What do you like best about Skillable?

Skillable provides a virtual real time experience for students to get hands on practice with the software they wish to learn. We can put exercise files and the software on a virtual machine and have all the students log in with their individual Id's so they can get a hands on experience with the software. Adults learn better if they can follow a book, hear the instructor and practice hands on training. The success rate is far better for individuals who can do all three of the above learning methods. Skillable provides that type of atmospherre. We as instructors can also monitor the students computers and give assistance when necessary. I believe that type of training environment builds confdence in the students taking that class and also make the instructors job much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I would like to see a button or link on the page with the participants or in the chat area to monitor the students computers without having to go back to the dashboard. That would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Skillaable allows the instructors to monitor the class and teach it using the virtual labs all from one location which is a big help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillable?

First and foremost, the user interface is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. Navigating through the various labs was a breeze, thanks to the simple and well-organized GUI. Even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy, the platform makes it easy to find and launch the labs you need.

One of the standout features of Skillable is its impressive uptime. Deploying labs was quick and efficient, with minimal downtime. This is crucial when you're trying to reproduce issues or practice specific scenarios, as it allows you to focus on learning rather than waiting for the environment to be ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

For some labs deploying time is high as 20 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The quality of the labs themselves is top-notch. Each lab is meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience, covering a wide range of topics and skill levels which help me to reproduce the issue and help clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillable?

The standout feature of Skillable that I appreciate the most is its user-friendly interface, which makes the practical lab experience effortless. I extensively utilize Skillable for various courses, primarily MD-102, but also for the previous labs of MD-100 and MD-101. Furthermore, I have had multiple interactions with the customer support team, and they consistently met my expectations in terms of assistance and guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

One aspect of Skillable that I find displeasing is the occasional difficulty encountered when attempting to paste PowerShell commands into Windows 11. Additionally, the labs for Md-102 are consolidated into a single unit, meaning that if you inadvertently end a lab prematurely, you must start over and complete all the prerequisite labs again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Skillable effectively tackles the challenge of complicated lab setup and other related complexities. This brings significant benefits to users like myself, as it allows for a seamless learning experience. By simply logging in from any device, I can easily engage in practical learning activities without the hassle of intricate setup processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillable?

Skillable can scale to absurd levels in the event that you are working with large audiences.

Cloud integrations and automation make it easy to provision cloud resources, and the fact that I don't need to manage any of it is very valuable.

Skillable support is always there when I have questions about our labs.

I was able to quickly move from a PoC to production-ready labs in weeks, I couldn't have been more pleased with our launch. While there was a lot of work involved, I was pleased with how easy it was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I have suggested a few improvements related to lab instructions, all were related to enhancing the navigation between sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed labs that scale alongside our use cases and growth, Skillable does both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillable?

It's a consistent and easy to use system that learners can easily enroll to and the Skillable support is excellent! As a trainer Skillable is my one-stop-solution for getting ready to prepare new courses for myself and help my learners during a training delivery if they get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

The "completed" status of a lab takes a long time to be reflected in the overview, which leads learners to start the instance again and by that resetting the status to "incomplete". Copy & paste should be working for all images, for some I can use it natively, for others I need to use the "Type clipboard text" workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Skillable offers that one central location where everyone can do the exercises for a training course in the exact same way. It gives me as a trainer access to the lab environment of a learner in case they have a question or need help, which would otherwise be impossible without sharing with everyone in the training.

What do you like best about Skillable?

I love that delivering my training and also labs experience is no longer an issue. I can send the training key to my learners and they can redeem it instantly to do their labs. Besides, I love that I am able to help my learners to debug their issues remotely to avoid any miscommunication and misunderstanding. This saves me a lot of time and be more productive and efficient as a technical trainer! Great platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I think it should be about the VM refresh sometimes that the files in the VM would be totally deleted. Also, the speed and connection can be improved further to enhance our learners experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote debugging and also provision of labs platforms for our learners to practice what they have learnt. I really love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillable?

Being able as an instructor to do a virtual walk around the classroom, seeing where my students are at in the labs. This is a game changer in the virutal delivery of class! Being able to take over a lab like Jimmy Fallon's "Nick Burns - the Company Computer Guy" (- MOVE!) is great for steps the instructor needs to check were done properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

Sometimes when I take over a lab, the instructions window isn't exactly where the student was. That's the only feedback I can think of off hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to sit many various Microsoft courses and labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
