What do you like best about Skillable?

Easy to navigate ex: finding my assigned classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

Sometimes, the lab response is not the best. This is rare but it does happen. But, to their credit, Skillable gets right on lab issue resolution and keeps me informed as to the status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lab Manuals Need Urgent Updating"
What do you like best about Skillable?

nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I have significant issues with Skillable, primarily with its lab instructions not matching the lab environment, which is very frustrating. This mismatch forces me to exit the training to figure out how to proceed, disrupting my learning process. It's clear the lab manuals need updating to ensure they reflect the actual lab setup correctly. Without these updates, the learning experience is compromised, leading to inefficient use of time and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Davis of Skillable

Hi Victor, I'm sorry to hear about your experience! Would you be willing to email me at jenny.davis@skillable.com so I can see which of our customers' labs you're using? With that info, we'd be able to help them improve the instruction set and provide a better lab experience. Thank you!

"Hands-On Learning Done Right – A Game-Changer for Skills Development"
What do you like best about Skillable?

I've had the opportunity to use Skillable for lab-based training sessions led by trainers, and I have to say—it’s one of the most effective learning platforms I've worked with.

What makes Skillable stand out is the real-time, hands-on experience it provides. Unlike passive video-based courses, every session includes interactive labs where participants can actively engage with the material. Trainers can guide, correct, and support learners live, which boosts confidence and understanding on the spot.

The platform is intuitive and reliable, with minimal setup time and a clean interface. Labs are fast to launch and mirror real-world environments well, allowing learners to truly practice what they’re learning—whether it’s coding, cloud, cybersecurity, or data skills.

Our trainers also appreciate the ability to track progress and performance, making it easier to tailor follow-ups and coaching. Learners consistently report feeling more prepared and capable after completing a Skillable lab compared to traditional formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

In some cases, especially with more complex environments (like multi-VM or cloud-heavy labs), labs can take a few minutes to load. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, it can disrupt pacing if not planned for.

The core platform is functional, but the user interface isn't always as modern or polished as newer tools. Some menus feel slightly dated or require extra clicks to find key info

Since Skillable labs are hands-on and often involve terminal or IDE access, the mobile experience isn’t fully optimized. A laptop or desktop is usually necessary for effective use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Skillable is an excellent tool"
What do you like best about Skillable?

Skillable is an amazing platform that offers an interactive and hands-on learning experience. What I like best about Skillable is its ability to provide realistic learning environments where users can apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios. This not only enhances knowledge retention but also prepares users to confidently tackle professional challenges. Additionally, the platform is intuitive and user-friendly, making learning accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

While Skillable is a fantastic platform, one subtle area for improvement could be the occasional complexity in navigating some of the more advanced features. Simplifying these aspects could enhance the overall user experience even further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful hands-on lab platform with a few growing pains"
What do you like best about Skillable?

Based on my own experience and what I've read from other users, their support team is both responsive and helpful. Whenever I ran into issues or had questions while designing labs, they replied promptly and provided assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

If you intend to create complex scenarios or highly customized labs, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. Certain aspects, such as handling edge-case paths or setting up advanced configurations, may require some trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Critical Lab Tool with Room for Content Updates"
What do you like best about Skillable?

I find the labs provided by Skillable to be particularly useful as they offer real practical experience. This practical approach significantly contributes to my professional growth by enhancing my learning and practical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I am concerned about the outdated content in Skillable. Despite Microsoft updating their portal, Skillable's content still reflects older information, particularly for administrative and Entra-related labs. This makes the learning experience less relevant and effective, as it does not align with the current standards and practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Labs experience for Microsof Courses"
What do you like best about Skillable?

I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer and I have been working for 25 years on products like SQL Server and more recently with Power BI.

I have often used Skillable Labs for my students. They offer a very good lab environment for Microsoft Courses.

They are implemeted as Virtual Machines in which students can apply their skills on practice labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

Zooming in the Virtual Machine window is not always the best, you often need to set it to Full Screen...Also, loading times of the machines is not always the best experience and you have to wait a couple of minutes for the mahine to start... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
