"From Idea to Production in 10 Days - A Game-Changer for Guided Experiences"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt is absolutely amazing! With the platform, we were able to go from an idea to production in less than 10 business days. Before Instruqt, we had been experimenting with other technologies that met some of our technical needs but failed to meet the needs of our prospects and customers. While Instruqt is not perfect, it's one of the easiest platforms to launch a guided experience on, bar none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Currently, the integrations with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot are super early and have plenty of room for improvement. While the data is valid, its format can be improved to enable reporting. In addition, the security around onboarding prospects into a lab can significantly improve. Today, if you want to ensure prospects fill out a custom form in HubSpot, you have to build much of the surrounding tech to prevent it from being bypassed. While the built-in forms are okay, they're not customizable and do not support workflow-driven flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Lauer of Instruqt

Thank you for your feedback! We'd love to better understand your usage and challenges with the CRM integrations. Please feel free to reach out to me and we can set up time to chat (sean@instruqt.com). Thanks!

"Powerful Teaching tool"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

This is a powerful tool for creating hands-on tutorials for customers. You can build straightforward use cases, combining text, video, and images to create comprehensive instructions. Even have some scripts to check if the user is running everything correctly.

This allows customers to independently follow the steps and learn through practical application. Because you can easily build any type of project, it's a great fit for almost any tech company. Our customers use this tool daily, finding it highly effective for workshops and internal training sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

The learning curve can be a bit steep initially, so having a dedicated administration team for guidance is important at the start. However, once the team is trained, or you invest some time to learn, the platform is straightforward to use and worth the time invested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scaling learning through hands-on labs"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Setting up hands-on labs, that allow our customers to really learn to use our products, without having to sit through hours of video presentations.

Having been one of the first (if not the first) customers of Instruqt, we are still using it to this day, and are very satisfied.

Features are being added steadily, and are making the experience even better.

Some features that have been implemented had been on my list of requested features for a while, and I am happy they are now there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Some things could be better/easier, but the product itself is very solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the update, Ben!

"Great product, but expensive with poor support."
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt provides a powerful and platform for creating real, hands-on, sandboxed labs. You can run containers, full VMs (including shell terminals), and cloud accounts. You can create sophisticated instructions rendered from Markdown. All of this is wrapped in a single browser window with an intuitive interface. Instruqt is developer friendly, providing webhooks for learner activity, a graphql API, and a CLI client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Instruqt's documentation is fair and their customer support is bad. If you want help automating your lab development workflow or developing sophisticated learning experiences on their platform, you will quickly exhaust their frontline support capabilities. Their agents don't understand their product well but they will confidently provide incorrect information to you anyway. For issues they don't understand, they will require thorough documentation from you before engaging their engineering team, if you're lucky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Lauer of Instruqt

Appreciate the honest feedback. We take our performance as a partner to our customers very seriously. Your constructive feedback has been passed along to the team. I'd welcome the opportunity to talk further about your experience should you feel comfortable reaching out directly via our Slack community.

"Instruqt has completely revolutionized how we're able to provide workshops."
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt has provided us with the perfect platform for our prospects, customers, and partners to get "hands-on" workshop experiences with our products. We can build guided experiences to demo new features for in-person and virtual workshops, which was previously much harder to accomplish. As a result, we've seen massive spikes in trial sign-ups for our product and have been able to provide a much simpler, catered experience to attendees. Both our Marketing and Sales Engineering teams are thrilled with what we get out of using Instruqt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

At least in my experience, which is not on the technical side, I've seen nothing to dislike yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Appreciate the feedback, David!

"Great platform for providing on demand or live trainings"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt makes it super easy to create lab exercises for either on demand training or live trainings. The users can setup challenges that the participants need to complete. You can write scripts to check the participants work as well as complete it for them if they get stuck. Instruqt's customer support has been great when we have had questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Like any product, it takes a little while to learn your way around the UI and set up your first training. Once you get the hang of it, all the features you need are there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Lauer of Instruqt

Thanks for the review, Justin!

"One of the best tools for creating labs, sandboxes, and learning environments."
What do you like best about Instruqt?

I have worked in the educational technology space for over a decade, and Instruqt is the best tool I've found for creating customized labs which not only present verisimilitude, but the ability the actually complete real-world tasks. There is no better way to learn, and Instruqt provides a fantastic platform which makes creating labs and sandboxes for users to learn in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

I can't think of much I would improve. Perhaps provide easier to implement features - the ability to connect to third party/cloud infrastructure using a GUI and sliding blocks with stored secrets, rather than having to write out everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Instruqt is an outstanding platform in terms of customer experience"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

I've been using Instruqt for a few months now and one of the most helpful things is the capability of cloning block of different labs already created and reuse it to create new one projects. The customer experience while present some Workshops it's for sure an upside, I getting really good feedbacks from my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

I'd point out here that working with scripts to automate things inside of Instruqt may be a quite challenging sometimes. But a big friction point we you have some samples to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Lauer of Instruqt

Thank you, Victor! Your feedback has been shared with the team.

"An awesome platform to deliver high quality trainings"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

It make life easier for a trainer to deliver training , and participants just loves it ! No time wasted on local setup and configuration, they can jump right into practices from the beginning.

The support team is also very reactive, you will always get someone who assist you to solve any technical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

The most challenging part is to build and maintain the labs scenarios, it would be helpful to have more common use cases or sandboxes to use directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Lauer of Instruqt

Thanks, Abdessamad! Your feedback has been shared with the team.

We had issues with scaling, and attendee surges. Tracks weren't adapting properly to new logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
