I find this ne is the most complete one. Pros \- Labs are great - Challange labs are great as it makes you really think and troubleshoot - Courses are well designed in good amount of detail - Test also good to challenge knowledge Cons \- Dashboard was bit confusing, had to hunt around to find the test I had already completed Reason for choosing QA Liked how CA was laid out, labs, level of content. Would be good to get courses around Apigee, as their is very light content out their, and if CA was to provided same as other courses it would be a first to provided good training.

You guys are the best, and surely making a difference here in this field. Pros Frankly, the best thing about cloud academy is its interface. Not only the course material but also Leaderboard feature, real time lab environment (aws console in my case), standard question pattern for the exams or lab challenges they held , and mostly the way cloud academy team supports every issue you face with the application. Too good. Thank you som much Cons I have used many learning platforms , but this has been the best yet. I would really appreciate if you guys add the brief pdf version of the lectures.

Sr. Software Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cloud Academy: My Goto Knowledge Platform" March 31, 2020 5.0 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! Pros Cloud 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. Cons I personally feel that the DevOps module could be made more concise to keep the user's focus. Other than that everything looks pretty solid.

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.

Review Source Response from QA December 3, 2020 Hi Warren, thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! Keep on training! RQ Randy Q. Architect Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best place to learn cloud and prep for your certification" August 25, 2020 5.0 Pros 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. Cons There 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.

Just before certification you can search for a subject and find all the questions the engine has on it with detailed answers, this is great for really clearing up weak ares before an exam.
