skill assessment are just plain ridiculous. Weird questions barely related to any experience acquired during my professional life. Awkward UX/UI makes it even more painful

The training material isn't great either; I have found better explanation on YouTube but you still cannot beat the docs or just diving into the programming library you need to move your project so far.

I would not recommend this for any dev that has significant experience. It is a waste of time, and you are better creating a project on your own time instead of using this platform.

The stole 213,01$ today from my credit card how is these company, I will take action with my bank.

Update: I got my money back and the company was real friendly actually they help me more then my bank, merci

But still I don't know why and how used my credit card to pay their service!?!?

This website claims to have a 7 day free trial, they will take your card number to make sure they are paid just in time, and they end up being a complete waste of time. I started a course on Boostrap 5 and after about 1 or 2 hours into the course i was suddently quicked out of the lesson with an error message stating that wasn't included in my membership and that i needed to upgrade the membership for $180. I just wasted 2 hours i could've used learning somewhere else. i recommend Udemy, they are way better and their membership is only $29.00 per month.

I had been a customer for a number of years, but the emails i'd received in 2020 made me reconsider ever recommending them again.
Apparently making an enquiry for corporate training X years prior makes it acceptable for their sales executives to decide to email you one day to tell you that they know where you log in from, (If you've used your work computer) and that you may be breaking their usage terms because you logged in at work recently, mentioning your employer's name aswell.. What was the guy trying to achieve? For me to get my employer to buy Pluralsight for IT teams..? It was a good service but their sales practice needs some work.. I remember using TrainSignal, aswell as when they were bought over by Pluralsight and had always rated them highly.. This left me wondering why it's suddenly ok for a salesperson to do this and for his colleagues in the account support to defend his actions with "X years ago you made an enquiry".. i understood the regular sales emails.. this "stalky" kind of email on the other hand is not "regular" anywhere else.

The above all happened about a year ago, I thought I'd had put in a review on TrustPilot so i looked for it, seems i never did, but instead i have found that they are still at it with other European customers..
Why i am writing this review now, about a year later, is that i liked using the service and i was learning from it, i liked watching the videos during my work commute, liked to practice at home when i could, but honestly it felt that stalking me everywhere i logged in and insinuating that I was breaking T&C terms to get me to buy a corporate membership is below the belt.

The emails that i received when i complained had a tone of not wishing to do anything about it, of protecting their sales person, and frankly this encouraged me to terminate my membership and my account.
On seeing a review from 2021makes it clear to me that they never re-trained the staff about this, instead it seems that the individual is still at it, stalking paying users off the platform.
Is Pluralsight ever going to do anything about this? seems not.

Disgusted. No warning about trial expiry after explicit assurance of email notification prior to trial ending means payments starts - no warning, just took my money. shame on you - disgusted with your service & will complain to everyone I meet that Pluralsight is just a con game to take money from people gullible enough to listen to your lies. Looked around for an hour, needed to cancel & was waiting for the email verification which never came. Con merchants.

What a horrible buggy platform. I can't give too much detail on the quality of the videos though I did notice on the Java path that what I could watch was much older than I anticipated. Pluralsight refuses to acknowledge there's anything wrong with their platform even when you reach ou to them and ask for assistance so nothing gets resolved. It seems incredibly odd that in October of 2021 a website that teaches coding is that buggy and problematic. Not worth it at all! Websites like Freecodecamp, Udacity, Coursera, Sololearn, Hackerrank, Codecademy, etc all work fine and are a much better option.

Signed up for a week's free trial, and then after the monthly subscription said £24. However, after only four days they took £43 out the blue meaning an important direct debit was not paid! Can't believe it, I feel CHEATED & SCAMED, never ever will I use this service again!

Youtube is better. The videos on this website is literally for people who already know the stuff and need a reminder. I'd rather watch Youtube than this.
