ITProTV has media for tons of different certifications and topics. Whether you're studying for project management or a specific technology, odds are good that they've got you covered. The corporate premium accounts are affordable enough for me to train my entire team and still have funds left over to help them with their certification costs, that's a huge win for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My primary complaint is just in how licensing is handled for corporate premium accounts. I'd prefer to be able to add seats directly from the portal without having to go through a sales rep, but sadly that option isn't available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the labs that are included in addition to the video courses. I also like the podcast feature for videos. I've downloaded the app and used it a few times when driving. I also like the options for courses. Having an accelerated and a full course is very helpful. I've been following along with the accelerated course and using the full course as supplemental material for content I'm not as strogn with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I might not like the host of the show, but that usually is never a problem. They also provide transcripts if you want to skip the audio.
My only complaint about the podcast feature in the app is the audio is much quieter and doesn't pause when another service like a GPS speaks. Hard to follow along or use this feature when you need to use that separate service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The edutainers are very knowledgable of their subjects, well-spoken, and you get the sense that they enjoy what they do, which rubs off on the viewer. Additionally, while the "bite-sized chunk' format of 15 - 30 minute episodes is pretty standard faire now in the industry, the ITPro.TV staff make it work well here too. Finally, having the practice tests and the virtual labs to practice on and gain confidence before sitting for the actual exam does wonders for building confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the co-hosts that aren't actually teaching come off as just being there to throw scripted snowball questions at the technical edutainer and to simply advertise for the platform (looking at you Zach). Other than that, the practice tests sometimes don't line up well with the answer key at the end, either stating you marked something wrong when the answer clearly showed it was right, or else the answer doesn't line up with the question at all. But those are few and far between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Videos are well done and well organized. Library is huge! I'm very impressed with how many courses they have. I also really enjoy the study materials - practice tests, flashcards, virtual labs, they really do set you up for success!
I'm also impressed with their transparency. They let you know what courses they have in production and also have live webinars on a frequent basis. They keep you up to date by staying up to date themselves - which is a requirement for success in IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Apple TV App doesn't sync my watched videos (or doesn't mark them). The "Continue Watching" feature often has recommendations for old videos or videos that I have watched already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been a member since thier first year and have lost track of how much content I've consumed.
ITPro TV has some of my favorite presenters and the content is rock solid.
I have access to all of their labs and practice tests.
These tools have been invaluable over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the presenters don't have the stage presence or focus and I find it distracting at times.
They have the technical knowledge but could use some polish as instructors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I seem to have a very low concentration threshold, so the interaction between presenters certainly keeps me interested, compared to other learning material I find IT Pro TV works the best for me.
Also the presenter mix work's well where a none specialist presenter asks the question that seems to be on the tip of your tongue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Virtual machines and trial software being readily available now a days and If following through the demo's at home, it would be nice at the beginning of each course to maybe list what will be required i.e Machines spec's, Names, IP Address etc.
I find doing the task's and following along helps my learning path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Variety of courses, and the ease of use make it friendly. The ability to use it anywhere on a variety of platforms, such as computer, phone or tablet.
I can set courses for my team and then watch how they do over a set period of time, which is very useful for setting for their KPI’s and yearly personal development programs.
The courses are renewed on a fairly regular basis and seem to stay current, for example when the new version of ITIL came along it was not much longer for ITProTV to bring an updated course into there catalog.
The customer and corporate support for this application is very good, the pre-sales team especially has been helpful to us with help provided for producing a presentation for the organization to introduce ITProTV to the and to sell the use to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Searching can be problematic sometimes to find exactly what you require.
Literally you can be swamped by all the courses and sometimes a more guided approach from the app would be appreciated, maybe having this more by job roles or functions.
It would be nice if there was a social aspect to the vide viewing where the users in a corporate could rate and promote courses for there colleagues to go through and view.
I found the administration tool does not have as much flexibility as should be possible, to track usage for a corporate account and see who is using the tool actively and not engaging with the tool. In order to do more in-depth analysis you have to down load and then examine the data using MS Access or Excel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the things I like about ITProTV is that they do not overload you with information. Each topic is broken down into smaller sections so it is easy to follow along and not get overwhelmed. Their library is #1 in terms of topics from IOT, to mobile devices, and even Project Management. Most other learning companies only offer technical learning like CompTIA or Cisco, whereas ITProTV offers ITIL, PMP, Six-Sigma, and a number of other non-technical certification courses. Even if you are not in a technical role and are looking to expand your skill set there are plenty of courses to utilize in ITProTV.The two person format also helps by breaking up the monotony of listening to one person talk for the entire course and offers a more realistic learning experience. The second person acts as an avatar for the learning, speaking for them when asking questions or clearing up a confusing point. Most other virtual learning experiences just has one person talk directly to the user for the entire length of the course and offers no way of clearing up confusing points or expanding on something that might not have been explained in enough detail.

