Cloud Academy: My Goto Knowledge Platform
We are using Cloud Academy to prepare our transition to the cloud. It has been a tremendous resource with learning paths for all 3 major cloud providers and training programs for related cloud technology. I really feel the urge to spend a lot of time with the training courses. Thank you for designing such a wonderful knowledge platform!
PROSCloud Academy has opened the doors for me to step into the vast domain of Cloud Computing. The course-ware has a vast array of well selected training programs at various levels such that even beginners can easily navigate the courses and gain real knowledge. I especially like the Dashboard feature that shows where I am in my journey, how I have fared in the tests and what is my learning path. The course videos are well made, of good quality and are followed up with relevant tests. There are even hands-on labs where you get to interact with actual cloud resources. Also, it was very easy to integrate with existing processes.Overall, I could not have asked for anything better.
CONSI personally feel that the DevOps module could be made more concise to keep the user's focus. Other than that everything looks pretty solid.

Most cost-effective learning platform
Training plan layouts are really useful and good to help me track my individual goals. The virtual lab environments save me a TON of time dealing with setting things up in AWS when I want to learn something there, and not have to deal with billing after the fact.
CONSThe only con I have is Id like to see more python labs to help with intermediate learning.
Reasons for switching to Cloud Academy
acloudguru was mostly marketing and a lot of fluff once you got into the service. They seem to try and create high production videos but with less actual technical content that you care about.

Best place to learn cloud and prep for your certification
Well balanced content to cover cloud service in depth and summize at a higher level for solution building. Also extremely good for your preparation of cloud certification - I tried many different cloud training sites before I settled with Cloud Academy, which is the best with efficient content and superb customer support. The right mix of lecture, hands-on lab and exam help me to fit the learning in my busy schedule and allow me to finish certification exam prep in relative short time (~ 3months for AWS Solution Architect Certificate - Assoc). The CA simulation exam has the closest form to the real exam, which is the most valuable for one to pass certification exam.
CONSThere are so many offered on Cloud Academy site and it is easy to get deviated by other interesting topics/learning paths. Hoped CA offer a "tiered" layout to help stay focused.

I recommend Cloud Academy for everyone who wants to learn cloud topics easy and relatively fast
It's a good platform to learn even downloading your app and watch videos from there.
PROSThe videos have the duration enough to understand the topic, even if it's a complicated one or not.
CONSI would like to add a camera showing the speaker. It could improve the attention of the topics watching the real person.
Reason for choosing Cloud Academy
Because it has a mobile app to watch the courses and the people that give the course are really expert on the topic

CONSI don't like the idea of ranking my profile within my company on the training. Rather than motivating me to do better, I always feel like I can never catch up with others even I put in my time to learn.

Cloud Academy - The Digital Upskiller
Absolutely loving it. In general, I am eager in learning and start with a very good note but little inconsistent and end up not finishing many courses I have started. But with Cloud Academy, I feel I am kind of motivated and utilize whole free time in learning here. It could be because of the way the content is presented.
PROSDashboard, Ease of navigation, Leaderboards and Relevant suggestions based on the completed course/lab.
CONSFor some of the courses, the content(fonts, colors) or image quality and sharpness can be significantly improved. Another one is, though not a major one, sometimes following the author's slang is little difficult. One has to be very attentive or replay the course to decipher if the word spoke was "can" or "can't".
