A Cloud Guru Reviews in April 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

I was happy with with Linux Academy but...

I was with Linux Academy and happy with that, after the ACG acquisition, most certification courses have been left outdated, not worth my money anymore. And now with the acquisition from Pluralsight, I don't see a future (in term of costs) for customers. I terminated my membership.

ACG keeps going downhill.

Overall ACG has gone downhill, in terms of its content, it has become outdated. Recently refreshed courses for GCP exclude case studies. For example, the Data Architect course refreshed in 2021, lacks case studies from 2021 and includes case studies no longer in the examination. Help pages are outdated, for example one page indicates if you require an invoice details to be changed, it can be reissued. Recently that is no longer the case since taxation happens based on country (though their ...

You're paying for someone to read a PowerPoint presentation to you

There are little to no practical examples compared to other certification training providers and it feels like the tutors are not really adding any additional value, they simply read off of the PowerPoint slides. It's like you're bored with hundreds of facts you need to memorize to pass the exam, instead of actually learning something and taking the exam as proof of what you've learned.

Poor delivery of the AWS SA course

I got my subscription for free through my employer. Initially, I was impressed with how it aggregated videos for AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C02 certification but quickly come to the realisation of how bad the teaching and content are. + Hands-on lab creates a test AWS account for you dynamically - Random unrelated videos, I've got a feeling these are legacy videos that they've just thrown in to beef up the course - Content is outdated - Ryan, the lecturer, is just ...

"Great learning platform"

What do you like best about A Cloud Guru? The AWS courses are an amazing learning path What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru? Nothing I have come across yet, only good things What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you? I use it to ramp up with technologies

Free plan is a SCAM. You cant view any course free.

I got mail from pluralsight that i can get free plan to view lot of cloud videos. I registered in the free plan and try to view some course about Azure and all of them if you try to start they ask you to upgrade and pay. Dont waste time on registering in free plan! dont make this kind of marketing and waste users time please!!

"Try to charge me after the account was closed"

What do you like best about A Cloud Guru? Training is good, and I was a member for 3 years + send about 50+ other students the same way. What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru? 1 - They resold my private information and spammed my email (they claim it was in their terms, but it was not when I signed up, and was never notified) 2 - As a result of the privacy breach, I ordered them to close my account and delete ALL information about me, as they are required by law. They closed the account ...

Not good for Azure Data Certifications

I subscribed for a year with ACG in order to prepare myself for the Azure Data Engineer certification (DP-200, DP-201, DP-203. The learning paths are incomplete and the test exam at the end does not prepare at all for the certification. I realized that when I bought test exams from other web sites like Udemy or SkillCertPro. I shoud have started with Microsoft Learning path instead of waste my time to the Guru Plateform. What is the most frusturating aspect of their website is the sale ...

"One of the best learning platform for cloud"

What do you like best about A Cloud Guru? Domain knowledge of trainers and breaking down concepts into easily understandable chunk so everyone xan digest them. What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru? Not enough real world implementation/examples What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using it to learn cloud to aquire new skills and also to keep updating them

"ACG Review"

What do you like best about A Cloud Guru? Great content. Very detailed and the information is explained very thoroughly. What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru? Some of the LABs are a bit fast...or I am just a slow user. Recommendations to others considering A Cloud Guru: Great courses. Worth the expense! What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you? I became an ACG subscriber to better prepare myself for AWS and Azure Certifications. They have been very helpful with ...
