Overall Satisfaction with A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy)

I currently use A Cloud Guru as an admin in my organization. My role requires me to enable ACG access to employees who wants to take up cloud courses through the platform. The role also requires to continue reviewing employees who have been provided access but were not able to access the platform yet. So I will have to reach out to them, and if no response is received, I will have to de-authorize their access. The platform is very easy to use, which makes me happy to manage my organization's work on it. With the help of reporting stuff in A Cloud Guru, it is very easy for me to make the statistics for my organization every month. I also manage to take some courses through A Cloud Guru, and it is very helpful. With my background in non-IT, it was a little difficult for me to start with the training material, but the content was very easy to understand. We can create study groups in ACG so that we can easily track their progress. We can create multiple groups with the same individuals or different individuals. Also, we can reuse the licenses.
  • Reports in A Cloud Guru is quite easy. We can simply track progress of individuals.
  • Wide range of materials in A Cloud Guru helps individuals to prepare for different certifications.
  • When Linux Academy was acquired by A Cloud Guru, it was mentioned that all the courses would be migrated to ACG from Linux. However, for a long time, it has not happened. So users from Linux were not aware and happy about this migration.

I don't think my organization has purchased premium support. But the support system A Cloud Guru has, which we are currently using is good for us.
At Accenture, there are multiple users who accesses A Cloud Guru on daily basis to complete their courses. At one point, A cloud guru was not working for these individuals and they were raising this issue with us. We had no idea about it. So we reached out to ACG support team and within some hours it was back on track. It was a quick resolution from the team which helped to regain access to course for our employees.
