Creating online trainings or certifications is always a cumbersome process. You need to make sure that students have the proper equipment and proper software versions. Instruqt avoids all these problems completely by offering a cloud native way to launch sandbox environments on demand. You can use these environments for product demos, employee onboarding, customer scenarios or even certifications/training. Instruqt provides a very easy and intuitive way to create your own environment from scratch or use one of the existing ones. I really liked the fact that Instruqt had support for Kubernetes environmets out of the box. Creating a course and publishing to the world is straightforward and you can use either the friendly User Interface or the powerful command line tool they offer. Previewing a course is instant with a simple button click. I also love the integrated testing facilities that automatically verify the correctness of the course. They recently added the capability to create your own container images for your courses, improving considerably our startup times. They also have a new feature (hot-start) that allows you to prelaunch your Virtual machines before a live webinar. This is great as our students do not have to wait at all if the VM is already there for them :-)

Instruqt has changed how our company delivers training, demos in conference booths, or even POVs with prospects. It helped us craft and simplify complex environments and demos into a simple package that others can reuse. Now, other departments contribute to the creation of new hands on labs and they understand the value that training us for our customers and the whole company. They also have an exciting roadmap with new product features that we are eager to incorporate to our practice! I still won't change a comma of what I initially said in this review: Right now, there is no other competitor providing the high crafted service of hands-on labs for customer training. I like all the automation that we can create for our labs. At the end, this enable us to define with great detail the practice experience we want our customers and prospects to get with our product. Our team did quite an extensive analysis of other alternatives and there is no other tool out there providing the features Instruqt has right now. Also, Instruqt roadmap is promising.

The best thing about Instruqt is all tools/tabs are contained within a single window. Attendees aren't required to switch between browers or even bring their own logins. Overall, the presentation is very easy to use for our attendees.