While the virtual Labs are great for software based learning they do not have any sort of virtual hardware labs so trying to learn about internal components can be a hassle. For someone who needs to learn more about wiring a switch into a network closet or seeks to understand more of how a computer is built the lack of virtual hardware to build and manipulate can be a determent.

ITProTV has been an excellent training service for our employees. We highly encourage ongoing education, and for our employees to stay up to date on the latest technical certifications and development, and ITProTV provides an up-to-date catalogue for us to accomplish this. The presenters are detailed and make the material easy to understand. Their portal is also excellent for management of licenses and to report on which employees are utilizing the training! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly there isn't much I dislike. If I had to pick one thing I would say that they could invest in even more "hands on" labs to practice the skills they teach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The virtual labs and practice tests are a great hands-on solution and a different approach to just memorizing terminology. Not only are you able to access high quality videos that are structured around the exact concepts you would find in the certification exam, but you won't find similar training outside of taking university courses on the same subjects. Compared to the costs of tuition, ITProTV offers a highly affordable option for certification and industry training that gives anyone the opportunity to enter the field of their choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Practice tests cannot be paused and resumed later, you must set aside time to complete the test fully. This is especially deterring when you take your first tests as you may require more time to complete them, and prematurely ending the test affects your average score. The average score is otherwise encouraging to show progress you've made towards acing the test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use ITProTv for my IT High School students, and I like that I can create Teams and assign lessons for each team to review. I can track their progress using the Pro Portal. Simple and Easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of any reason not to like this product, the trainers are down to earth people with personalities that make it fun to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You are able to jump around, if you need a certain subject within a video you can fast-forward, pause, rewind, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no hands-on interaction, which can make or break a learning experience for some things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The diversity of classes offered and online certification classes. I like the thoroughness of the trainers when they are presenting. Some of the classes that I have taken have been valuable in helping me solve issues at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes we need to clarify or define terms being used. If they move a little too fast during the presentation , I need to stop and review the material again. If they repeated key factors, for example anything that would be on an exam, I could probably get through the material a little quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is more than one way to learn: Lecture, flashcards/practice exams, hands-on practice modules. Though flashcards and practice modules are not always available for every topic.
The practice modules were particularly helpful to put theory into practice, which really helps me retain what I learn.
The short lecture style videos make it easy to squeeze in a little bit of studying here and there. I really liked that you could download them (even just the audio if you preferred or needed to) so you didn't have to use slower and more expensive cellular data plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were a way to better integrate the practice and questioning with the lecture so that they complement each other along the way.
While they make an effort to be entertaining, I found that sometimes the presenter would overdo it or miss the mark and instead the "humor" was annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ITProTV is a one-stop shop for IT training. They have video training on the newest technologies, certifications and frameworks. Their trainer are highly knowledgeable and it shows. Mr. Wong is the best Cisco trainer alive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that it does not offer much documentation or books but that's okay. You can always get a membership for Apress books, Packt or others. However, ITProTV does include practice exams and labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Solid course library with material that is relevant to the exam domain. Course material covers everything from a high level overview to down in the technical details with some of the topics. It is also extremely useful to be able to get the course completion certificates to validate with the various certificate organizations I have to maintain that I am completing my CEU's for that renewal cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The mobile app will randomly log me out. That is more of an inconvenience than an issue though. Also, the mobile app does not always register that I watched a video properly, so it is sometimes necessary for me to go check the box that I viewed the video through the web browser to be presented with the course certificate at the end of the series. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The presentation of the content as well as the timestamps for each section of content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the videos can have a bit more talking in them than I would like. I'm a fan of videos getting down to business, quickly. However, the timestamps help with this, of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the premium labs most what’s better than hands on learning for IT. Practice tests are also nice. Edutainers are amazing and want to help. Can watch videos as they are being developed and talk to the edutainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cant think of any really. If i had to try to say one improvement it might have to be to add a option to clear progress of already completed videos. but i can live without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy the interactive nature of the live presentations. ITProTV Edutainers answer all my questions either during the live broadcast or follow up after if the answer needs some research.
I frequently watch sessions that line up with my work. It is great to have access to someone teaching what I am working on.
New content is constantly added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If I had to add something it is the experience on Roku. Harder to search for specific content and cannot control speed on the Roku. I like to listen to the content at faster speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is by far better than all the competitors we trialed. The content is updated on almost a daily basis. There are weekly feature updates. Overall very clean and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of anything. All the downsides of the competitors we trialed were met by ITProTV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
