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Some material out of date and could do with more Azure training materials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!
The Best Place to Learn Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
I have used acloud.guru to earn 9 cloud certifications and am depending on them to help me continue my cloud journey. They’ve even helped me learn other essentials like Python, Vim, Chef, etc. that are key in DevOps, but not necessarily cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had some technical difficulties that are taking a long time to resolve even after talking with support. Additionally due to the Linux Academy acquisition there are a good number of duplicate courses like Azure AZ-900 that simply existed on both platforms. I’m hoping ACG consolidated these courses together. Lastly, ACG currently focuses on the big 3 providers, which are AWS, Azure, and GCP; but I wish there was content on Oracle, IBM, and DigitalOcean, etc. that aren’t as big, yet still widely used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’ve been able to cut the operational costs of AWS environments at my company. Furthermore, I’ve used my learning to create extremely complex CloudFormation templates to automate infrastructure in a highly regulated environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you’re pursing cloud certifications from any of the big 3 providers: AWS, Azure, GCP. Then you should purchase an acloudguru membership.
Excellent service - very happy
What do you like best about the product?
I love the energy and passion with which the classes convey. I believe that Ryan is an excellent educator and that he should continue to profess his love for the cloud to help the rest of the Gurus become better every day. There is nothing that you cannot find on the platform, if you have a problem, there is a video with the solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that sometimes you can't add subtitles to videos, and this can be a problem for non-native English speakers. You also need to always be connected to the internet, perhaps you could make an app for the Microsoft Store and be able to download the videos in Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on my Cloud track developing many new skills. I love that when I have a problem I can easily search for an A Cloud' video and then everything gets easier.
I have achieved 2 certifications so far... And I plan to continue certifying myself in some Cloud providers, always hand in hand with A Cloud Guru.

Six Certs and Countless Work Assistance
What do you like best about the product?
A Cloud Guru constantly updates their courses for the changing climate in cloud computing. It has helped me achieve 6 AWS Certifications, a Security+ cert, and I am training for more. It also helps when I have to learn technology quickly like python, Powershell, and CloudFormation helper scripts. Now I am relearning Docker and Kubernetes through them.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the past, I wanted more labs. Now they have more than you can count.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning new languages and in-depth views at technologies like Kubernetes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with a beginner's course on a topic you don't know. So you can get a feel of how you learn with their site.
A Cloud Guru - the best provider of Cloud Education
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way A Cloud Guru treats training from a zero to hero attitude. They start as if you know nothing. This might seem tedious if you know the material already but is invaluable to those that need to truly start from nothing, or need a refresher on some points.
They just acquired Linux Academy so there is lots of new material, as well as a cloud playground, and more quizzes launched, in response to customer feedback.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I do NOT like. They have just acquired Linux Academy, with LOTS of new material.
They have focused on cloud PaaS, not on SaaS like Salesforce. Some might see that as a negative, but that is not their focus, so it makes sense.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have achieved a Cloud Practitioner certificate, and am using A Cloud Guru to work toward Google Associate Engineer certification now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not a site to learn programming. I would recommend another provider for that.
Robust and Holistic Cloud Learning Platform!
What do you like best about the product?
Acloud Guru has very comprehensive courses for various cloud native platforms. With recent merging of Linux Academy has made Acloud guru very robust learning platform for beginners as well as who seek for advanced cloud certifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
For additional platforms like Cloud sandboxes/playground, they charge additional fee to use that. but overall, sandboxes and playground labs are very useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Advancing my career with Cloud certifications. My company is adopting cloud and DevOps in a big way, and Acloud guru helping me to learn new cloud & Digital skills quickly. As a manager, I also promoted and funded this for my direct reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once again, Great platform for learning new cloud skills. Great courses , sandboxes and playground is awesome!

From Zero to Hero
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite aspect of A Cloud Guru is how they break down complicated subjects into less jargon filled and relatable terms that help me gain a deeper understanding of the intended functions behind Cloud Computing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something A Cloud Guru could improve on is more hands-on exercises. I know that this is an area they are currently improving on with the new platform and I look forward to exploring it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I came into A Cloud Guru during my senior year of college as a complete noob to cloud computing. Within two months I had received my Cloud Practitioner Certification and am now well on my way to the Solutions Architect. I know how to set up environments programatically , utilize AWS tools such as sagemaker for ML, and manage costs for storage and compute resources effectively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend choosing one of their specialized learning paths from the onset and sticking to it. You can get away with just doing their certification courses but you will gain a far deeper understanding by going above and beyond. I also recommend you watch some of their original weekly shows. I have gained so much useful knowledge on subjects such as AI and blockchain from this.
