Chose Microsoft Hands-on Labs
I think Udemy is really superior as a platform, people create super high quality courses that get employees up to speed in days.
The platform has a web and mobile app and has taking notes functionality that can be exported.

The Microsoft Hands-on Labs were great for training when working alongside an instructor. They would show things on their screen, and I would work alongside with a real environment. Being able to actually use the environment and interact with it was more preferable than just a straight lecture. It allowed me hands-on practice.

  • Copying and pasting can be clunky
  • Sometimes the instructions are not accurate
  • For some Microsoft tools, it requires you to create a temporary account, which takes some time and is time-consuming
  • Have to remember to save or you will lose your environment
  • May not be the most user-friendly to initially start

Azure Virtual Desktop is an excellent tool for extending your existing infrastructure to the cloud and providing the same experience to users in both on-premises and virtual environments. Azure Lab Services, with its quicker setup time, and lack of connection to existing domains provides the ability to quickly spin up virtual environments for use for experimentation, learning, or delivering production resources.

  • I think it has a positive impact in having a platform to train employees
  • I don't think the cost might be worth it given that the content is super dry
