The learning material doesnt prepare you for the projects
What do you like best about the product?
Interactive, videos, having mentors, having your own path, being able to skip material or projects,
What do you dislike about the product?
The material doesn't prepare you for the projects. It is like if you are learning a new language and after you are taught how to say a few sentences they ask you to create an essay with 1000 words using scientific language, and of course not using any translation because that would be cheating... The material and the projects are way too off from each other.
If you really want to measure what we are learning, make a project that includes what has been learned with the material, for sure you will avoid a lot of frustration among the students and also among the mentors that are totally unable to tell you where to find a source to learn what the learning material didn't show.
The deadlines are unrealistic to learn the material and finish the projects. The deadlines are only creating more frustration and if anything is learned, it will be forgotten within a week because of the very constrained time. It is impossible to absorb the material.
The platforms are also very frustrating, for example, AWS. To create every single time the clusters is one of the things I hate and it brings no added value to my learning. Airflow is even worse, all the time that the udacity workspace is refreshed the connections and variables in Airflow are deleted and you need to set them up every single time that the workspace is refreshed.
Sometimes one mentor tells you a solution and the next moment another tells you another solution. Until you get the mentor that really knows what he is talking about it takes a while and you will change your original code many times because of the instructions of the mentor to realize that their solution didnt work.
Many times I have discovered steps in the project because a mentor mentioned, for example that a code provided in the project has to be run in redshift before you can even start running the code that you are asked to create or that the errors can be looked up in redshift with a specific code. None of this is explained in the training material.

So far there's nothing I dislike from Udacity.

It is sometimes difficult to connect depending on the system environment of the PC, and we would like to see improvements.We felt that a more comfortable selection of tools would be even better.

The syllabus was good a bit outdated outdated on my particular nanodegree but overall it was what I needed

a bit outdated content that can be updated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Udacity is filling the gap for skills that you aquire on the job and what is on demand but you cant learn if you are switching careers or dont have a job yet in that field.
Amazing!, love that it's a very practical course with projects that make you actually learn.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interactive quizzes and projects that make sure that you are learning, I also really like the mentor support team, which are not common on other platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes it's outdated content, and some of the videos explaining how to do stuff are useless because they are outdated. one example is the React native course
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Udacity is a career saver for me since the educational level of my community is nothing compared to what I can learn from Udacity nano degrees programs. Thus, Udacity has helped me build my professional career.
Very useful hands/on experience.

I've used Udacity
What do you like best about the product?
The content tends to be better than other platforms. The projects are usually very well thought out as well, and the thoughts are focused fairly well on the topic being taught.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike Udacity support. You cannot cancel or pause a subscription without human intervention which feels very predatory - particularly to those who are younger, less self-assured, and trying to get into tech. This is compounded by the high prices of courses and not offering an "all you can eat" model for all courses. Additionally, the quality of reviewers tends to be low with reviewers often getting things wrong, advocating bad practices, and even not understanding the assignments they're grading. Finally, course content is fine for when courses are created, but technology changes and using the same project template for 15 months while the related technologies change results in bad user experience and things that just don't even work at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Udacity is helping me learn technologies I'm interested in in focused / curated ways, and that's nice. Quality per course is generally good as well, which can be helpful.
