I'm very glad for this site and its services. It prepared me well for two IAAP exams. It provides great resources. I attended one of the conferences it sponsored and met a great community with it. We use the VS Code extension at work often.

Pros

I learned a ton from the lesson planners. The way lessons were grouped was very helpful. I also appreciated how it kept track of my progress. They were organized in a way that makes it easy to also use the lessons as a reference. The VS Code extension is also very helpful.

Cons

It would be nice if the VS Code extension offered more features. Would also be nice if there were configuration options.

Accessibility is a weird space with many players that simply can't deliver on promises. Deque produces the open-source engine many other systems use. Other providers claim to solve problems that are too complicated to be automated away. Deque instead shows you how to resolve issues at the source. I trust the results I get from Deque, and know that solving issues with this tool provides a better long-term result.

Pros

Provides trustworthy accessibility information at its most up-to-date. Easy to use, provides both a useful summary for describing issues to others, and detailed technical information for implementation. Has a reasonable pricing model that doesn't assume I'm an enterprise if I'm a developer.

Cons

Chrome is required; doesn't work within other browsers which can somewhat limit browser testing.

Great for training and quick scanning

Pretty good minus what I mentioned above.

Pretty good minus what I mentioned above.

Pros

I love that they have a whole on-demand academy for training and prepping for certificate exams. I also like that their axe scan tool is so easy that we could have our PMs and UXers run the scans and it was really clear what we needed to fix and what was and was not in complpiance.

Cons

for the first year I had worked with Deque I had a hard time getting someone to work with me to see if we could come up with a solution for our enterprise QA automation, but it took a while to get someone to call me back, and also when I did talk to someone who I believe to be the son of the founder, we determined they didn't have what they needed. After I signed a deal with Level Access a year later they started hard selling me on their automated services, which was too late. SO that was a bummer cause I liked Deque. Level Access has been great too.

I love Deque - we utilize them for accessibility training on campus. Not only do they have a lot of knowledge they share in their trainings, but the amount of FREE virtual trainings that are offered is impressive. I have been participating in many of these and I always take away some good nugget of information. Their presenters are very responsive and active during the presentations but also after the fact in their slack channel. It's nice to have a knowledgeable community available when you aren't quite sure or need to knock and idea around. :)

Pros

We recently purchased the Axe Dev Pro Tools to run audits and remediate our web properties within our department. The browser extension itself makes it so simple to run through an audit and minimal technical understanding of accessibility is necessary - therefore the testing can easily be completed by student staff or other non-technical partners and then handed off to technical staff to do the remediations. Beyond the ease of use, the ability to save reports has helped us supply necessary metrics to compliance teams.

Cons

There is a slight learning curve when you first use the browser extension for tests. It was not prohibitive by any means and the benefits far outweigh the time spent to learn. No different than any other new software that you might have to learn to use.
