Cloud Academy Reviews

“Valuable learning on the platform”

Pros

Even with only a small portion of the content translated into Portuguese, it's still possible to learn and absorb the material well.

Cons

Navigation can feel a bit complicated in some courses.

“Proven helpful”

Pros

The learning paths have been really useful. Being able to set my own schedule and due dates helps me stay on track. The transcripts are a big plus too especially when I am not in the mood to sit through a video. I also appreciate how the courses are organized because the structure makes learning feel comfortable and manageable.

Cons

A few of the labs could be more concise and some of the courses feel outdated. I'd also love to have an option to save notes and video frames while watching, similar to what Coursera offers.

“strong labs, confusing navigation”

Pros

Cloud Academy's course content is high-quality and the labs are especially well done.

Cons

Getting around the website was pretty frustrating. After starting a video, I expected it to show up on the homepage when I returned but that didn't seem to happen.

“fun way to learn cloud”

Pros

This app makes it very easy to learn cloud solutions and other tech topics. Plus its simple setup also makes learning enjoyable.

Cons

At this point I honestly haven't run into any issues or complaints with the software.

“Helpful quiz rankings”

Pros

The quiz scores and ranking breakdown make it easier to see where improvement is needed.

Cons

The certificates don't have much industry recognition.

“practical training for busy professionals”

Pros

this tool has been a really valuable option for working professionals who don't have the time to attend formal classes. It includes practical examples and great practice exams which makes the learning experience even more useful.

Cons

It would be even better if the training scope were expanded to include programming as well.

“Great for labs and progress tracking”

Pros

One thing that keeps me engaged is the mix of quizzes and exams that let me check how much I have actually learned. The overall scoreboard is also a nice touch because it makes it simple to keep an eye on my progress. On top of that the labs are put together really well and feel very useful.

Cons

Some of the content falls a bit behind the latest software versions but that's also just the reality of how fast technology moves. It's a very minor issue overall.

“Makes learning simple”

Pros

Having video recordings along with the option to move backward, skip ahead and replay training whenever needed makes the learning process really convenient.

Cons

I haven't run into any problems and overall I find it very easy to use.

“All in one cloud learning hub”

Pros

Everything I need is gathered in one place. Whatever topic you can think of, there's a good chance you'll find it covered here.

Cons

Nothing major but I'd really value having more hands-on training sessions included.

“Get up-to-date training anywhere”

Pros

Cloud Academy has been wonderful to use. There's a huge amount of content available, it stays current and new material gets added every week. I also really appreciate that it works across multiple platforms so I can begin a course on my computer and pick it up later on my smartphone without any hassle.

Cons

My experience with the platform has been very positive and I haven't felt the need for any additional features or simplification.

“Great cloud learning tool”

Pros

There's a wide range of courses covering different platforms like AWS, Azure and Google. My favorite part is the labs, where you can actually practice things yourself for example on the AWS platform. I completed two learning tracks, Cloud Fundamentals and AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification Preparation and both of them were very interesting.

Cons

A few of the courses felt slightly outdated and longer than they needed to be. When a tutorial or lecture goes beyond an hour, it starts to feel too lengthy.

“Useful learning tool”

Pros

I like that there is a wide selection of courses covering a broad mix of technologies which makes the platform useful for learning across different areas. The guided learning paths are especially helpful when preparing for official AWS certifications.

Cons

The labs don't give enough context about why you're being asked to complete certain tasks so the purpose behind the exercises can feel unclear.

“hands-on cloud learning”

Pros

Getting to learn cloud technologies while also gaining real-time, practical experience makes this platform really valuable.

Cons

A few courses try to include too much at once and that made parts of them feel boring to me.

“Simple cloud learning platform”

Pros

The platform is user friendly and quick to use and the content is really strong across different cloud providers.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any real complaints.

“It is a decent tool”

Pros

One thing I really like about CloudAcademy was how it gives temporary access to AWS for hands-on practice.

Cons

To me some of the courses felt a bit longer than they needed to be.

“valuable content and clear lessons”

Pros

Cloud Academy offers a lot of useful content and the lessons are explained in a way that's simple to follow and understand.

Cons

I feel like the platform could be a little more user-friendly. Also, there aren't any written documents or PDFs included so when it's time to review the material, you end up having to look for resources online.

“hands-on tech learning”

Pros

It gives us a several ways to build tech skills, including demos and hands-on practice which makes the learning process engaging and useful.

Cons

At times a course can seem inconsistent because the instructor keeps changing.

“well-built labs and learning”

Pros

The platform is put together really well for building up your knowledge. Also the labs are organized nicely, quick to launch and easy to use. The external links to study resources are also very useful.

Cons

Certification prep is a bit weaker here. While the course does a very good job helping you expand your knowledge, it falls short if your main goal is certification since quite a few certification topics were left out.

“Great interface and labs”

Pros

Cloud Academys interface has been the standout for me. The course content is well presented and features like the leaderboard, the real-time lab environment in AWS Console, the consistent exam-style question patterns and the lab challenges all make the platform feel very well designed. On top of that the support team is incredibly responsive whenever you run into any issue which makes the whole experience even better. Really impressive overall and thank you so much.

Cons

After trying quite a few learning platforms, this one has easily been the best for me so far. The only thing I'd really love to see added is a brief PDF version of the lectures.

“Really like this tool”

Pros

One of the best parts for me is the labs. Having guided hands-on practice while still being free to try other things in the sandbox is incredibly valuable. It's also really helpful being able to see how different platforms handle the same task.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any complaints. I really enjoy the software overall including the way the UI is designed.
