Convenient for businesses who seek an organized learning experience
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features depend on the course. Some courses are informative, while others provide practical projects that you can modify to fit your needs. A specific project we are considering involves integrating new database technologies like Kafka into our existing systems. We'll analyze use cases to determine the best practices and apply these insights to our applications."
  • "The tool needs to improve courses on recent advancements."

What is our primary use case?

When exploring a new learning area, we use courses from Udemy Business. We attend the courses, analyze the data, and then try to apply what we have learned to our work. It's straightforward.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features depend on the course. Some courses are informative, while others provide practical projects that you can modify to fit your needs. A specific project we are considering involves integrating new database technologies like Kafka into our existing systems. We'll analyze use cases to determine the best practices and apply these insights to our applications.

The benefits include keeping everyone updated with new technologies and enabling quick learning. Having everything available in one platform is convenient, avoiding the need to search through multiple libraries or resources.

What needs improvement?

The tool needs to improve courses on recent advancements. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for a year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution's stability is good, and the modules follow a standard format. 

How are customer service and support?

Udemy Business' support is straightforward. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also use LinkedIn Learning. Udemy Business has technical content, while LinkedIn Learning has high-level content. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is generally straightforward. It's a platform where you can watch videos, and if you encounter any issues, you can directly contact the content creator. It is user-friendly. Some courses may offer better communication options than others.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment is quite good because you save time and have an organized learning experience. Compared to learning on your own, which can take a lot of time, this platform offers quick and effective learning, making it convenient for businesses.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have individual subscriptions for five to six users. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Udemy Business a nine out of ten. For individual learning purposes, you can subscribe to multiple subscriptions. Additionally, the platform offers packages suitable for companies.

When starting to use it, I advise searching for the most suitable trainer for your needs. With multiple courses available, finding an instructor who aligns with your learning style is crucial.

Simple application for whatever you want to learn

What is our primary use case?

Udemy is a simple application for whatever you want to learn, like data courses, etc.

What is most valuable?

The advantage is you can choose only what you need to learn.

What needs improvement?

The cost-quality balance seems subjective and flexible. Sometimes, courses are comprehensive, ranging from four to eight hours. However, not all courses require such extensive time commitments. Many could be condensed into just a couple of hours. Instead of elongating courses to cover every possible detail, a more efficient approach would be prioritizing the essential content within a shorter one-hour period.

The remaining hours could be optional supplementary material for those interested in a deeper dive. With the pace of technological advancements, continuous learning is essential, but lengthy courses spanning four to six hours may become outdated. To remain competitive, Udemy Business should consider shortening courses to less than an hour, focusing on critical points. People nowadays prefer concise, easily digestible information, as evidenced by the popularity of platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Long-form content, such as lengthy books or reviews, loses appeal due to time constraints. Similarly, in the tech sector, where time is scarce, learners seek quick, informative resources. By condensing courses, Udemy can cater to the modern learner's preference for efficiency and brevity.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Udemy Business for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution's stability as eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

There is no setup required.

What was our ROI?

I rate ROI as six out of ten.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Udemy Business because it's a perfect platform. However, it does have some shortcomings. Addressing those issues would improve the platform. Overall, it's a solid choice.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

    We use a business account, and several developers are learning there. This helps us upskill with the necessary skills to keep up with the market.

    I am happy with the tool's current features. The quality of the courses you choose depends on them, but in my experience, the courses we've selected have been excellent. I'd rate them nine out of ten in terms of quality.

    Easy to use, stable and there are a lot of courses
    Pros and Cons
    • "The initial setup is very easy."
    • "We can have something like an organization account. Even for small groups, if we can have some account where we can create a group. Right now I either purchase a course license or attend free courses and then send the link to my team members to join from their accounts. Instead of that, maybe we can have a corporate or group account where we can add people and assign courses to them."

    What is our primary use case?

    I have used Udemy for some certification courses. It's a good platform.

    How has it helped my organization?

    There are a lot of trainings, so finding the right one is up to the individual. I personally look at the clarity of content, reviews and ratings, and the price.

    As a platform, once you purchase a course, it's available anytime. There's also an app, but I don't use it. You can attend training anywhere and anytime and track your progress. 

    I use Udemy Business mainly for the Excel, office, and IT training resources they offer. I usually attend these courses on Udemy or sometimes other platforms as well.

    What is most valuable?

    The platform seems stable and there are a lot of courses. This is one of my checklist items for this month, to complete one training.

    What needs improvement?

    We can have something like an organization account. Even for small groups, if we can have some account where we can create a group. Right now I either purchase a course license or attend free courses and then send the link to my team members to join from their accounts. Instead of that, maybe we can have a corporate or group account where we can add people and assign courses to them. 

    We are not a big corporation with a big training budget, so for small companies like us, having a group account where we can assign courses and track progress would be very helpful.

    I would like to see Udemy Business to give better prices that match my learning objectives.

    One thing I've noticed is that if you stop a course halfway through and go back to it later, you have to manually restart. It would be helpful to have a restart option because otherwise, it always shows the previous progress percentage, even if you're starting from the beginning again. 

    For example, if I completed 80% of a course, took a break for six months, and then went back to it, it would still show as 80% complete, even though I'm starting from scratch. So, a restart option would be helpful.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using it for at least five years. I have taken several courses, but I haven't completed all of them. That is one problem I face.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have a small team. My team is based in India, and I have only three members in the UAE. Right now, I don't have any team collaboration features in Udemy.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I have used other solutions. Compared to Udemy, it had a lot of pop-ups and ads. I found Udemy better in terms of the platform. I also tried another one, but that was a long time ago.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is very easy. Udemy is like any other software.

    What was our ROI?

    The courses I took were worth it, but I can't exactly rate the value because I'm still halfway through the process.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I didn't take any licenses. I purchased courses.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. It is a good platform if you want to learn new things or upgrade your skills, especially for those who are working. It is a good platform to get these kinds of courses. It is available. 

    But again, it depends on each person, what they are searching for, and what they are looking for. In that way, it is good. I never faced any issues with the platform.
