A Cloud Guru Reviews

Initially, I used the solution to learn Linux, shell scripting, and more about Ansible and DevOps. Then, I moved to learn about cloud technologies, like Microsoft Azure. To some extent, I have been using it for AWS, but I have been able to learn a lot about Azure.

I'm using what I learned from the solution in my day-to-day activities. It is helping me understand the technologies I'm working on in my current job role. It has also helped me to progress in my career and switch to a new company a few years back.

The solution's most valuable feature is the hands-on experience it provides through very good labs. The labs provide the description and environment for the experiments.

I switched from A Cloud Guru to a different learning platform because some things were better in other subscriptions, especially Ansible. Most of the tutorial contents in A Cloud Guru are very lengthy. It should be precise and up-to-date. Other tools and technologies like Terraform and Docker were missing in A Cloud Guru when I switched to a different learning platform.

I have been using A Cloud Guru for more than three years.

I don't remember having any stability issues because most resources are in the cloud. A Cloud Guru has been providing restricted access to the cloud directly. So, 99%, there won't be any problem.

A Cloud Guru is a scalable solution.

The solution's initial setup is easy. There is nothing to deploy. Once someone has bought the subscription, everything is available in the cloud in the portal. You just have to click on that, and it will provide a guide on how to log in to a particular resource.

The solution’s pricing is moderate.

The solution's tutorial is more extensive. It includes a hands-on lab with a problem description and hints on how to solve it step by step. To some extent, those hints are also given on the command line. This really helps to recall and clarify the concept of something we want to learn. A Cloud Guru provides a timeboxed lab, which is very interactive.

I think anyone can use the solution. Even beginners can also start learning things using A Cloud Guru. A Cloud Guru is a very good learning platform for cloud technologies like Azure, AWS, or Google.

I would recommend the solution to users who want to learn and gain practical experience in cloud computing as cloud engineers. It is a good tool for learning about Azure, AWS, and GCP.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the platform mostly for learning, specifically for AWS certifications and other miscellaneous topics such as Linux, Kubernetes, and DevOps technologies.

The instructors on the platform are excellent and provide great value in their teaching.

The product's hands-on labs could be more focused and precise. Instead of covering a broad section of the exam and then offering labs, it would be better to provide targeted exercises right after the relevant lecture, such as creating an EC2 instance. It would prevent the need to recall and review large sections, as the more focused approach would reinforce learning more effectively.

I have been using A Cloud Guru primarily for learning since 2019.

The product is very reliable, and the company takes pride in its serverless architecture, which it often mentions during lectures. I have rarely encountered any glitches or problems.

I rate the stability eight. However, there is always room for improvement.

The product is easily scalable in terms of the number of users and data it can handle. I rate the scalability a nine. 

The platform has an active forum for every lecture, where instructors respond to questions. Most queries can be resolved there, so there's rarely a need to contact the support team unless it's for billing or management issues.

There is no need to deploy anything, which is a great advantage. The product offers sandbox environments online, accessible with a single click. You don't need to worry about provisioning or having a high-spec laptop; you only need a browser to access the site.

The solution is worthwhile, especially if you want to invest in yourself. The certifications you can earn are industry-recognized, and achieving them can make you stand out in your career.

When I initially subscribed to the solution, the cost was around $25 per month. Later, they introduced different plans, such as a pro plan, which raised the price to $39. However, as a legacy subscriber, I continued paying the original price. Currently, I use the business account provided by my employer, so I am not directly involved with the billing.

The platform is user-friendly and can be used by absolute beginners and more advanced users.

Initially, it did not have hands-on labs, but they have implemented the feature and are continuously evolving. While it is not as advanced as other platforms like CodeCloud, they have made significant progress.

I always recommend it to others, especially those looking for certifications. I believe in learning from different sources and using multiple parallel platforms, including CodeCloud and Udemy. 

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to set up VCP-DCV in the cloud, primarily for certification.

A Cloud Guru has a very easy format and is very informative. The labs are excellent.

The only hard part sometimes is for people to log in. You must know how to log in to the actual environment, but that's pretty easy. Once you figure that out, it's pretty simple. You need some technical knowledge, but minimal.

I have been using A Cloud Guru for four years.

It has never let me down, even in low bandwidth, it works well.

I never had to scale the product, so I don’t know how it will work.

I have used the Pluralsight platform, which is less intuitive than A Cloud Guru. Overall, it is a better platform, flawless for training and interaction.

The first time I signed up, I paid the full price, then it was Black Friday or Cyber Monday, I got 50% discount. I'm locked in half price forever. It costs 250$ per year.

I mentor people in Canada who are coming here to do cybersecurity. I recommend signing up for the course to everyone. It allows you to play in a real environment. If you log into the real AWS and you play, you're going to pay because there are certain things to pay for. You can spend all day playing and not pay a penny.

I make sure to take the introductory courses before you try the advanced courses. If you try and go too far in the advanced courses, you'll get lost, and the labs will get complicated for you. It's best to take A Cloud. It tells you it's really good. It tells you steps one, step two, and step three. If you do step one first, the next lab makes more sense than just trying to do something you can't do.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The platform serves as an essential tool for various purposes such as lab exercises, study, and exploring different user interfaces to understand system building and viability testing. It offers a range of labs across AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud platforms, enabling hands-on experience in scaling, deploying, storing, and distributing information across different regions. This has been invaluable for understanding cloud technologies and optimizing platform digitization within my organization.

The hands-on labs are particularly valuable due to their practical approach and ease of use. They provide real-world scenarios and are complemented by a 24/7 backend support team that assists in data management and automation. Additionally, the integration of AI with cloud technologies enhances our understanding and application of automation within cloud environments.

If I were to suggest improvements for Cloud Guru, I would appreciate more interactive features where users can receive immediate feedback on their actions. This could include real-time responses to errors, personalized guidance on improvement areas, and best practice recommendations.

I've been using A Cloud Guru for about a year now.

Positive

I didn't personally handle the setup, the platform's ease of use suggests it was straightforward to implement.

The platform has significantly enhanced my understanding of cloud technologies and their practical benefits. It has streamlined my knowledge of cloud migration strategies, particularly in managing public and private cloud environments and hybrid setups. It offers diverse features tailored to cloud services, such as AWS and Google Cloud. For instance, I focused on AWS S3 storage and Google's data engineering tools. This exposure has allowed me to explore various scenarios, from building data warehouses to leveraging analytics for insightful reporting.

It is reliable in terms of stability and scalability. Maintaining the current standards is essential for ensuring sustainability. The platform remains stable and dependable as long as it continues to uphold its quality.

I highly recommend it to companies aiming to enhance employee education. It is an ideal tool for empowering staff through comprehensive cloud and AI education. As I prepare to subscribe to empower my team, I encourage other enterprises to explore this cloud portal. It's invaluable for improving workforce skills in cloud computing and understanding essential tools like cloud security.

I rate it a ten.

I worked with the tool for about two years. 

I haven't encountered any bugs or breakdowns while using the tool. 

Our IT staff used to manage any issues with the product. 

The initial setup and deployment had some challenges, mostly related to my organization's systems rather than A Cloud Guru. At first, we used Okta for single sign-on, which was easy. When the organization switched to using Google for authentication, there was a transition period where I had trouble logging in and viewing my progress. The IT staff at my organization eventually resolved these issues. I don't blame A Cloud Guru for these problems, as they seemed more related to my company's setup.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. 

We use the tool for SaaS learning. It helps me with my learning path.

A Cloud Guru has labs; we don't have to create them. It helps to be trained on multiple topics.
