    CodeMonkey
    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.

    The onboarding process has been quite productive throughout with the best team. The customer support team is able and ever on alert when requested to assist. It has simple user interface which is not the case with other similar platforms. The training modules are easy to understand and put into practice. It meets the set threshold and complies with company principals.

    • Questions! The Database/site was updated, and I was no longer able to access the questions and choose specific topics to study from
    • There were two CISSP courses to watch videos, I would remove the oldest
    • Put an emphasis that users have a years membership after completing a boot camp

    Because the skills learned from the course have proven to be beneficial in the day-to-day tasks that I typically perform. They are either directly related to or at the very least a complementary skill set that allows me to perform my duties overall in a more beneficial way to the people that I support.

    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.

    I am in cyber security and this domain required me to do some internationally recognized certifications and infosec skills had helped in clearing these certifications. Their training instructors was awesome and practice questions quality was great. With the help of infosec skill i had cleared CISSP and CRISC exam. I experience, Cybrary on the other hand has less certifications preparation options as compared to infosec skills

    Return on Investment
    CodeMonkey
    • 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.

    • After my courses, I was able to obtain my CCNA (passed [on] first attempt) and my CCNP (passed [on] second attempt). This is far better than the average passing rate.
    • Professionally, I [got] a new job as a network engineer and then promoted to a Network Engineer II after completing my CCNP. I have seen a 40% salary increase over the last three years.
