ACG is the way to go to get the best value for your money
What do you like best?
ACG gives fun and sometimes quirky in depth technical knowledge of concepts and services of the major cloud providers. The current events shows for technology are pretty fantastic. The ease of use in the UI gives me a quick glance of what I need to finish when I login. The learning paths are a huge advantage against analysis paralysis giving people clear course work to work on without the distraction of what-if vs this is industry standard. The labs and sandboxes allow me to work within a single pane of glass without having to switch between providers and maintain multiple accounts across platforms.
What do you dislike?
Somewhat expensive buy high value for the constant updated information and news casts. Persistent login is a problem I see, I'd like to be able to login once and stay logged in for at least 30 days instead of verifying my session every time. I find that security feature annoying. The wealth of information can be daunting with the sheer enormity of content available it is hard to focus on mastery of a cloud platform or service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ACG is the best cloud education provider I've found. Many of the courses I've used here have led to more opportunities to grow within my organization leading to a direct correlation of more income.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The information provided to get certified is a good starting point for those that are new or lacking expertise in a certain service or Cloud Platform. The amount of information available and current podcasts put out by ACG is more than other online learning courses provide. ACG regularly updates their course work and gives you timelines of when the industry changes their certifications. You also get real work experienced teachers with practical advice and best practices.
