Featured Reviews

Justin Wheeler - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides high-quality course content to study different tools and technologies
The certification courses are typically divided into multiple sections. At the end of each section, there are exam tips for that section. I would like to go through all the different exam tips the day before my exam. It'd be nice if there were a way to go through all the different exam tips more easily. Right now, I have to find every video, play it for however long it is, skip ahead until I find the next one, and then play that one. The solution could include a playlist-type feature where I can select the ones I want to play. Having an exam tips section for the certification courses would be helpful. It would be good if there were a way to subscribe to new content when it comes out. Right now, I have to check the tool daily to see if they upload new content. It does not have a newsletter I could subscribe to and get updates on when new courses drop. I've also seen that A Cloud Guru is not as fast at dropping new courses and making updates as some competitors like Udemy. Cloud Academy normally updates for new exams faster than A Cloud Guru. However, A Cloud Guru's quality is higher. After acquiring A Cloud Guru, Pluralsight has imported all the A Cloud Guru courses into the Pluralsight mobile app. When I click on the A Cloud Guru videos on the Pluralsight mobile app, I'm not authorized to view them even though I have subscriptions to Pluralsight and A Cloud Guru. I'm not sure if that's an A Cloud Guru bug or something from Pluralsight's side. I haven't dug too much into it because I normally go on my computer and navigate to the A Cloud Guru website, which works fine. Pluralsight and A Cloud Guru offer many similar courses and overlapping content. It can be hard for a user to tell whether to go to Pluralsight or A Cloud Guru for a particular course or content. The acquisition also introduced some confusion.
