**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Skillable?**

Nothing. This system is straight trash. I do not recommend anyone give this program the time of day.

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

The program is full of bugs. No lab will let you complete the assignment. At some point, you need a user password that is not provided, and the Resources tab provides no resources, only a Reconnect CentOS button. When the button is clicked, it sets your lab CLI blank and crashes the lab. I have tried several labs, only one worked, and that was the simple intro.

**What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skillable is solving nothing, if the labs worked they would be good and useful. Unfortunatly in my experience almost no lab can be completed.

  ### 43. Used for MD-102

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ali Mahdi J. | Head of IT, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Skillable?**

The standout feature of Skillable that I appreciate the most is its user-friendly interface, which makes the practical lab experience effortless. I extensively utilize Skillable for various courses, primarily MD-102, but also for the previous labs of MD-100 and MD-101. Furthermore, I have had multiple interactions with the customer support team, and they consistently met my expectations in terms of assistance and guidance.

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

One aspect of Skillable that I find displeasing is the occasional difficulty encountered when attempting to paste PowerShell commands into Windows 11. Additionally, the labs for Md-102 are consolidated into a single unit, meaning that if you inadvertently end a lab prematurely, you must start over and complete all the prerequisite labs again.

**What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skillable effectively tackles the challenge of complicated lab setup and other related complexities. This brings significant benefits to users like myself, as it allows for a seamless learning experience. By simply logging in from any device, I can easily engage in practical learning activities without the hassle of intricate setup processes.

Skillable can scale to absurd levels in the event that you are working with large audiences.
Cloud integrations and automation make it easy to provision cloud resources, and the fact that I don't need to manage any of it is very valuable.
Skillable support is always there when I have questions about our labs.
I was able to quickly move from a PoC to production-ready labs in weeks, I couldn't have been more pleased with our launch. While there was a lot of work involved, I was pleased with how easy it was.

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

I have suggested a few improvements related to lab instructions, all were related to enhancing the navigation between sections.

**What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed labs that scale alongside our use cases and growth, Skillable does both.

  ### 48. Skillable is my daily partner in delivering trainings to an international audience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2024

**What do you like best about Skillable?**

It's a consistent and easy to use system that learners can easily enroll to and the Skillable support is excellent! As a trainer Skillable is my one-stop-solution for getting ready to prepare new courses for myself and help my learners during a training delivery if they get stuck.

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

The "completed" status of a lab takes a long time to be reflected in the overview, which leads learners to start the instance again and by that resetting the status to "incomplete". Copy & paste should be working for all images, for some I can use it natively, for others I need to use the "Type clipboard text" workaround.

**What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skillable offers that one central location where everyone can do the exercises for a training course in the exact same way. It gives me as a trainer access to the lab environment of a learner in case they have a question or need help, which would otherwise be impossible without sharing with everyone in the training.

  ### 49. Lab environments very similar to real life

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

Replication of real life situations like setting up a vpc and storage.

  ### 50. Skillable - A great platform for my remote trainings!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** 👨‍🏫Vincent K. | Microsoft Technical Trainer | Cloud Advocate | Business Program Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Skillable?**

I love that delivering my training and also labs experience is no longer an issue. I can send the training key to my learners and they can redeem it instantly to do their labs. Besides, I love that I am able to help my learners to debug their issues remotely to avoid any miscommunication and misunderstanding. This saves me a lot of time and be more productive and efficient as a technical trainer! Great platform!

**What do you dislike about Skillable?**

I think it should be about the VM refresh sometimes that the files in the VM would be totally deleted. Also, the speed and connection  can be improved further to enhance our learners experience.

**What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Remote debugging and also provision of labs platforms for our learners to practice what they have learnt. I really love it!
