Cloud Academy Reviews

Its ability to be used on Android phones

The software took too long to load the courses

The ratings and rankings after a quiz helps to if there are improvements.

The certificates are not industry recognized.

Quality of the material, particularly the labs.

I found it very difficult to navigate the website. If I'd started viewing a video when I came back to the site I'd expect to see it on the front page. That didn't seem to be the case.

Frankly, the best thing about cloud academy is its interface. Not only the course material but also Leaderboard feature, real time lab environment (aws console in my case), standard question pattern for the exams or lab challenges they held , and mostly the way cloud academy team supports every issue you face with the application. Too good. Thank you som much

I have used many learning platforms , but this has been the best yet.
I would really appreciate if you guys add the brief pdf version of the lectures.

- 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

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

Cloud Academy has opened the doors for me to step into the vast domain of Cloud Computing. The course-ware has a vast array of well selected training programs at various levels such that even beginners can easily navigate the courses and gain real knowledge. I especially like the Dashboard feature that shows where I am in my journey, how I have fared in the tests and what is my learning path. The course videos are well made, of good quality and are followed up with relevant tests. There are even hands-on labs where you get to interact with actual cloud resources. Also, it was very easy to integrate with existing processes.Overall, I could not have asked for anything better.

I personally feel that the DevOps module could be made more concise to keep the user's focus. Other than that everything looks pretty solid.

If you want to be an expert in cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Alibaba Cloud, and other cloud platforms then cloud Academy is an incredibly professional platform for you. They have a wide training library including courses, quizzes, and a lot more amazing stuff.

The training library is really easy to understand, that anyone can easily learn. I never faced any issue during learning at this platform, so for me, Cloud Academy is perfect without any kind of cons.

Great material, clear explanation of each concept. Highly recommend for Cloud certifications.

I think allowing users to create playlists would be a great feature.

It's a simple educational tool with great courses available to broaden your horizon. With the Offline mode, you can download courses to watch at your convenient time, without having to connect to the internet.

There are bugs in the android app that needs to be fixed. It crashes.

A lot of courses and excellent instructors

It's quite expensive considering a I'm a Brazilian guy

Training plan layouts are really useful and good to help me track my individual goals. The virtual lab environments save me a TON of time dealing with setting things up in AWS when I want to learn something there, and not have to deal with billing after the fact.

The only con I have is Id like to see more python labs to help with intermediate learning.

Well balanced content to cover cloud service in depth and summize at a higher level for solution building.

Also extremely good for your preparation of cloud certification - I tried many different cloud training sites before I settled with Cloud Academy, which is the best with efficient content and superb customer support.

The right mix of lecture, hands-on lab and exam help me to fit the learning in my busy schedule and allow me to finish certification exam prep in relative short time (~ 3months for AWS Solution Architect Certificate - Assoc). The CA simulation exam has the closest form to the real exam, which is the most valuable for one to pass certification exam.

There are so many offered on Cloud Academy site and it is easy to get deviated by other interesting topics/learning paths. Hoped CA offer a "tiered" layout to help stay focused.

The videos have the duration enough to understand the topic, even if it's a complicated one or not.

I would like to add a camera showing the speaker. It could improve the attention of the topics watching the real person.

The quick topic videos along with the labs and tests are great for someone like me that is working on passing certifications for additional job opportunities. I have access to learning platforms through my employer, but I turn to your platform that I pay for to pass exams. The labs are the biggest benefit since Azure and AWS are platforms you have to pay for.

Some of the programming courses require local setup of software; I prefer not to use my personal environment. The labs set up for cloud technologies is the main reason I pay out of pocket for your platform.

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

There is a lack of Microsoft cloud cert training plans

It includes many different courses in a very broad range of technologies
It includes learning paths that are helpful to prepare for official certifications for AWS

Sometimes the labs do not explain enough why they ask you to do what they ask you to do

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

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.

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.

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

Is the best software to learn and is ver easy to use

This course are a little expensive but is ver extensive

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.

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

labs are the best so is the content, gret instructors

not anything in particular but the content needs to be updated as frequently as cloud tech changes and updates

The best features for me are: the very well designed table of content, the excellent pronunciation, the close caption, the pictures and animations, and most important the difficult themes were beautifull explained.
Also the labs are my favorites, because they guide you through the important facts studied.

Maybe it was my location, but sometimes the video stream was very slow, and the videos pause multiples times during one lesson.

I like the multiple learning options with lectures, labs and exams. Just before certification you can search for a subject and find all the questions the engine has on it with detailed answers, this is great for really clearing up weak ares before an exam.

the one improvement that could make a being impact is having a more configurable approach to exams, ie the numbers of questions and areas to to asked question from

I Love the labs. Getting hand on time which is guided but also allows you to perform other things inside a sandbox is invaluable. I love to see how other platforms do the same task.

Nothing. I love everything about the software and how the UI is setup

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

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