Cloud Academy Reviews

Pros

It was easy to get adoption across multiple departments because it truly sets its self apart with hands on labs and assessments

Cons

There is a lack of Microsoft cloud cert training plans

Pros

The learning paths are great! I like how you can set your schedule and due dates. The transcripts are also helpful when I'm not in a mood to watch the video. The courses are structured in a way that make me feel comfortable learning.

Cons

Some of the labs aren't as concise as others and some courses are outdated. I would also like a way to save notes and frames from the video I'm watching like Coursera

Pros

- Labs are great
- Challange labs are great as it makes you really think and troubleshoot
- Courses are well designed in good amount of detail
- Test also good to challenge knowledge

Cons

- Dashboard was bit confusing, had to hunt around to find the test I had already completed

Pros

Best part is available across multiple platform - web based, Android App. Also it is available offline for your review and accessing anytime.

Cons

Found issues in in sync between Mobile (Android app) and Browser based. Had to complete couple of modules twice to get credit. That was something I observer at the beginning of the course and later it worked as expected though. Also observer few things not available in mobile platform - hope future version will take care of this.

Pros

Content is precisely designed to provide user with necessary knowledge on a topic . They also provide hands on labs to get a broader experience on the topic. I used this product for Amazon AWS certification training and the courses were very effective in helping me crack these certifications at ease.

Cons

Some content can be updated more frequently as technologies such as cloud is evolving with new solutions and features every week.

Pros

This application gives you the ease you need to facilitate your learning on cloud solutions and tech. The simplicity makes learning fun as well

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about the software as of yet

Pros

I've found platform very easy to use and enjoyed the presenters. Often times you run across training with either boring instructors or hard to understand English speakers but thats not the case with CA.

Cons

I found it all quite easy to follow along.

Pros

Cloud Academy provides quality training that is available just with a web browser or even mobile device, with lots of practical and relevant exercises, hand-on labs and nice video. I love the labs provided by Cloud Academy, at the beginning not easy for me to solve, but very practical and bringing a lot of satisfaction when done!

Cons

Sometimes individual sessions in some training courses are a bit too long and once or twice my progress on mobile device got de-synchronized with progress in web browser.

Pros

Wide training portfolio, good support for Azure and DevOps

Cons

Short timeslots for Labs, not enough time to test own ideas

Pros

The content is constantly being updated to match the services available in AWS.
All of the content is easy to understand.
You can speed up the videos to 2x speed when you want to.

Cons

It can be a little annoying to go back through your learning path to go over things you skipped.

Pros

The thing I most like about the software is that it is very user friendly

Cons

At this moment because I'm still new, I have not found any issues to complain about. This is a solid program across the board.

Pros

The courses are very fast paced and straight to the point and saves much time learning about the subject. The instructors has well prepared slides and animation.

Cons

Sometimes some topics are too much basic and doesn't have the advanced.

Pros

Very detailed courses along with labs for additional on hands experience. Instructors are knowledgeable and provide good insight as well as provide additional documentation and links.

Cons

After completing learning path and going back in to review, functionality was difficult to bring up each course as it was trying to recommend something else. Could serve to expand courses to a comparable level that can be found on other learning platforms.

only admins allowed to set learning path.

Guided hands on labs were really useful.
Course content was laid out very well.
It was a lot of ground to cover and lot of information to disseminate which was organized well.

2 or 3 sessions towards the end are incomplete.
Some redundant courses in the plan can be eliminated. eg: At least 2 sessions on Lambda share same information

- learning paths
- practical examples

Cons

Pros

The way of presentation and the content of the course with lab and handson.

Cons

Courses are very big and it took so much time to finish. we should make it smaller in size. The license we are getting from company is for one month only. we should get for long time.

Good source of training courses with a wide variety of experience levels and it is easy to find what you're looking for. I also like the mixed approach on the learning paths.

Cons
