I mainly use O'Reilly to continue learning about different technology topics. The quality and variety of the literature, courses, and exercises are especially valuable to me. The versatility to find technical and relevant information on a topic of both personal and professional interest is also excellent. Additionally, I greatly value being able to access O'Reilly through mobile devices to continue my ongoing studies. Both the web and mobile applications of O'Reilly are very flexible and user-friendly. For example, I can read or watch a video during a free moment at work and then continue where I left off on my tablet. I have not had any problems accessing the web or using the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some PDF-style literature that is only displayed in the web application and that I cannot see in the mobile application. It would be good if this capability were added in future versions of the mobile app. I would like to be able to read fully digital books in PDF style that can only be read in the web version of O'Reilly.

I love O'Reilly for the breadth and quality of the content library. The mix of books from top tech publishers, expert-led video courses, and interactive sandboxes cater to different learning styles. The search functionality is excellent for jumping straight to relevant chapters across multiple books. The platform saves me significant time and money by providing a trustworthy resource for technical problems instead of piecing together random blog posts. The expert-led courses help me quickly ramp up on new tools with practical guidance, making O'Reilly feel like a personal technical reference desk. Setup was very easy, and there was essentially no learning curve as the interface is intuitive. I didn't need any onboarding or training and was browsing content within minutes.

A few areas could be improved. The mobile app experience can feel sluggish at times, especially when downloading content for offline reading. Search results occasionally surface older or outdated material at the top, so better filtering by publication date would help. Recommendations could also be more personalized based on the topics and learning paths I've already completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using O'Reilly to read books, and the platform has the largest collection of tech books. I appreciate its ease of use and ease of switching between different sources. You can be reading one book, and if you need to reference another or dig deeper into a topic, the content is just a few clicks away. It's also super easy to go back. I find the live content to be top quality, especially the events about software architecture and security, which have been my go-to during my time on the platform. Lately, the AI content added to the list has been like mini conferences, with recordings available on demand, helping me stay on top of tech trends and gain a solid foundation and opinions from the best people in the industry. Plus, no setup is needed—it's just an app or a web page, making it straightforward to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a new feature called “verifiable skills” or something similar. It can become a good addition to the platform, but for now it does not work well from UX and the content is a bit shallow or just sectioned strangely. The navigation in the platform section is clunky. And as I said content is not to the standard yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the vast catalog of O'Reilly, including the books accessible before publication. I really appreciate the ability to highlight and annotate the parts that interest me the most, saving them in my account, allowing me to find them and trace back to the original source quickly when I need them. This feature is extremely useful when I come across interesting passages and want to keep them organized and easily retrievable. Furthermore, setting up access to O'Reilly was very easy and fast. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search for specific 'answers' using AI still seems a bit 'weak' to me, certainly less 'intelligent' and effective than the use of other similar technologies in providing effective solutions, which is a shame given the vast amount of reliable information available.

I use O'Reilly for maintaining and updating my skills and for learning new things that I can use for work. It helps me stay abreast with the latest trends in my industry. I find it beneficial as an easy place to learn all sorts of useful things related to technology. I like their live courses the best because they provide a deadline for learning things, which keeps me engaged as opposed to the self-paced courses that are easy to forget and abandon. The setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the courses are very basic. That is great when I'm learning something new, but for other topics I want more depth. It can be hard to figure out if the level of the course is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I particularly appreciate the interactive learning paths and live online training sessions. They provide a more immersive experience than just reading or watching videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform continues to set the gold standard for technical education. I have no major complaints, as the consistent updates to the content library keep it relevant to my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even after all those years, I still find useful information and quite frequently entire books, available to me right away after I have done searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oh, it would still be nice if it were free, but that is, I guess, too much to hope for :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, it is really very good. The scope of information is broad and up to date, covering technical topics, management, and non-technical formats, along with new and emerging market information. Everything is explained very clearly, and it works well for learning—whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert. Overall, the content is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t come across any issues while going through the courses; everything looks good to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content offered covers many topics and with different levels of depth, which is great for any professional profile interested in a specific topic (beginners, professionals experts). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile app is terrible. To read books via phone or tablet is the terrible. The app doesn't show tables or figures nicely, does work properly to highlight parts of the text, I have seen issues on synchronizing highlights between devices. It's the only thing I'd change in O'Reilly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use O'Reilly mostly to learn from tech books, and I love that I can access tons of relevant books on the go. It integrates great with my company, which means I get the benefit through my workplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to get more interactive content. For instance, if I'm learning Kernel Development using the Linux Kernel Programming Book by Kaiwan Billimoria, I would like to be notified about conferences or live presentations held by the author or other potential authors related to the topic, like Linus Torvalds or Greg Kroah.
