Pluralsight Arvostelua 

Avoid Pluralsight at any cost. Do not buy anything from them because you won't be able to cancel your paid plan. They are crooks and thieves.

I canceled the subscription, and they are still sending me invoices, threatening the collection agency if I don't pay.

This is extremely sick corporate tactic. Similar like Adobe, you also can't cancel without paying a fee - all these corporations are behaving increasingly aggressively.

Avoid.

Signed up for the free trial and quickly noticed that the majority of the caurse is locked. There is standard subscription for £24 and premium for £36. I paid £24 to continue the caurse, only to find it (plus other courses) where still locked. Pluralsight informed me I would need to pay a further £14 to view the locked content. In total £42 was paid and I feel well and truly SCAMMED! Never again, misleading dishonest business, AVOID!

I was introduced to pluralsight by my company in 2016. At that time they had videos on so many topics, Kotlin, Kafka android development, Flutter, React etc. Videos were very consistent in delivering the contents and it was fun to learn something new every week even if that learning adds no business value to my profile.

Over the time somehow Pluralsight started retiring courses for no obvious reasons. As of now if you browse thru the courses, you will find they are heavily inclined towards AWS. Kubernetes -> setting up cluster in AWS, docker -> running docker on Aws, Python, Run Python on AWS, Kafka -> how to get Kafka up and running on AWS... React-> how to get your first react app up and running on AWS...

My god, not everyone uses AWS. not everyone is a fan of AWS. why pluralsight is pushing AWS so much?

After retaining my membership for years, it was time to relinquish as I'm not interested in AWS. Other contents are clearly limited. They keep on adding bells and whistles to their platform not paying any attention to the content.

I'd recommend Udemy or if you want better content and a vast array of topics, go for O Reilly. They not only have video courses, but books and also training sessions with high rated and the last time I knew they also added a playground to try out the code, online.

I was surprised by the negative feedback. I signed up for a 10-day free trial today and received clear information that if you don't cancel within 10 days, you will be charged. Some users said it's impossible to cancel, but I found a "cancel" button in my account, which worked fine. The tutorials also seems really good to me.

Perhaps there is some confusion about reading the pop-up messages and emails from Pluralsight?

It is not possible to remove payment details or cancel a business subscription on the website. They make you "email your contact" who doesn't get back to you for weeks.

I've had to point out their PCI obligations.

Just no.

I was just considering a trial, and it wasn't obvious how long this would last for, so I thought I'd try and ask (I later found it's 10 days / 200 mins of use, supposedly - although people complain about being charged off the bat).

I tried to use the chat bot to ask them. Two issues:

1) They ask relentless questions before you can chat to a (supposed) person. If I'd continued, I think they would have asked my social security number and names of my pets!

2) The chat window loses focus every time they reply. You have to click in just the right area to type a counter-reply. Such poor coding makes you wonder what their courses will be like and who they're hiring!

I am avoiding at the first hurdle, especially now reading some of the other experiences on here. I miss the days of TrainSignal who were actually good (before they were bought by this lot)

I would strongly recommend to avoid dealing with this company. They hide behind their T&C's in a very petty way, not at all in the spirit of business or being a human.

I started my journey with Pluralsight's standard plan and quickly upgraded to the premium due its effectiveness. Now, as I enter my second year, I've not only renewed my subscription but also discovered unparalleled value in Pluralsight's offerings compared to other learning platforms.

The platform provides the freedom to learn any skill from the extensive library with over 7,000 courses. The goal-oriented learning paths, skill assessments, and certification preparation, along with professional mock exams from third-party applications, have been incredibly beneficial.

I noticed that my PowerShell skills have been dramatically improved, and became a core skill for me. I started automating processes for my organization, and my team and seniors have recognized my skills. As a result, I have become a member of the automation team. In essence, Pluralsight has become a household name in my lifelong learning journey.

Just trying a Wireshark course but it was missing the exercise files, now im waiting for support to get back to me....not a great start.

I must admit they have made many improvements recently and I am enjoying the updated content. Keep it up and good job.

Thieves - sign you up as auto renew and debit your card without warning and you cannot get your money back. Honestly just thieves.

Thieves!

Free trial is a scam! They debit your card immediately and then They tell you they cannot issue refunds! I asked them to delete my data and issue a refund. They deleted the data and claimed they cannot issue a refund because my data has been deleted and cannot be undone! Thrives! I don’t even use the site or find it useful. Terrible. Do not bother with what they call a free trial. And get this - they charge you for an annual subscription so it’s very heavy. And they cannot return your money. I will report this to the highest levels until I get my money back!

The company inexplicably closed my account, despite the fact that I purchased a year long subscription only 4 months ago. It's impossible to reach a human being. Calls to their support number, 801-784-9007, are forwarded to an automated message instructing the user to email. Then the connection is terminated.
I have yet to receive a response from customer support from the email I sent. I will contact my credit card company and dispute their charge. It doesn't matter how great the courses are if the company just takes your money and can't stand behind its product.

Bought some of their courses from another platform in late 2022, saw nowhere specifications about said courses being time based subscription and found out recently that I'd not paid for those courses but "just subscribed".
Carry your money elsewhere, there are alternatives more clear about what are you paying for with your money.

Unfortunately, I didn’t google search for the company before.
Once you sign with them, be sure that they will try to charge you for as long as you live, based, as they say, on their TERMS AND CONDITIONS. You don’t have the option to cancel through the website, and you will somehow have to contact someone 30 days before expiration, this someone will not answer, and at the end of the year they ask you to pay for renewal.
I was totally lucky as my card had expired so they couldn’t charge me for the next year! STILL, they keep sending me emails claiming that I owe them the money for the next year subscription, although I don’t use their service at all!
After several back-and-forth emails they almost blackmailed me!
I really hope these guys will go down soon.

Very sneaky terms and conditions. I signed up my service desk for a 12 months subscription. After monitoring the platform, I noticed we weren't using it enough to warrant the cost. PluralSight then proceeded to send me a invoice for 3500 dollars demanding payment. Granted, I missed the 30 day termination (hidden in their terms) but when their Sales rep sold us the platform, they were never clear on this.

Take your money elsewhere and do no deal with these absolute crooks, disgusting company and extremely poor business model. I certainly will never use them again, and will be informing all my friends partners and resellers to avoid at all costs.

I have used them occasionally when an employer has paid for them, or been given a free trial.

Basically they are not worth paying for, as most of their content is either years out of date or or a half-arsed cash-grab by a content creator who seems to be day drinking while preparing the course.

If you have money to burn, sure, why not, but to be honest, there's so much free content on YouTube that's both newer and better, that it seems worthless to use Pluralsight.

This website is corrupted, do not put your payment information on there. They do not offer a way to remove your payment method, one must always be active and cannot be removed. The support team does not reply to your cancelation requests either.

I've used Pluralsight for a Google Cloud Digital Leader Certification. The online course content was great. It was engaging and had plenty of quizzes to test my knowledge along the way. I would highly recommend!
