Compared to other competitors these guys have it figured out but I recommend you try out other types. We all learn differently and will gravitate to what works best.

Great value and service for Individuals new to the service.

  • July 22, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent teachers with tons on hands on learning demonstrations. Ryan is the best of them. Too often online technical courses will bore you with theory but ACG wastes no time getting your hands dirty with coding and configuring from the get go. They were heavily focussed on Amazon Web Services initially but over the last year and a half have been balancing their courses with more Azure and Google cloud offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some courseware is out of date or can be in preview mode for extended periods. They do try to keep current as things evolve. Also have had some frustrating glitches in linking my Linkedin Profile for authentication and had to recreate my account under a different name. Unfortunately course progress from prior account was lost. The exam simulations are a cit easy compared to what you will encounter in the real AWS exams. You used to be able to purchase courses individually but they have now moved to a subscription model. The pricing still provides substantial value for the investment. The mobile application can be difficult to get working correctly so I recommend viewing these sources on your laptop or iPad directly hooked up to the internet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is an excellent and engaging set of courses for persons new to Cloud Computing platform. I also appreciate them tackling harder subjects such as cost management, Serverless coding and containers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
LPIC-1 course needs to be updated as it refers to prior exam and does not completely cover new curriculum.

The process to sign up to A Cloud Guru was very easy. The account team helped to ensure a smooth application of the licensing to our AWS account. License access was immediate.

A Cloud Guru - our #1 cloud training vendor

  • April 15, 2019
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

A Cloud Guru is our #1 go to vendor for cloud certification training. We have a very high success rate of our employees passing the certification exams. The exam simulator has been a great tool for exam preparation.

This year we started a test group with the license based console where we can track users and their progress has been something management likes seeing the stats on. Ordering licenses on the marketplace is very easy and fast.

I help manage the training budget for cloud training and I will continue to encourage our users to use A Cloud Guru as our preferred vendor for all cloud training.

Great Training Tool!!!!

A Cloud Guru is all that and a bag of my favorite chips!!!! They are spot on with content to help you get ready for your certification exams. The hands on training is great and helps you understand what you need to know. We have had this tool since December and already have two AWS CCP's and one Certified Solutions Architect. Two more working on AWS solutions architect and one working on the developer track. Great tool!!!! Highly recommend!!!

A game changer for our teams

  • April 15, 2019
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

My team has been using acloud guru for the past year, and we have seen accelerated learning across the board.

50% of the users have achieved at least 1 AWS certification within the first 6 months.

In addition to the excellent certification training. acloud guru also offers weekly update series that can help you keep pace with the rapidly changing cloud services. They also offer courses on multiple clouds, docker, linux, and even some business focused leadership courses that I've found very relevant.

Finally their advanced cloudformation and S3 masterclass are offering I've found nowhere else.

I'll also mention that the tools offered to manage the training for my users, and report on students progress has really helped me align training to real on the job performance.

Make your employees cloud gurus!

I can personally thank acloud.guru for helping me get my devops professional certification on AWS. Simple, approachable training, fantastic message boards and question explanations, not just you got it wrong but why I got it wrong and direct links to where I could fill the gaps in my knowledge. As I approach renewing my pro certification, I am refreshing myself with the course content and its still fantastic.

Based on the needs of my organization and the struggles we have had moving the training needle with our engineers after trying a homegrown training program and a 3-day official onsite training program with limited success. We needed something better and more engaging, and could be referenced in the future. By leveraging acloud.guru and their study group and training accelerator programs we have provided the perfect mix of self-paced training, in person conversations education and the ability to see direct progress of our students in the dashboards. We have also leveraged their API to start building a digital wall of honor for our engineers who have completed their certifications.

If you are looking to improve the KPI's around your AWS training, this is the solution.
