Khan Academy is a non-profit organization headquartered in Palo Alto that offers free online course content for students.
CBT Nuggets is well suited for people who need to learn in nuggets/small packets, business professionals on the run, and those who need modular content for a wide range of topics. This is also suitable for people/employees looking for upskilling, certification exams, or business growth. It is also suited to large organizations that want to upskill their workforce. This might not be suited for people looking for supplementary content, or people attending regular in-class educational/training, sessions as this provides comprehensive content rather than supplementary content. Also not suited for those who are looking for written materials for training like books, notes, ppt, etc.
Khan Academy is a great supplement for things you already have learned, or as a mid-level course (versus a deep dive or high school/university level course). It is great for a paced learning environment if you want to casually refresh yourself on a subject or learn something new. I don't think this should be a replacement for structured learning, or if you struggle in self-paced learning environments. There have been times I would like to have been able to ask a professional (like an instructor) when struggling with a subtopic, which is possible in a classroom setting.
I've only had to seek support one time. There was a glitch in one of my lessons and I submitted an email. The glitch was fixed by support within a few days, but I would've liked for it to be faster. However, I don't have a big complaint there because it is a free service.
I personally found Khan Academy much better suited for adult learning of difficult or larger topics. Not so much for smaller changes that can be communicated via email. But it was more engaging and I found the information easier to digest. Change management can be tough but with the right tools it can be a breeze.
