I was seeking more information on products for business cases, which was my major use case for Red Hat Learning Subscription.

I was dealing with the product for training subscriptions for approximately a month or so. Red Hat Learning Subscription is very good as it allows you to do self-paced training, but there is also online training or on-demand training. You have on-demand training and other types of training such as virtual classroom. They are all of a high standard and the quality of education is very good.

I have been using the hands-on lab environment when dealing with Red Hat Learning Subscription. The labs are good, and I did not experience any problems or things not working as expected. I did not really require any assistance to fix things to work further with it. It is of high quality and standard.

Role-based training in the sense of a whole stack of training to reach a certain point in relation to my assessment of this aspect can work well. If you don't have as much experience or exposure, in certain aspects it will probably work better if you are just more selective as to what you want. You can choose your own path.

I tracked my progress with the skill assessments online before doing the training for Red Hat Learning Subscription. I did some of those as well. It is more a general guidance type of thing. It gives a fairish view of where you are at.

I agree that it was useful for my career development, as it gives you a view of where your shortcomings are and then you can plan accordingly as to which courses you need to take.

Definitely, the learning paths helped me utilize Red Hat technologies more effectively. I wouldn't say you know everything and obviously one forgets, so you have to practice and there is some discipline you have to apply towards learning these technologies. The quality is good, so you learn the technologies and have the opportunity to learn the technologies very well, but you still have to put in the effort.

One example of disadvantages I have seen in Red Hat Learning Subscription would be the human factor, which is present in any case anywhere, so it is not really a critique. Virtual classroom training can probably cause misunderstandings sometimes, as one can misinterpret what is being said because it is a virtual type of classroom. Otherwise, it is very good.

It was used for about a month, or maybe two months for Red Hat Learning Subscription training, more on virtual classroom, but previously I did on-demand training as well.

Regarding the stability of the product, I would say it was good. I didn't experience any issues, so I would give it a 10.

I would give it a seven for scalability because the labs couldn't be as powerful, but they were sufficient enough.

I cannot really rate the technical support from Red Hat because I didn't require support with the training.

I have probably just used Udemy courses and books before, but not similar to this standard.

I would rate the installation and ease of deployment from zero to 10 an eight, as I would say it is challenging, but that is the whole point. You need to challenge yourself with the installations on the labs. It is easy enough to follow along, but it is not too easy. You actually learn and actually grow.

I have not observed some return on investment as yet, but it definitely broadens knowledge as to what works and what doesn't work and how to reach a certain point to get to a position where you can actually get a return on investment.

I would say it is expensive in general for Red Hat Learning Subscription. A company will have to assist in paying for it. It is not something somebody can do out of pocket.

I wouldn't say there is anything comparatively as good as Red Hat Learning Subscription on the market.

I am not really right now in relation with these products, but I have done some research, but not really anything substantial that I can provide. The only thing that you can probably look at is maybe that OpenShift can run on all cloud platforms as a cloud platform.

Red Hat Learning Subscription is used for employee training and learning. The e-learning solution serves as our primary training platform.

Ansible provides automation capabilities that deliver significant value. The solution saves time, which is one of the primary benefits.

Red Hat Learning Subscription offers access to almost all courses, providing flexibility to users. Red Hat Learning Subscription's hands-on lab environment enhances the learning experience by allowing people to gain more hands-on experience and practice.

Role-based learning paths within the tool are not utilized. The course structure is relatively simple, and we do not implement role-based path setup in that manner.

Progress is tracked through skill assessments for each employee, but Red Hat Learning Subscription is not heavily used for this purpose. We have our own method to check progress and do not rely on the vendor's path tracking to monitor employees.

Red Hat Learning Subscription's learning portal is adequate and very good. However, Red Hat's product portfolio needs to expand. Currently, it focuses only on Red Hat Linux, Ansible, and JBoss, which represents a very small market. Red Hat has only two major products on the market at this moment.

Red Hat Learning Subscription's pricing is acceptable, but I would suggest splitting some categories. The learning portal currently includes everything related to all Red Hat products. However, some people focus only on specific roles. For example, some focus solely on the Ansible role, while others focus only on Linux. My team is a Linux team, so we only need content related to Red Hat Linux. Developers might want to focus on Ansible without much involvement with Red Hat Linux. If the portal could be split into separate portals such as a JBoss portal and an Ansible portal that focus exclusively on their respective course offerings, it would make selection easier. Rather than having users choose from everything and potentially only take two or three courses out of fifty or sixty available courses, categorizing the courses and reducing prices would attract more people to subscribe.

For new hire employees with no experience, Red Hat Learning Subscription definitely helps them understand red hat technologies more effectively. However, my employees have been working here for ten years. They have been studying and refreshing their knowledge across Red Hat versions six through ten, so they already understand most of the material.

Ansible has been in use for approximately six to seven years. As a manager, I do not directly work with it, so I cannot recall the exact timeframe.

I am not the right person to assess the value of Ansible's pre-built roles or playbooks in automation efforts because I do not use it directly. My team uses it, and I am unable to provide detailed technical assessments at that level.

My team does not utilize the agentless architecture.

Red Hat Learning Subscription helps with career development for employees.

Red Hat's support is rated at an eight at this moment. The overall review rating for this product is nine.
