What do you like best about TryHackMe?

As a student, I consider TryHackMe an indispensable tool for my education. What I appreciate most is how accessible it makes cybersecurity. I don't need a powerful gaming rig or complex local setup; the cloud-based environment means I can learn from anywhere, focusing purely on skills rather than hardware limitations. The sheer variety of topics keeps me engaged, covering everything from basics to advanced exploits.

However, my absolute favorite part is the competitive aspect. I recently participated in the 'Industrial Intrusion' challenge with my team, and we were thrilled to finish in 39th place. The adrenaline of working under pressure and solving problems in real-time gave us experience that standard lessons simply can't match. These events—and the amazing prizes—show that TryHackMe genuinely cares about its community and invests in our growth. It’s not just a learning platform; it’s a place where I can truly test my limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TryHackMe?

Sometimes the page takes a long time to load, and I have to wait several minutes. It’s not frequent—maybe once a month—but it does happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TryHackMe solving and how is that benefiting you?

TryHackMe solves the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Many courses teach you definitions, but they don't teach you how to actually do the job.

This benefits me directly because the platform allows me to simulate a real analyst's workflow. Through the SAL1 certification, I wasn't just answering multiple-choice questions; I was investigating false positives and true positives in a simulated SOC. This hands-on approach has helped me build the muscle memory and analytical mindset required for a real security role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
