Great platform, would recommend to anyone beginning their cloud journey.
What do you like best about the product?
Lessons are easy to follow, exam simulator is a great resource, sandbox. The team you guys have there is really what makes this product - they have been incredibly responsive with regard to product input, very flexible in accommodating to our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sandbox timeout - would prefer to keep session or resources for a configurable amount of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall we are tackling a technical fluency problem with our organization, there's no way we could manage the content as quickly as things change. We have to rely on providers like ACG to keep our people across the different technology areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When rolling out I would definitely recommend rolling out to small groups in waves (10-30 students per wave) and set up times each week to review content. The accelerator program breaks it up into consumable - definitely worth using.
Great Service! Concise and well delivered
What do you like best about the product?
I had about 5 days to cram and pass the AWS Solutions Architect exam and I passed! It was all because of A Cloud Guru. The content was fast enough and entertaining enough that I could push through it all in just a couple days and they do a great job to review the things they teach you. The other thing is that you really feel like you're only getting the most important content. The SA exam is extremely broad so it can get frustrating, A Cloud Guru helped me focus on what was most important. Everything works as intended, the UI is intuitive, the mobile app actually works, these guys have got it. Totally worth the $30 I paid for the month. Their customer service was even great, I accidentally messed up and signed up for the year subscription and asked for that to be amended, it was addressed painlessly and quickly. 100% recommend.
What do you dislike about the product?
The editing of the videos was kind of rough because you could tell they patch things in to update the material which was actually more comforting than annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had the problem of needing to pass the SA exam in a short period and they totally delivered! I passed my test with about 81% (70% is passing) and it's a tough test.
Refresher on fundamentals with more advanced courses
What do you like best about the product?
They have a wide variety of videos that go from the fundamentals to more advanced topics. I like the "What's new in Java X" for a quick primer on changes in the Java language.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Premium version touts projects for you to code up, but there are very little and not enough of them to warrant the Premium price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to train up my Java coding skills.
It brought some elaboration on subjects that I had forgotten about and more importantly showing me how to use new additions to the Java Language.
I have taken a look at the other videos that it has. I plan on doing their "Paths" to learn various development technologies that I will apply later on in my career.
.
Such Paths include : Amazon Web Services, Various CISCO paths, multiple programming languages.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is only worth it if you will be putting the training hours to use the skills being taught.
Plain your daily training about what you need.
What do you like best about the product?
This web based software offers countless training materials divided into various categories for better viewing, its business model is pay as you go type subscription which gives the user to pay only for the duration of the course without any extra charges, thus making your users maintain full control of your expenses while keeping the budget tight to opt for courses. Offer an excellent revenue channel if you want to sell your specialized courses to learners from all over the world as well as share your teachings through the platform for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the main things missing from this application is to provide lab environments this would mark an exponential increase in improving the expertise and offering specific practices in an environment controlled and prepared specifically for the content that is being imparting by making users also have the visual material of the course a practical material which is so important when it comes to learning any subject. Some programs have topics that can be compressed into fewer videos, as some tend to be redundant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pluralsight serves as training material for our company staff, helping to keep our staff up to date and in constant development of their skills while receiving certifications which are so important to your career. Due to the wide variety of courses it has allowed us to choose the best ones on the platform by reviewing the offline content to make sure the course covers the topics that interest us most to give our employees the best of the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One way to implement cost saving in your company without sacrificing quality in the training you are looking for is one of the strengths that Pluralsight has with its many different courses available which are responsible for delivering the best experience of online training which can be for users looking for a personal development as well as for a business owners who are looking for a reliable and professional alternative to train his staff to fulfill business and personal goals.
A way to stay up daily with technology
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that the app has "paths" to help you focus on one or more topics that you need to learn and / or are interesting for your entertainment providing new information and ideas, comfortably from your cell phone no need to go around looking for the same topic
What do you dislike about the product?
From cellphone sometimes the screen movement tends to be somewhat awkward, following the screen shares and the method of searching for some type of information, the fact of wanting to be looking for parts of some subject is not quite the most interesting, It could be better than it already is.
In addition, the available interactions are limited, according to the courses presented

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apart from being fun and trained, it has kept me up to date, completely updated with the latest technologies and novelties that are presented day by day, making it easier to go step by step learning, explaining to my teammates how essential it is for all software development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It could interest you to keep up with the new and different technology / software that is being presented day by day, keep you busy and entertained at the same time that you are quickly learning some new skill that can be very useful, in addition to generating new ideas, I don't see why not try it and see how much you can get to like this new experience
A refreshing skill check and learning hub
What do you like best about the product?
The skill assessments! They're both great refreshers and validation of current skills, as well as great ways to try something new and identify areas to improve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tutorial videos and learning resources are great, just sometimes move a bit fast for newer users like me!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simply put - Amazing hands on learning!
What do you like best about the product?
Linux Academy was amazing! The lessons were thoughtfully laid out for users who have some, to no experience at all. The instructors offer very clear, concise, and accurate information. You can tell they're subject matter experts from the very beginning. They offer risk free lab environments FREE as part of your subscription. Linux Academy is an invaluable asset to have for training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! The site is easy to navigate, videos are clear and the information is presented correctly and accurately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Education for new products/fields of study.
Pluralsight, A Library of Technology
What do you like best about the product?
Pluralsight provides many opportunities and different ways to learn about things within the tech world, such as: software development, architecture & construction, manufacturing & design, and IT Ops. There are a lot of videos for each course but some paths offer interactive courses that allow you to be involved as you are going through the videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation around the Pluralsight website can be a little overwhelming at first with all the options presented to you; your first few times on the site may require digging around to find specifically what you need. While there are interactive courses, the selection is not as big as the regular courses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Pluralsight to learn the basics to Python through one of the interactive courses they offer. I realize that not only could I learn about the basics of Python but I could also learn about advance techniques. Pluralsight has paths that are aimed at intermediate and advance programmers and provide a diagnostic test that can gauge where you place within a subject.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pluralsight is a great tool for learning about programming development and processes. While a lot of resources are out there with similar content, Pluralsight put it all in one place.
