Verified User Manager Chose A Cloud Guru (discontinued) I have used both A Cloud Guru and Udemy for Business and I feel A Cloud Guru does a better job. With Udemy you have to purchase your modules. With A Cloud Guru you get everything in one place. This work[s] better for me as I can move from one certification to the next. Incentivized Helpful? LQ Leo Quiroa Machine Learning Engineer Chose A Cloud Guru (discontinued) Compared to O'Reilly in general, the ACG [A Cloud Guru] content is more specific to AWS and with more examples and real-world use cases. O'Reilly is broader in terms of technologies you can learn, but none of them go deep into the details. Another thing is that O'Reilly focuses … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose A Cloud Guru (discontinued) Cantrill.io gives far more content and lab work to build skills within the certification boundaries. If there was a similar vendor for both Azure and Google, we would have considered going with targeted vendor training vs a generalized provider. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose A Cloud Guru (discontinued) Course choice is much smaller than Udemy but the quality feels a lot higher.

Verified User Engineer Chose A Cloud Guru (discontinued) A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy) was the only platform we evaluated for the vast majority of our cloud training, however we have found other providers are better in certain areas and use them to supplement A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy).
