    If your organization is technical-based and offers its employees different online courses to enhance their knowledge, then A Cloud Guru will be perfect for you. There are multiple courses available from different cloud platforms. The platform is easy to use and navigate and does not require much knowledge. Even if you do not have basic technical knowledge, the courses available in A Cloud Guru are designed in such a manner that a non-technical person will understand the concept easily.

    When CodeMonkey works really well:


    Introducing coding: It’s great for beginners because students learn real coding concepts through simple game challenges.


    Self-paced learning: Students can move at their own speed, which helps when you have a mix of fast learners and students who need more time.


    Building problem-solving skills: The puzzles require students to test ideas, debug mistakes, and try different solutions.
    When it’s less appropriate: Limited opportunities for advanced coding: Students who already know a lot of programming may find the early levels too simple.

    • More material on other cloud providers GCP, Azure, Huawei.
    • Extend the sandboxes to other cloud providers not only AWS.
    • Include more material for non-technical people, sometimes the sales teams are completely lost in the platform but they would like to learn about it.

    The main differentiator was the contents as we were interested in a cloud platform other similar platforms did not have the below: it is very good to establish cloud learning development plans and then track them and manage them for the team. The platform supports learning tracks, exams, and sandboxes with all major cloud providers guarantees that you don't get an accidental charge as a result of [the] testing and exploring the cloud

    Codemonkey made learning easy and fun. I think it has a leg up on the other software mentioned because it really tries to find a fun way to associate learning a difficult topic with a fun tutorial. The other software options were far more costly than Codemonkey, which makes this an even bigger win.

    • Positive - Allowing our staff to enhance their skills.
    • Positive - Definitely a long-term ROI in that we will not have to outsource our coding to 3rd parties.
    • Negative - I feel that using it can definitely be limiting with how you learn away from the product.
