"Instruqt provides a great comprehensive, interactive learning experience"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

The thing I like best about Instruqt is that the platform allows me to write instructional material for very complex technologies in a way this enjoyable and useful for the reader. The fact that I can use many types of media – text, video and audio – in a structured manner is a compelling feature of Instruqt.

The product is highly configurable, works well and looks good. Providing a reliable, attractive interactive learning experience is important, particularly when teaching complex technologies.

I am a big fan Instuqt. The product is great as are the company's staff and support. Instruqt really cares about the work I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

There is no downside. However, getting the full benefit from Instruqt requires accommodating a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great interactive self-paced learning solution!"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt enables any level of learner to catch up with new technologies with a hands-on experience. It provides not only comprehensive guides but also allows developers to change code via an editor and web browser. These features make developers understand and learn how to implement the applications along with the tracks quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

When we add the track to our own webpage as an embedded page (e.g. iframe), there're a few limitations. For example, there's no way to go back to the previous topic directly as well as no restarting the track. It probably not about an issue directly to the Instruqt but it would be great for Instruqt to improve this in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So much more than a lab platform"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Instruqt is a fantastic platform that offers the flexibility you need for any task at hand. Be that an online guided lab, or doing a tech demo at an event. The fact that you can spin up a pre-configured lab at the press of a button puts your time and attention back where it belongs - doing the teaching/demo, and not fiddling with the tech before or during the session itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

No downsides as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that could be better, in this day of instant gratification, is the load times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Instruqt is a great platform for interactive labs and has an amazing support"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

* Cloud accounts vending machine

* Stability and performance - used it for hundreds of concurrent workshop attendees without any issue

* Customization features

* Outstanding support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Nothing major, Instruqt is a great product overall. The CLI could be improved by being more stable when streaming attendees' logs and not enforcing auto-updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging, fully featured virtual labs"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Hands-on labs are one of the best formats for self-paced learning and keeping the attention of your audience. Instruqt provide a comprehensive, easy to use solution for this using cloud infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

Nothing really. Minor nitpick is that API functionality could be more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Platform for Technical Training, Demos, and Sandbox Environments"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

As a technical content developer and trainer, I love Instruqt because it makes my life easy. The last thing I want to worry about when conducting a workshop is whether students can get their lab environments set up correctly.

Any time you have students trying to do work from their laptops, you are guaranteed to have some people who get stuck. Your instructors and technical staff end up wasting valuable time fixing setup issues instead of focusing on content.

Instruqt takes away all the pain and hassle of building workstations and training labs for students, so you can focus on teaching and selling your solutions. Everything runs in a standard web browser, so you never have to worry about firewall restrictions, incompatible devices, or security software that prevents your software from running.

Perhaps the best part about Instruqt is the automatic cleanup and maintenance. When we do a training lab, every student can have an entire cloud account to themselves. Once the training is complete, the cleanup process is automatic. We don't have to worry about machines left running or leaving vulnerable, unpatched systems running.

If you need a technical platform for training, demos, or sandbox environments, go with Instruqt. You won't regret it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

This is a challenging question to answer because Instruqt is such a great organization to work with. The platform really does everything I need as a content developer and instructor. New features are introduced based upon our feedback, and Instruqt is working to improve reporting and integration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Custom containers, smooth integration with developer tools -- IDE, command line, and custom tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

"Solo.io loves Instruqt for authoring and delivering complex IT workshops"
What do you like best about Instruqt?

Compared to other solutions I've used in the past, Instruqt is eminently reliable. I can spin up a session with hundreds of users and zero worries about the infrastructure not behaving as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instruqt?

My finance department might say the cost. But compared to the cost of an engineer's time in debugging the provisioning of large environments for many users, Instruqt delivers great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
