"Review for Skillable"
5/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

The most helpful aspect is the ability to simulate real environments safely. It gives learners the confidence to experiment and make mistakes without consequences. Plus, the variety of labs available means there’s something for every skill level, which makes it a great tool for continuous learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

While Skillable is a powerful platform, sometimes the lab instructions can be a bit too rigid, leaving little room for exploration beyond the defined path. A bit more flexibility or guidance for edge cases would make the experience even better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Student Experience With Skillable Live Labs"
0/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

I wish I could find things I like about Skillable. But every time I am required to use it is awful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

Things start incredibly slowly. Taking minutes to load a single lesson. Everything is simulated, whether or not I gain anything by it being simulated. Accomplishing tasks does not automatically check off things so you're left constantly leaving the lesson to manually check boxes and keep up with where you're at, breaking flow and concentration. Evaluate Questions can take a stupid amount of time to verify as well. And that's when the labs are working. So many times the labs have bugged out completely and left me unable to complete them. This is an incredibly frustrating experience to deal with. I hate every second using them and wish I could skip them so I could get back to actually learning.

Response from Jenny Davis of Skillable

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the labs! Would you be open to emailing me at jenny.davis@skillable.com so I can get information about which of our customers' labs you're using? Then we could work with them to improve the experience.

"Immersive, User-Friendly Labs That Make Learning Practical and Engaging"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

Hands-On Learning Experience

Users consistently praise Skillable's variety of well-designed labs that provide tactile, hands-on learning experiences. The labs help learners grasp concepts through practical application rather than just theory, with one user noting they were "the perfect learning tool".​

User-Friendly Interface

Skillable earns high marks for being intuitive and easy to use. The platform presents information in an easy-to-read format alongside desktop environments, with flexible login options using Microsoft or Google accounts. It's been recognized with G2's "Best Usability" and "Highest User Adoption" badges.​

Real-World Simulation Quality

Users appreciate the high degree of simulation (89% satisfaction) that mimics real lab environments, providing immersive learning experiences. The platform's similarity to professional environments like VMware Hands-on Labs makes the transition to real-world applications seamless.​ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

Caching and State Problems

Users report that labs occasionally lose their cached state and fail to load properly. Since many organizations use Skillable frequently, even small technical issues can significantly impact training delivery.​

Lab Instruction Rigidity

Some users find that lab instructions can be too rigid, leaving little room for exploration beyond the defined learning path. Users would appreciate more flexibility or guidance for edge cases to make the experience better suited for different learning styles.​

Performance Issues

Users occasionally experience performance problems including slow lab loading, screen blackouts with reconnect messages, and performance monitors topping out during specific steps. These issues can be particularly problematic when connecting through corporate VPNs, proxies, or managed networks.​ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very good platform for teachers who teach concepts and techniques in the technology unit."
5/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

The ease of managing classes and monitoring student progress. The number of labs available for students to complete is great; they can experience how the cloud platform works, even without access to a student account.

I can't comment on customer support, as I haven't had to use it. However, it was always readily available if I needed it. People who had trouble finding a tool or integrating with other services said the process was easy with customer support.

The frequency of use varies, as it's directly proportional to the implementation of services in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

One of the issues I identified when I first gained access was the availability and latency of the labs accessing Skillable's servers. This may be a problem due to the high demand on the telecommunications infrastructure in the region where I live.

Other than that, the ease of implementation is incredibly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Learning Platform with Great Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

I appreciate Skillable for its highly reliable virtual machine instructions and unique features that enhance learning experiences. The platform's minimal issues and accurate instructions make it seamless and efficient. It's straightforward for beginners, allowing easy access to virtual machines and lab exercises. The feature that lets me directly view and assist a learner's screen is invaluable, particularly for large groups. The scheduling feature and the ability to relaunch labs improve learning retention significantly. Skillable's deep integration with Microsoft services, especially Azure, stands out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

I find it problematic that while monitoring the screen of learners, I am unable to speak with them directly through the platform. Although I can perform actions on their screen, not having the ability to enable the mic and communicate verbally is a significant limitation. This requires me to use an external method to talk to the students while overseeing their activities, creating a disjointed experience. It would be beneficial if there was functionality that allowed for real-time communication with students within the platform while monitoring their screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent support and effective hands-on learning platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Skillable?

I really like how Skillable combines realistic, hands-on labs with clear guidance. It’s very helpful to practice directly in real environments instead of just reading theory. I also appreciated the quick and professional support I received — my issue was resolved efficiently, which gave me even more confidence in using the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillable?

My only challenge was that I initially had trouble accessing my exams, but the support team responded quickly and solved the issue. Since then, everything has been working smoothly, and I don’t have any major complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
