What do you like best about TryHackMe?

The best part about TryHackMe is the beginner friendly UI/UX. Anyone who is starting out in cybersecurity will not feel overwhelmed by this gamified platform. It also is kept updated with latest attack vectors and CVEs. Another plus point for newbies is that TryHackMe removes the need for a beefy PC to practice labs. Have been a user for long and don't think I'll move out of it anytime soon. Also, it is fairly inexpensive for the value it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TryHackMe?

Any downside i try to think of feels like nitpicking. I've sometimes faced a bit of trouble with the in-browser labs but it didn't last for long and everything worked fine on the second attempt. Another tiny issue i faced was the lack of rooms for niche topics like k8s security but they've now been added iirc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

People working on TryHackMe tend to have their basics right. So, they can be granted a certain amount of autonomy at work which translates into less hand holding from seniors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TryHackMe?

Easy and simple to use UI. Beginner friendly. Guided exercises along with hints which tests our knowledge of each topic. I really like the streaks program which motivated me to upskill and learn something new which is why I use it everyday. It has good balance of both practical labs along with theoretical topics which complement each other. It also has a good mix of challenging and intermediate level labs based on difficulty for the experienced professionals who are somewhat familiar with the topics. Very easy to setup and get going with labs. Being a business user the amount of pro level content is quite nice and good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TryHackMe?

The quantity of practical labs is still very less than that of competitor platforms. Sometimes I've observed issue while accessing VPN for accessing the labs. Cloud security related content is limited to AWS only. Would have been nice to have Azure and GCP as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helped me in upskilling my offensive and defensive cyber security knowledge. Its easy and simple to understand language really helped me understand concepts clearly which directly helped me in the interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TryHackMe?

What impresses me the most about TryHackMe is the interactiveness with which it teaches cybersecurity. The range of interactive labs and challenges, from beginner to expert in difficulty, really makes a few pretty hard-core concepts both understandable and fun. The clear tutorials and supportive community guide users on structuring and effectively building practical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TryHackMe?

A drawback of TryHackMe is that it might not delve into quite advanced topics as much, and users may have to search for more technical information somewhere else. Furthermore, while there is a free version, access to all the labs and features requires a paid subscription, which would create a barrier for some learners. Sometimes, there will be technical issues or errors in some rooms that may hinder the learning process. Additionally, all this content can sometimes become too much for a newcomer without definite starting points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

TryHackMe helps deal with the problem of not enough practical cybersecurity training. It offers interactive labs and real-world situations which make it easy to understand for anyone, regardless of skills. In this hands-on approach, it becomes interesting and effective enough for users to use what they learn about in a safe space. Which means I could continuously improve my skills, learn new security practice, and eventually have more confidence when facing real cyber problems. In addition, the helpful community and clear learning paths give me good guides, making the learning experience highly organized and fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Im a non IT person who transitioned to cyber security. And THM played a significant role in achieving this. It has modules for everyone from a noob to intermediate.
