"Best learning platform from security analyst perspective."

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

These distance courses, in my opinion, are comparable to high-quality face-to-face classes. With experience in the IT field, I have filled in the gaps on several switching issues in computer networks and now I will be able to explain many processes to my colleagues. Most of all I liked the relevance and usefulness of the information, which, unlike most of the existing training materials, can be used in real work. And of course, the biggest advantage is up-to-date courses and information, zero-day vulnerability courses are published just after a few days after zero vulnerability was found!

I recommend ImmersiveLabs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

Sometimes the courses are very competitive (quite hard) and a small hint would be useful. But I have seen that team is already working on that.

I wouldn't write the negative comment if it was not required :) I recommend ImmersiveLabs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Immersive Labs: One of the best interactive learning platforms

All the content present is helpful starting from freshers to the experienced ones in Cyber security

The labs are quite interactive, help you to navigate through the tools and also learn more about using the tool efficiently

Cyber Security related courses such as Threat Hunting, Malware Analysis is something amazing and give you an insight starting from basics to experienced level

Add on: Based on the market trend, new concepts and new attacks related to Cyber Security are updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

Whenever we are stuck in the lab, if there can be hints to proceed further with the concepts :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best way to learn a technology is to go fully hands on approach and Immersive Labs is the best!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

The upsides of using Immersive Labs is the gamification of education. Every new technology is present in the lab environment and rewarding points for solving each small task help us to learn the environment better and with the point system, it pushes us to a friendly competition with the team members of our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

The thing I dislike is the text-based multiple-choice question where the background is the same and this part feels a bit lacking in its immersiveness. I would like to suggest them to tweak that section a bit like the labs part and make it more interesting rather than plain old boring MCQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

Be patient and slowly you'll get a grasp of the interface of Immersive Labs and you'll surely enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being an intern at an organization, I have no clue about the technologies used in the working environment. Immersive labs with its interactive labs makes the task of learning new technologies very interesting compared to reading the documentation or seeing a bunch of videos about that technology. I feel that I have learned a lot about Splunk through the labs than the videos on youtube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quality hands on cyber security training"

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

I love how practical it is. For me, watching powerpoint slides and grinding out courses can get quite boring and I can switch off easily. The best thing about Immersive Labs is that it is hands-on and gives you the chance to learn and then do, personally I think that is the best way to learn. It gets you using the command line, typing commands and solving problems and gives you experience with a wide range of tools and subjects. Another thing I like is the challenge and the competitiveness. With the points and the leaderboard it motivates you to do more, to move up the leaderboard and learn things you might have never considered. This is what happened with me and now I am at the top of the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

To be honest there is nothing I dislike about the labs. Sometimes it can get frustrating when you have the answer but it needs to be in a particular format to pass, but that's all part of the challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

Remember this is a challenge and you will get stuck on a lot of labs as did I. When this happens it is best to leave it to one side, study more about the subject and come back to it. Also, make sure you are reading the info panel, learning and understanding the content. It can be easy to guess or brute force some answers when stuck. But the main thing is that you are learning and improving. My final advice is to keep it up and be consistent with it !. Doing at least 1 lab a day can really make a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

From participating in labs my problem-solving skills have improved a lot. The more labs you do the more experience you get, which in turn helps a lot when it comes to any obstacles. When you have that experience you can say, oh I have seen this before so I know what to do, or I wonder what will happen if I try this... From doings labs I have learned how to hack, how to analyse malware, how to use various tools and much more. So it is safe to say there have been many benefits.

"Real-World Challenge-Filled Training"

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

I like that Immersive Labs does not spoonfeed you with information but it lets you discover things with guidance. Each person has their own way to study and this platform lets you unleash that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

I think the platform can use more in-platform walk-throughs of those labs that have been finished so that we can learn the approach of other experts in the industry and how they appreciate this platform as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

Ensure to make your members understand that this is not the typical learning platform. This will challenge them to learn and not just be "dictated" without interaction. You may use the element of competition to gain appreciation for the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

If there would be a dead-end, I would want some sort of clue or finger point to the right direction. There are labs that I would have wanted to learn but if you have no prior experience or knowledge about a skill or platform, you would really be stuck. It's a con that's challenging but not really negative in my view. But if the goal is for the consumer to learn, there must be room to possibly "earn" clues?

It unlocks skills as it is a very experiential platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You don´t need to install any other software but sometimes you have issues with the labs because it does not load properly the labs, and also I like the content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual machines are slow and you can not install the lab on your own machine like other cybersecurity learning platforms whereas you can download the VPN In order to deploy on your own machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

Have an external monitor to have a better user experience also have a good internet connection, read carefully the instructions, and don't just stay with the basics if you want to progress in your career long-term goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The practice labs and the challenges that present in every category, for instance, if you wanna learn about reversing or some interesting topic about cybersec, immersive have this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

Some labs are slow for instance the windows labs, in some occasions, the labs present some bugs in the part of the paste, some labs don't content info to resolve the lab Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

Immersivelabs is a great platform to understand topics about cybersecurity, it is very important not depend on the info section when you try to resolve any lab, you'll need to investigate other sites to complement your knowledge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bite sized hands-on exposure"

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

The convenience of on-demand labs that provide hands-on exposure to tools and concepts, coupled with the ability to stop and recommence a lab later. A far superior offering to the competitions one-way, video-only 'training'. Having on-demand virtual labs avoids having to build one's own lab environment, and the ability to exit a lab, and resume later with the current state of progress is, well, its akin to "load saved game"! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

It is not instructor-led, and one is left to 'fend for oneself'; essentially, one relies on "google-fu". For the Java labs, if one has no prior experience, this can lead to training for the answer rather than training for the language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I innitially started using ImmersiveLabs taking advantage of the TechVets program. When the Army Reserve started to build its cyber-capability under Project Pedlar, I took signed up for the project to gain more hands-on experience with some of the tools, and gain awareness of concepts in new areas such as risk management, ITSM, and exposure to new tools.

"Best online training"

5/5

What do you like best about Immersive?

The gamified platform makes it fun to keep coming back and revisiting it.

Not only do I think the platform is amazing for training purposes... Because of the training I have done on ImmersiveLabs, I have landed a job as a Cybersecurity Analsyt, on more money than graduates with degrees in the subject, at the same company,

I can't state how much I rate the training that I have received through IML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Immersive?

There could be more hints. But even the lack of hints means that you have to go out and find answers. The research you do means you may learn stuff you wouldn't have found if you hadn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Immersive:

I have and do recommend it ALL the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem I had was that I didn't have a job. Since starting on Immersive Labs I am now a Senior Cyber Security Analyst studying for professional qualifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
