Featured Reviews

Kaushal Kedia - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at Accenture
Facilitates professional development with comprehensive assessments and customizable learning materials
Pluralsight has something called Technology Quotient, TQ, which includes very good sessions. What's noteworthy is that, if I am unable to answer any question during an assessment, it shows which part of the video covers the answer. This makes it convenient as I don't have to search through the entire video. Additionally, the assessments are quite good, providing valuable feedback on areas that may require improvement.
Guarav Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Nestlé
Rapid on-demand learning has boosted project delivery and supported cross-functional skills
Some of the best features that Udemy Business offers are low cost, latest content, and value for money. A wide range of instructors contribute courses. Learners have options to choose from. There are lots of fresh updates to the content. It serves tech and non-tech professionals very well. It is best for cross-functional capability building and is also user-intuitive for administrators. Out of those features such as low cost, latest content, wide range of instructors, and fresh updates, the low cost stands out the most for my team because it is very affordable, even for a small organization working on a tight budget. The updates on the latest courses are very good. We are able to learn new things every day. Udemy Business has positively impacted my organization by cutting costs by replacing expensive external training by 50%. It accelerates project delivery through fast, on-demand upskilling. It boosts confidence, capability, and long-term retention.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We find the courses with high ratings and popularity to be most valuable. If the content is applicable, we encourage team members to use it. Regarding skill assessment, I haven't used that feature much, but we've done a few trainings with evaluations, which have been helpful for learning."
"The entire curriculum needs to be systematically organized into sections, allowing for a seamless resumption of learning."
"The fact that I could pause the training and restart another day was convenient."
"We are happy with the tool's skill assessment. It helps with skill enhancement, competency, and company development."
"The value is good because Pluralsight provides a common platform for all learning materials and is customizable to organizations' needs."
"The value is good because Pluralsight provides a common platform for all learning materials and is customizable to organizations' needs."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"Udemy Business has positively impacted my organization by providing me with higher quality frontline employees with no subject matter expert present."
"The best feature Udemy Business offers is the comprehensive course selection."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud computing content. While Udemy Business offers training and knowledge across various areas, I use it for cloud computing technologies. Many videos and tutorials are available on this topic, which benefits me."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The platform is user-friendly and straightforward to navigate."
"Udemy Business has positively impacted my organization by cutting costs by replacing expensive external training by 50%, accelerating project delivery through fast, on-demand upskilling, and boosting confidence, capability, and long-term retention."
"For those passionate about computing, networking, or programming, Udemy is one of the best platforms to choose, as it offers affordable courses that you can take at your own pace."
"The Udemy Business platform has a list of courses and a dashboard."
 

Cons

"Improving the platform's ability to accommodate user queries would be beneficial for further enhancement."
"The course quality was not very good for the information systems auditor and risk manager courses."
"The navigation could be improved to be more user-friendly."
"The website is not up to date."
"I think the assessments in Pluralsight are already good, but it would be helpful if there were explanations for incomplete questions or for which we couldn't provide a proper answer."
"The product needs to become mobile-based. The number of courses is less compared to Udemy and Coursera."
"One area that Udemy Business can be improved is that some courses are outdated or lack depth, which can be frustrating when seeking comprehensive and current information."
"The tool needs to improve courses on recent advancements."
"Can improve by providing courses on the latest tech launches"
"While most videos have good audio quality, some could be improved."
"Udemy should offer more courses on network troubleshooting and provide easy lectures for everyone to understand, starting from the basics."
"One area for improvement is ensuring that courses are updated regularly. Often, courses are not updated according to the schedule mentioned by the instructors. It would be beneficial if Udemy Business had a process to evaluate and ensure timely course updates."
"We can have something like an organization account. Even for small groups, if we can have some account where we can create a group. Right now I either purchase a course license or attend free courses and then send the link to my team members to join from their accounts. Instead of that, maybe we can have a corporate or group account where we can add people and assign courses to them."
"The product must provide fewer updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license every month, subscription-wise."
"The cost is very high for Indian users."
"The tool's licensing costs are annual. It is optimal, neither expensive nor cheap."
"You can purchase individual courses and complete them at your own pace. If you want to explore more topics, you can purchase additional courses. It's a one-time purchase for each course, not a monthly subscription."
"The platform offers decent pricing"
"We have individual subscriptions for five to six users."
"I didn't take any licenses. I purchased courses."
"The courses can be expensive."
"Udemy Business' pricing is moderate."
"The tool's pricing is good and reasonable."
"I suppose there is a license for the tool at the company level, but not for individuals."
