Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
QA Cloud Training & Certification is a UK-based enterprise training provider that offers instructor-led and virtual training sessions across different cloud platforms and ecosystems including AWS , Azure , cloud security, data architecture tracks, and DevOps, all of which provide certificates upon completion. The training is structured in a detailed way, utilizing resources that train using real-world examples of how organizations use cloud technology.
The main use case involves driving the business smoothly through regulatory audits, risk mitigation, and securing data by ensuring secure cloud architecture, which greatly improves audit readiness, reduces cloud misconfiguration risks, and decreases security risks and cyber attacks with stronger security firewalls.
QA Cloud Training & Certification focuses on cloud infrastructure, ensuring that users who register for particular cloud architecture or cloud technologies not only pass the exams but also gain extensive knowledge from the sessions conducted, along with hands-on experience from the labs held after each session.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use a different solution before QA Cloud Training & Certification.
How was the initial setup?
We did not evaluate any other options before choosing QA Cloud Training & Certification. We considered self-learning but felt it lacked the real-world examples and hands-on experience that QA Cloud Training & Certification provides, which is why we opted for their platform.
What about the implementation team?
My company does not have any business relationship with this vendor beyond being a customer.
What was our ROI?
I can confidently say that after receiving training from QA Cloud Training & Certification, there is a positive impact on the organization, especially in terms of significant time saved in researching cloud recommendations for clients, marking it as a worthwhile investment for equipping resources with cloud technology, particularly as we are already involved in AI and cloud developments.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for QA Cloud Training & Certification are in line with industry standards when compared to others. Based on my experiences and interactions, it's quite good, although the prices can be a bit higher while also reflecting the quality of teaching provided.

What other advice do I have?
There is a lot of positive impact on the organization. Completing certifications and training instills confidence in us, enabling us to solve real-world problems and enhance the existing skill sets we have.
Since post-training from QA Cloud Training & Certification, we have noticed a significant reduction in mistakes from our side. We already know how to utilize the cloud and recommend it to our clients, which has led to a very minimal margin of error. Additionally, we no longer need to navigate portals or seek help from our cloud personnel, as we are equipped with the necessary cloud awareness to directly propose best practices to clients, resulting in faster and smoother project delivery.
Since we have completed AWS and Azure training, we have gained significant cloud knowledge. Even though we have only completed basic certification, it helps us understand what cloud technology entails and how it can assist organizations in restructuring their current technology trends. Being in a consulting firm, it enables me to suggest the best cloud practices to users and clients, making me a more cloud-equipped professional.
For anyone looking to use QA Cloud Training & Certification, if they want to skill up their resources with cloud technology, DevOps, secure data concepts, and more, this platform is a must-consider option because it trains resources using real-world examples and labs.
Every product cannot achieve a perfect score of ten; however, my experience with QA Cloud Training & Certification has been very good. Moreover, the real-time labs, examples, and training interactions they conduct with learners are highly appreciated, as they invest time in teaching users to grasp concepts and effectively implement them in the real world. I rate this product a nine out of ten.

Cloud Academy AWS CLF-C02 Course helped me passed my first AWS Certification
Reviewed on Dec 15, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The video lectures are very indepth and simple to understand. Also, the course paths created for various certifications are very appropriate and helpful considering the standards of the exam. Cloud Academy also provides access to hands on labs after every few modules, and we actually get to exercise all that we learned, and this is the best part about Clous Academy. There are tests after every few modules (atleast for AWS Certification Coursee that I did) and that helps to gain clear insight about our preparation level for those module concepts. We get to know which topics we need to focus on or which are our strong or weak areas. At the end of the certification course, there was a proper complete test which resembled the original certification test. The level of questions, the focused topics, the type of answer options for the question, the time alloted and cloud academy test interface was all very similar to original certification test. This was very helpful for my certification and was like a mock test which helped me boost my score in original test and thus, I could pass my test. These are the things I liked about Cloud Academy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The content provided in the course are a little too exhaustive, so if a learner has less time then it would get very difficult to study. Because of long length of the course, at times lectures can get boring for the learner and motivation to complete the course might decrease. These are the things that I dislike or would want Cloud Academy to improve on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on AWS currently in my job role project, and I didn't have any knowledge about AWS before. So AWS helped me gain the required knowledge to get started with AWS. Also, I could clear my AWS Cloud Practioner Certification becuase of Cloud Academy course. This has helped me solve my AWS doubts and I have also been able to migrate my application from on premises clous to AWS and it has helped me and my team solve lot of problems and increase revenue of our business. Similarly, I know many other friends and colleagues who have developed successful applications on AWS utilising the ClouD Academy AWS course and that has solved many of their technology/cloud related problems like storage, availability, etc.
