Senior Software Engineer at WorldPay US
Hands-on labs and quizzes improve cloud certification skills effectively
The practical labs of A Cloud Guru are most useful; after each module or the video, the practical labs are pretty useful because they give a total experience of real AWS console to practice, and we can get our concepts clear with hands-on. Later onwards, the MCQ objective tests and quizzes make us remember the minute things, how we have prepared, and up to which mark we are prepared for this topic; those features are cool. The social learning aspect of A Cloud Guru was quite effective because we have direct links to share the topics or modules from A Cloud Guru. Overall, I could say A Cloud Guru was a good platform for me to learn AWS because to directly learn on your own, it takes time. Even to collect the topics, modules, and to make the hands-on, we should enroll and create a freebie account on AWS and then utilize it with some free trials only. There, we cannot explore each feature of the AWS service that we want to learn to get our topics clear, so A Cloud Guru has made an impact overall by providing the cloud labs, which help, under its registration, to learn each AWS service with hands-on modules and demos.

Senior Manager II, Learning operations and multi media at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Its pricing is competitive, but the auto-assign feature that is most valuable for us hasn't been working for the last year and a half
We have a complex implementation because we have an outsourced population of over 50% of our user base. So, we have a lot of challenges. We have no HCM for user data. We have to create our own custom metadata to manage everything, and there are lots of logistical challenges in terms of implementation. If you have to go through and create a custom metadata system, as we did, and stand up all these other systems, it would take three to six months. If you have a human capital management system that's ready to go and you have all your data in the right segments and whatnot, it could be done in one to three months. In terms of maintenance, we recently re-scoped this to where we have one person that oversees the LMS as a whole, and then we have two administrators that carry out the tactical task, such as auto enrollments, user creations, and all other audit components. We also have a rotational employee that does audits on the LMS to make sure everything is working correctly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The content is engaging."
"A Cloud Guru offers courses for any industry. It is a user-friendly platform that offers courses in Excel, Python, C#, and more."
"A Cloud Guru has made an impact overall by providing the cloud labs, which help, under its registration, to learn each AWS service with hands-on modules and demos."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the hands-on experience it provides through very good labs."
"A Cloud Guru's courses are of really high quality."
"The content is very easy to understand because they break it down in a way that anyone can understand."
"What I appreciate most about A Cloud Guru is that we have many lessons and practice opportunities, with a user-friendly interface that allows us to practice cloud technologies."
"The platform is user-friendly and can be used by absolute beginners and more advanced users."
"As a user and administrator, I think Content Author is valuable because it removes the need for a third-party solution to create content in the best way possible."
"This is a very scalable solution, as we had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"Litmos has an excellent user interface, it's well designed and intuitive, and it also has a great content engine."
"Its user interface is quite good, the platform is quite user-friendly, and the UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"The pricing is really good; its pricing is probably the most competitive I've seen for an LMS."
"This complete product is highly scalable, as licensing is not based on the total number of users on the system but rather only on active users, so Litmos only charges for the number of users engaged in training, which is what makes this solution ideal for scale."
"Litmos has an excellent user interface. It's well designed and intuitive. It also has a great content engine. I'm one of the admins, so I create content in the system and use that to produce courses. We make our own training content and credit records. They recently added a new feature called the Course Content Creator, and I'm a big fan. I also like that Litmos lets you record online and face-to-face training so you can create what they call Instructor-led Training Events (ILT)."
 

Cons

"A Cloud Guru needs to offer more practical quizzes."
"Sometimes it gets stuck or takes time to execute; if that could be sped up, that would be the only improvement needed."
"It would be better if the product provided one-on-one tutoring or office hours for certain products."
"I would appreciate more interactive features where users can receive immediate feedback on their actions."
"Given that these courses are very specific and tailored to cloud, I assume the pricing might be somewhat higher, which could make it challenging for every company to invest in them."
"There is room for improvement in the portal. It can be more user-friendly."
"As people's maturity increases, there are areas that can be improved in terms of the learning paths."
"Most of the tutorial contents in A Cloud Guru are very lengthy."
"The security of the SAP Litmos is not up to the standard of the organizations because if you are hosting your content in SAP Litmos or any other LMS, then one of the major concerns for the company is to secure their training data to prevent the student from copying it."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved as they are not of the same standard and detail as those seen in Power BI. The graphics for the reporting could also be improved."
"One feature that a few of my clients have been requesting is CPD. We should be able to capture CPD points for users within the system to be able to report on those."
"The reporting could be improved. When we first subscribed to Litmos, it had a great reporting engine, but SAP altered it. Some of the changes have reduced the ability to extract reports from it. It's excellent for live data, but it can be tricky when I want to get a report."
"The reporting function of SAP Litmos needs major improvements. The reports are not at par with other solutions on the market. It's not user-friendly or effective reporting which we can retrieve from other places."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"The rules are not very flexible in terms of administration. They have a predefined system with three standard rules that cannot be customized, modified, added, or removed."
"The solution lacks a variety of language options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"A Cloud Guru is more expensive than other options on the market."
"The solution's cloud content is expensive. Compared to other vendors, it is expensive."
"You need an annual license to use the platform. Its pricing is fine—good knowledge comes at a price—and doesn't include any extra costs."
"The pricing is good compared to other premium e-learning platforms."
"It is priced per user license."
"The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."
"I don't know what the pricing model is at this point in time. I'm a consultant. The organizations that have purchased Litmos engage me to help them implement it, or Litmos engage me to be their external learning management system administrator. So, I don't see the rates, but based on the general comments that I've heard, it seems cost-effective and competitive with its competitors."
"When we first purchased our subscription, we underestimated how many people we would have within a billing period. We had to adjust that in the first six months. I can't remember the exact numbers, but they charge a per user rate for a certain number, and you get a discount as the number of users goes up. It scales, which is a fairly reasonable way to build a pricing model."
"If I have a domain and I want to link my custom domain to SAP Litmos, and if I want to remove the branding of the SAP Litmos, then they charge a large amount for it. It's not included in your subscription plan which we have purchased from them. In the last two to three years, we have never bought the custom domain. We have never linked our custom domain to SAP Litmos. The barrier for us is the high pricing. It is not a reasonable price."
"This solution comes at a high price point. We also paid $4500 for a migration specialist from Litmos to assist in moving our content over. You are billed every month based on the number of users who have logged in and completed training."
"There are three different pricing models. One is only to use the platform and to add your own learning material. The second plan includes the learning management system plus 2000 plus pre built courses on different areas including leadership, software skills, HR and IT related training. The third package allows you to integrate the system with tools such Salesforce or other CRMs."
"I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
