Ensures students only have access while on campus but is expensive
It was limited because it was only to support a program. There was some benefits because we didn't have the infrastructure physically, so we would have to buy it. We didn't have to make an investment at the beginning. It has pay-as-you-use pricing. It was good for us. In this Business Intelligence and Analytics program, there are about 15 courses. In 10 courses, they use the cloud infrastructure, different software. They have MySQL database with lots of data. They have to do exercises and and analyze the the data. Basically, they had to do a lot of exercises regarding machine learning. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
