broken signup and silent support

Pros

Getting it set up at the beginning was quite easy.

Cons

Trying to sign up has been a mess because the site was down for two weeks and now it still won't take payment. I sent both a support email and a message on Discord and neither has received a response after two weeks. Having support that actually replies would make a big difference.

Great platform for security learning

Pros

Feels like one of the best learning platforms out there for security professionals whether you're just getting started, working as an analyst or already a security engineer! The dashboard, learning journeys and courses create a really strong experience and make the learning process much more enjoyable. It's genuinely impressive to use and very user friendly overall. Really amazing platform :)

Cons

At this point I don't see any downsides. I've been enjoying it and for now I have nothing negative to point out.

Fresh content

Pros

Working through the hands on labs has been one of the best parts because they use real environments where I can actually practice security skills instead of just reading theory. The content also stays current with relevant topics like DevSecOps and AI security being updated regularly. On top of that the accessible dashboard, progress badges and structured learning paths do a good job of keeping me motivated and helping me stay on track.

Cons

There are so many courses and labs available that it can feel overwhelming at the beginning especially if you are new and unsure where to begin. A few of the advanced labs also do not include enough guided walkthroughs so it is possible to get stuck on more complex challenges. Community interaction feels somewhat limited too and having more peer support or mentoring would make the experience even better.
