One of the best paid training tools for tech teams
I've used Pluralsight Skills for my team's training demands. All in all, I really recommend this as this provides a wide array of topics in software development and more. If you are looking for an effective way to learn programming languages with hands-on application, this is for you. Just bear in mind that this is not free so prepare your payment method.
Pros
1. Up-to-date topics related to software development, and other facets in technology
2. Accessible anywhere - You can access it through desktop, mobile browser, and its app
3. Recognized - You can link your certifications in LinkedIn
4. Certifications
Cons
1. Expensive
2. For free trial, still requires mode of payment

Simple Review
The platform is very well organized. you can bookmark courses and it remembers where you left off the next time you log in. The downloaded material for coding along with the instructors making the learning process very interesting.
Pros
the vast library of videos with all sorts of technology from different sources. Courses in English with subtitles, in some courses, but very well spoken. The uniform sound for starting and finishing a module. The system to earn badges as per achievements accomplished. The ability to take an IQ test and assess where you are, in terms of the skills you need and the summary that helps identify what to strengthen.
Cons
The price could be a bit lower for individuals, beginners who are not sure that programming is their path in life.

Gives competitive edge to my career
Listening to the courses gave me inspiration as well as great tips that often helped me reach highier levels of my career as a Software Engineer.
Pros
Knowledge is easily accessible through high quality content.
Cons
Leaves me a bit without a tool to plan long term - I used OneNote and Evernote for few years to keep track of past/in-progress/planned courses - I've given up a bit and got used to Channels - although they get a bit hard to use after exceeding 20-30 items on a list.

Professional training on demand
I have been able to use the learnings from many courses directly to my daily work. It is a great way of quickly getting up to speed on a topic.
Pros
There is a vast amount of content available. The videos all follow a similar pattern making the entire learning process, regardles of the subject, familiar. Different levels of training ensures you can receive in-depth training of a subject, regardless of the level you start at. Having transcripts available is great, as some courses can be covered by reading the transcript when watching a video is not an option.
Cons
The ratings of some courses may not be reflective of your view, and you may find stopping a course early as it isn't covering a topic as you would have hoped. However there are multiple videos on a topic so usually there is an alternative that may suit better.

Great learning tool for employees
Pros
Offer all the courses for the price of one.
Courses can be customised based on company needs, can be grouped teamwise too.
Great learning/training material for AWS certifications
Cons
Individual courses cannot be purchased which makes it a bit expensive if you want to only learn a particular course

Review for Pluralsight
Overall it's a good platform to learn and enhance your skills. Recommended.
Pros
It has a wide variety of courses and some of the trainers are just amazing, the slides and animations are very easy to understand. It also have skill test with quality questions to test your knowledge.
Cons
The subscription price is on the higher side. Also there is no code editor to practice coding. They could have their own inbuilt code-editor.

Best Way to Learn on the Go!
Pros
I love the portability! I can access Pluralsight everywhere I go; on my phone, tablet, and on web browsers. I enjoy many of the features, my favorite one being that I can download the course onto my devices. Pluralsight is an amazing study tool, I've passed two certification exams thanks to the great courses!
Cons
I wish that there was an auto-play option for web browsers.

Content well organized
Overall my experience with PluralSight has been very positive.
Pros
I really enjoy the ease of use of the PluralSight Web Site interface. That allows me to quickly search courses and add them to a Custom created Learning Channel. The course content is well organized and well broken up into manageable sections.
Cons
I have been fortunate that only a few courses the presenters audio was sort of difficult to make out. I had to turn on Close Captioning. One thing that I have noticed a little, that would definitely quickly cause me concern is not having available the latest content.

Bring the training at your home. It is very affordable
For the price of an half day of class room training, you get access to a whole breadth of IT related trainings. Some of them are really great.
Pros
Many subjects available. Can watch video's whenever I like
Cons
Lots of high level overview trainings (e.g. on Azure Data Platform). I find it hard to find more focused, concrete trainings

I recommend pluralsight as resource for training, reference and refresh.
Pros
Convenient, easy to use and diverse relevant topics available. Can create and recommend course tracks to colleagues.
Cons
Sometimes the progress tracking goes wonky but not often and I have a suspicion its due to some condition that sometimes affects relation between the tablet mobile application and web access.

Reach Proficiency Speedily with Pluralsight
Pluralsight has been great. I tend to watch at least a couple videos a week. Sometimes I have to brush up on old skills, learn new skills for my job, or look ahead at skills I may one day put to use.
Pros
I like how easy it is to get to the topics I need to learn. Most of the time at my job, I have projects and deadlines that I am actively working towards, so being able to learn what I need when I need is a must.
Cons
While it's easy to get at great educational videos, it could be nice in some cases to have additional functionality. For example, when learning a new frontend framework or technique, it could be advantageous to be able to edit code examples from within the site. That may be well beyond the scope of Pluralsight, and perhaps wouldn't make sense due to the breadth of content, but is something that could certainly be beneficial.

Tons of high quality courses on all kinds of subjects.
I was hooked in with the free weekend of Pluralsight. I completed a course over the weekend and got a lot out of it. When they offered a massive discount for their Black Friday sale I couldn't pass it up. I'm currently taking my 3rd course.
Pros
The ability to track my progress and download the courses onto my iPad when I'm on the road is a great feature. The coder evaluations are a nice touch.
Cons
Some of the courses available seem to be a bit outdated. There's plenty of great content, but you really have to do some due diligence to make sure you're learning the latest technology especially with the web development courses.

PluralSight Great for Beginners!
I have enjoyed my time using PluralSight. I began using the program with zero experience. After using PluralSight in these six months, I can proudly say that I have developed and strengthened my practical IT, Excel, Operating System, etc. skills.
Pros
I enjoy the ease of use in PluralSight. There seems to be a never-ending array of topics and subjects to learn from. Navigating between them is easy.
Cons
I slightly dislike that the majority of the learning is visual. I would like some practice exercises and comprehension questions in order to better grasp the knowledge.

Pluralsight for K-12
I use the software weekly and have learned from it. Again, I would benefit more with more the interactive course.
Pros
The software offers many tutorials for almost anything you want to learn when it comes to coding. The videos are very easy to listen to and follow. The instructors are highly knowledgeable. The IQ test is beneficial.
Cons
There are not many interactive courses available. Increasing the ability to use a test environment to practice the new skills is highly desirable. I like Codecademy for this purpose.
