A dynamic learning environment for a dynamic work environment
What do you like best about the product?
A Cloud Guru is a learn at your own pace environment. It goes deep into the fundamentals of the cloud. Whether you are interested in any of the major cloud environments they carefully go over each aspect so that you can have an understanding in the environment you are interested in.
What do you dislike about the product?
The few things i disliked was the lack of practice exams they have available for each certification course
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In A Cloud guru i am able to learn at my own pace. This provides me the ability to go back and review a lesson without feeling any pressure of falling behind. Not only that but they provide links to documentation so that i can dig deeper on the lesson that they are covering. I am also able to participate in various labs to further my understanding. The ability to go in a sandbox and press buttons or type out commands makes all the difference between understanding something on a theoretical level to a fundamental level. Almost like a name to face reference. I may understand how a tool works but to actually set it up at my own pace is a difference maker.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to become certified in any cloud environment ACG is the place to go. They have very good lessons multiple labs to complete and a very active community with a wide variety of questions that sometimes are related to the lessons themselves or even tips on how to pass certification exams.
Great Cloud Learning Site!
What do you like best about the product?
The instructors know the material and deliver in a way that makes it an excellent way to study.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no real downsides to the A Cloud Guru Platform, only suggestion is an app for Smart TVs, like Apple TV
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning about different cloud platforms and studying for Certification Exams. I have been able to Pass all three of my attempted AWS certification exams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A Cloud Guru is a great platform for studying for Certification Exams as well as keeping up to date with cloud technologies. The ability to study new technologies makes that platform great for continuing education.
An awesome resource for learning the various cloud platforms, and now Linux Academy courses!!
What do you like best about the product?
The content of the training and labs are excellent quality, and are constantly being updated to keep up with the breakneck pace of changes in the technology that impacts user experience with the cloud, as well as Linux. The fact that you learn BY DOING is the best aspect of the material.
What do you dislike about the product?
In these early days of supporting Linux Academy legacy courses, there are some helpful resources missing (such as scripts and links to build packages in Linux). Some of these resources are mentioned in the training, but are not yet available in A Cloud Guru. But we have been assured this is being addressed, so we will be patient as these helpful resources make it into A Cloud Guru.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on getting entry level Certified Cloud Practitioner certification, and hope to get the first level Linux certification in the near future. These I hope help to be starting points for further more advanced certifications that may help to advance my future career prospects.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help give me a quick start on the topic I would like to know.
Two AWS Certifications Achieved
What do you like best about the product?
Brisk pace for the hands on exercises keeps things moving quickly. Very good at highlighting what points are key for the exam. Forum questions are answered well so you rarely get stuck on something that someone else hasn't already asked and had answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few places where the course materials are not up to date with the latest AWS UI changes. You can usually get around it, but there were a couple of times where it was frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Was able to pass the AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Cloud Developer on the first attempt.
The best investment I've made in my career.

Flexibility
New features announced including the cloud playground and how well that will enable me to get real experience, hands-on is the way I learn best!

I got multiple cloud certifications thanks to A Cloud Guru.

ACloudGuru Review
What do you like best about the product?
Very succinct and well thought out videos
What do you dislike about the product?
Updates to the lessons can sometimes be outdated

Real world problems and have conceptual understanding of new cloud services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great place to start learning and has expanded learning services to containers, Linux, and all major cloud providers.
Engaging and the Best Value on the Market
What do you like best about the product?
The balanced mix of lecture and lab. The lectures are short and to the point and followed by a lab to really help the subject matter sink in.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a list of supplemental courses to the Certificate Course I am taking at the time. If I am working towards a certification, a resource page that easily points me to individual course topics I might have trouble with during the main course.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have received one certification and am working on my second one. The list of discussion question fellow students pose that exists to the side panel in each video is great. It has helped me better understand topics because I have to make a clear and concise answer. These questions also have answers that better help me too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want something engaging, that will give you the best bang for your buck, sign up for ACG! You can go month to month or pay for the year, (which I have). Basically, the community help, the video and instruction quality, and the labs pretty much ensure you will pass your exam. For some topics I struggle with, I simply watch their Master Class videos to gain more insight and better prepare me for immediate exam needs and future real-world experience.
Inspirational and positive cloud training
What do you like best about the product?
How passionate the trainers are and manner the materials are delivered
What do you dislike about the product?
Some material out of date and could do with more Azure training materials
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building up more professional knowledge of all cloud platforms in order to take more cloud certifications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try some of courses and be inspired. Try to perform the labs at least once per month - fun and educational!
