ACG is the way to go to get the best value for your money
What do you like best about the product?
ACG gives fun and sometimes quirky in depth technical knowledge of concepts and services of the major cloud providers. The current events shows for technology are pretty fantastic. The ease of use in the UI gives me a quick glance of what I need to finish when I login. The learning paths are a huge advantage against analysis paralysis giving people clear course work to work on without the distraction of what-if vs this is industry standard. The labs and sandboxes allow me to work within a single pane of glass without having to switch between providers and maintain multiple accounts across platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat expensive buy high value for the constant updated information and news casts. Persistent login is a problem I see, I'd like to be able to login once and stay logged in for at least 30 days instead of verifying my session every time. I find that security feature annoying. The wealth of information can be daunting with the sheer enormity of content available it is hard to focus on mastery of a cloud platform or service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The information provided to get certified is a good starting point for those that are new or lacking expertise in a certain service or Cloud Platform. The amount of information available and current podcasts put out by ACG is more than other online learning courses provide. ACG regularly updates their course work and gives you timelines of when the industry changes their certifications. You also get real work experienced teachers with practical advice and best practices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ACG is the best cloud education provider I've found. Many of the courses I've used here have led to more opportunities to grow within my organization leading to a direct correlation of more income.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
ACG won't become an exclusive partner of AWS for nothing. ACG is awesome especially if you want to learn AWS!
More than worth the value!
What do you like best about the product?
Their training focus on what is really needed for a certification. In the vast world of information it is sometimes difficult to focus on what really matters.
What do you dislike about the product?
A Cloud Guru is expensive. I was able to do it when I was employed to grow in my job but I consider it as important for students and people unemployed while their budget is restraint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Within a couple of month (less than 5), with a fulltime job, I got three AWS certifications in the 1st attempt. AWS certified Solutions Architect Associate, AWS certified Sysops Administrator Associate, AWS certified Security Speciality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider it an investment in your future. Yes, it is not cheap but the certification exams are also not cheap and it is better to be optimally prepared than lost in a vast world of irrelevant information for your certification.
Best AWS certification prep classes
What do you like best about the product?
A cloud guru’s certification prep classes are comprehensive, tailored to the test, the instructors have very applicable examples, and their quizzes and practice questions are very good. Some of them are virtually verbatim to the actual test.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can’t think of any downsides other than the price is not free, but you get what you pay for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have passed three associate certification exams all on the first try and all three within two months using acloud guru’s prep materials.
A Cloud Guru secure your future learning
What do you like best about the product?
There is a schedule and schema to follow with progress. Just follow the path, you don´t need to find your way by your self googling around.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. The learning paths could be even improved. Some frontend dev tech could be useful.
More hands on for particular AWS-products.(I´m most intreseted in AWS-relevant stuff.)

What do you like best about the product?
The AWS lectures are short and simple to understand. You do not need to be a IT expert to understand the cloud concepts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The content from Linux Academy for Azure lesson can be better improved to meet the standards of the AWS and Google lectures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a way to quickly get your cloud skills and do it in a cheap way. A Cloud Guru is your choice.
Fantastic in-depth training
What do you like best about the product?
I love how casual the instructors are in their lectures. It doesn't feel like force learning, and they can make the uninteresting topics quite engaging. The examples used are real world, and the hands on labs lectures show you step by step what to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an advanced user, a few lectures can go on a bit too long, though I do realise that they need to cater for those who could be new to the space. I also wish they had more project-specific content, like "here's a project we are going to create from scratch, these are the pieces we'll need and how they will fit together and why each service was chosen. Now lets get building." The hands-on labs do these to a small degree and are focused on a specific cloud-vendor service, I'd love to see them build whole projects step by step utilising many different services to show how the full application stack all fits together. That said, their content is still incredibly in-depth as it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've learned how VPC's work, how subnets work, how to handle security in a far better way through IAM roles (opposed to credentials stored in apps) , and why there are so many different EC2 instance types. I also feel confident about redesigning my project to take advantage of a few serverless services on AWS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's well worth the price of admission. Set yourself a study schedule, don't wait for a rainy day. Set a few hours each week to study and commit to it. Form a study group and meet with each other once or twice a week to discuss what pieces you have learned, quiz eachother. You will all get more out of it. I set this up at a prior organisation and everyone loved it. Get management's buy-in. After the first round of students gaining new skills we found over $10k in monthly AWS bill savings.
Don't just watch the videos showing the hands-on labs. Do it along side them in your own account

They go stray to the point!
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to remove courses from my catalog.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you can’t remove old courses from your catalog. I’d like to see more Azure hands on labs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Leaning more about different topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good content and for a good price.
