DN Durga Prasad N. Software Manager Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/20/2026 "LinkedIn Premium Made Profile Visits More Meaningful" 4/5 What do you like best about LinkedIn Premium? In LinkedIn Premium what I like best is that it provides more context around profile activity instead of leaving me guessing. I regularly use Who Viewed Your Profile, profile insights, InMail, and search filters. Sometimes I find it interesting to see which industries or roles are interacting with my profile because it gives me a better understanding of who is paying attention. One unexpected benefit is that profile visits often lead me to discover interesting people and communities that I would not have come across otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LinkedIn Premium? Some features are extremely useful, but the subscription price can feel expensive if they are not used regularly. I also think certain insights could be presented in a simpler way because new users may not immediately understand the value of every Premium feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LinkedIn Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? Before using LinkedIn Premium, profile activity felt like a mystery because I had very little information about who was viewing my profile. With Premium, profile insights, search filters, and InMail provide much more context and make interactions feel less random. This has reduced a lot of guesswork and made it easier to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like LinkedIn Premium because it provides more context than a regular profile view. I regularly use profile insights, InMail, search filters, and Who Viewed Your Profile. Having access to additional information makes it easier to understand people's backgrounds, interests, and connections before starting a conversation. One unexpected benefit is that profile insights often help me discover common interests or mutual connections that I would have otherwise missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LinkedIn Premium? I think Some Premium features are extremely useful, but the subscription cost can feel high for people who do not use them every day. I also think certain insights could be presented more clearly, especially when reviewing profile activity. More flexibility in Premium plans would make the service even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LinkedIn Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? Earlier, I often had limited visibility into profiles and relied mostly on publicly available information. Now with LinkedIn Premium I can use advanced search filters, profile insights, and InMail to better understand people and make interactions more meaningful. This has reduced the amount of guesswork involved and helped me communicate with more confidence. One unexpected benefit is that I have discovered interesting professionals and communities that I probably would not have found otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinkedIn Premium has greatly improved my networking and job search experience. The InMail feature allows me to contact professionals outside my immediate network, which has led to opportunities I might not have found otherwise. I also value the expanded profile insights-being able to see who has viewed my profile and access detailed applicant information helps me better tailor my outreach and job applications. The learning courses are an excellent addition as well, enabling me to develop new skills directly on the platform. All in all, it’s a valuable resource for building strong professional connections and advancing my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LinkedIn Premium? The primary drawback of LinkedIn Premium is its price, which may seem steep, particularly for individual users or job seekers with limited budgets. The value you get from the subscription often depends on how frequently you make use of its features-InMail credits and insights might go unused if you’re not regularly networking or searching for jobs. Furthermore, some of the insights and recommendations can appear limited or repetitive, and not every feature offers a clear benefit over the free version for all users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LinkedIn Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? LinkedIn Premium addresses the issue of limited visibility and restricted communication that comes with the free version. With Premium, I’m able to send direct messages to professionals outside my network through InMail, which has made it much easier for me to connect with recruiters, industry leaders, and potential collaborators. The service also gives me more detailed insights into who has viewed my profile and how I stack up against other applicants, which has been useful for refining my job search strategy and making my outreach more effective. Additionally, the LinkedIn Learning courses are a great advantage, as they allow me to pursue professional development on demand without needing to use other platforms. Overall, LinkedIn Premium has helped me make my networking efforts more proactive, strategic, and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
