Udacity is helping people get an introduction to coding and data science, which gave me a head start on my master's degree.
My Udacity Review
What do you like best about the product?
The way lessons are organized, very clear explanations of each topic and a nice hands-on approach.
Concepts are very easy to grasp, therefore, once you get to the practical aspects, you'll have a good conceptual background.

What do you dislike about the product?
In general, all lessons are good, but a few of them are out of date, i.e: maybe using deprecated versions of tools to explain certain things.
It doesn't affect the learning of the concepts, because the fundamental ideas are being conveyed, but generates a bit of friction between hand-on learning and real world experience.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not everyone knows where to start to get into the data realm, Udacity handles this perfectly with its beginner friendly approach and leaves you in a very good level to start into the data realm.
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None, I am learning just because i wanted to learn to program.
I did a nano degree in ux experience. The course was quite well done.
What do you like best about the product?
Exercises and not only theory is very much appreciated as well as the fact that the video are short
What do you dislike about the product?
The continuous spamming of discount by email
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ux design and UI experience
Its a great online educational platform with very rich material/resource.
What do you like best about the product?
Resources and support. Video content is accessible all time. Level of support by peers and leads during enrollment in the scholarship programs. Did not find other competitors with such a level of organized material and easy access to support.
What do you dislike about the product?
No considerable dislikes. Everything works well. There is nothing to get realized with a solution. Need to still encourage more women who have career gaps because of various reasons across all zones in the world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I benefitted a lot while in the break to cope with the latest technologies. Confidence level. Yes, I am more productive. Right now I am not associated to any business.
