Alternatives Considered

We have not evaluated any other providers besides ACG as the original offer we got quite a few years ago was so nicely matching and working for us. Therefore we did not have any requirements to look at any other providers besides ACG. Commercially we have not yet seen any other comparable solution which would get close to ACG.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall, training and education are very advanced and help get employees trained. ACG is very good on that part. It can be optimized for the final exam preparation, especially for newer exams. The test quizzes and prep exams are a bit outdated sometimes. The Sandboxes are very good and a solid starting point, but they still should be a bit more integrated into the actual training lectures for guide hands-on training.
