The fact that participants don't get a crippled environment to learn technical skills, but get the real thing (Instruqt does this through Docker containers or virtual machines). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Sometimes it's hard to create the checks to see if a student/user passed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides hosting challenge-based courses, you can also offer sandbox environments for your software so that people can try it out without having to install anythiing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

Very ease to use and get up to speed with no vendor lock-in as it uses standards (Markdown, YAML, bash)

The user interface is quite efficient and easy

Company support is awesome (commercial discussions are kind and not pushy)

Helps a lot on creating new content, even some we didn't think about

The CLI does the job Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Would be nice to be able to run it in the infrastrucure of our choice (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, on-prem data center) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instruqt solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to provide hands-on workshops in neutral and invidual environments

We also need a user interface like what Katacoda provided with instructions and terminals (and more like web browsers) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt allows us to quickly and easily create labs for various use cases. These include labs for self-learning, guided trainings, demos or even proof-of-concepts. During the evaluation of other competing products, it quickly became clear that this number of use cases is only possible with Instruqt.

In addition to the wide range of use cases, it was the only provider that understood GitOps. We create and maintain all labs with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and version them in Git. The integration feels very natural. Maintaining the labs with IaC in Git has the great advantage that they are versioned, we reuse the same components between different labs and thus all labs can be updated to the latest software version very easily. But that's not all - thanks to automated tests, we can also ensure that the labs are not broken by the update.

To quickly create a lab without writing code, you can also click together and configure everything in the user interface.

We currently use Instruqt to start a Kubernetes environment and deploy the workload. It works great. During the evaluation, we checked whether classic virtual machines can also be started, which have individual software on them (no standard linux). And yes, the test was successful. We can imagine expanding our labs for this purpose in the future.

From a business perspective, Instruqt is also a very interesting solution. On the one hand, we don't need any knowledge of a hyper scaler (AWS, Azure, GCP, ...) and can concentrate our know-how on our labs. In addition, we can see who (if this information is requested), when and how often the labs have been carried out. This gives us new opportunities to learn about our users and potential customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Almost nothing, actually. I see potential for improvement in sharing the roadmap a little more actively and openly. We would also like an easier way to define custom images with IaC (Infrastructure as Code). This feature is not yet available. However, we have been told that it will be available next year. The IaC approach is also very important to the company, which you can feel when using it. I am therefore confident and hope that the feature will appear at the beginning of next year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instruqt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing and expanding an infrastructure for training, demos and proof-of-concepts, lead generation. We can concentrate on our core competencies and gain exciting insights thanks to reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt is easy to get started with, their CLI and UI provide a great way to get started quickly with building out content and lab material. It's simple to provide specific environments in which participants can do their hands-on labs. Any questions are swiftly answered on their Slack channels. Overall a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

There are some features that could improve ease of use for content builders, but these are roadmapped and are definitely not show-stoppers from using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instruqt solving and how is that benefiting you?

It replaces an old no longer maintained piece of software which we were using previously, but then 100x better, with more features and a simple interface. Using instruqt we can now easily scale out to whatever size lab we need to give without any manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

The possibility to create lab challenges result in giving a student a clear goal to achieve. It provides more possibilities compared to the standard labs environment, which improves the learning experience.

Been using it now for multiple years with satisfaction of our (training) customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

I didn't experienced any negative points till this point. The possibilities are endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instruqt solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a safe environment to work on a variety of technology subjects. We use it to create a safe demo environment and also used it a few times as a backup for a standard lab (which got stuck during a training). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

It's a well thought out, commercial alternative of interactive learning platforms. There are others out there but this one is the best I've seen so far. They make it very easy to implement learning solutions for your customers, particularly if you have a somewhat complex environment to integrate with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instruqt?

Great UX that is far better than others I have seen and used. The interactive lab portal is the best of its kind that I have come across for training. I have used Instruqt as an instructor for workshops and taken workshops and used it as a participant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

I have no complaints at this time other than better organization of the initial UI loading with the amount of courses for instructors being a bit clunky. Would be better if this can be organized by product, but maybe that is something my company's admins haven't enabled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instruqt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Practical hands on learning with the lab portal is amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
