A Cloud Guru (discontinued) vs. Domestika

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.

Domestika is very well-suited to the business and creative worlds today. They offer relevant, good quality courses.. Why they've chosen to use fraudulent business practices doesn't make any sense to me since they have a good product.

• The team at A Cloud Guru is excellent at responding to user feedback that is submitted through their website.
• The content created is well organized and aligns to certification paths.
• The content is accessible on mobile and web platforms, which is great for learning on the go.

• Their art videos are exceptional.
• Their marketing courses are relevant and contain useful content.
• Their AI courses are also informative.

• 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.

• They have fraudulent business practices:
• I canceled my subscription after the first year. I have an email that my subscription was cancelled, my account also says the subscription was canceled, yet they charged me $349 for renewal.
• I originally paid for a one-year subscription via PayPal. Although I canceled the renewal before the term ended, the company bypassed my PayPal account entirely and charged my linked credit card directly for a second year. Because this transaction was processed outside of PayPal’s system, PayPal has no record of the charge and cannot assist with a dispute. I am reaching out to resolve this unauthorized direct charge immediately.
• They make it difficult to connect with customer service. It sends you to statements that basically say they don't issue refunds. It's very dicey how this is set up.

I am giving them a 1. I can't get past the fact that they charged me for a second year even though I didn't renew my subscription. I have access to all the classes I purchased, and that's all I need. I can't give you any more positive feedback than I have because I'm so disappointed in how they handle customer service. Thousands of people have had the same experience.

The support team of A Cloud Guru is quite quick. There are scenarios where A Cloud Guru was not working in my organization. We reached out to their support team and they quickly resolved the issue. Also, if any individual is facing issues accessing A Cloud Guru, their support team is quick to resolve the issue.

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

• There's excitement around upcoming changes to our technology instead of fear we have seen in the past.
• We feel confident we will be able to deliver these new technologies - although we are at the start of our journey.

• I am an entrepreneur and need a wide range of business skills; their courses are well-suited to my needs.
• I found that the courses addressed my social media, AI, and content creation concerns.
• I'm looking forward to all the classes I purchased. It's everything I need in one place.
