Valuable but missing some depth
Pros

The videos were super engaging and easy to follow. Jumping in and getting started was also not a problem. The course gave a solid overview of key concepts and the hands-on labs were definitely a highlight as they really walk you through everything step by step. While the practice tests could have been better, the answer explanations were really helpful in clearing up any confusion after taking the course.

Cons

The course is good but it doesn't fully prepare you for the exam. It is not a huge issue, but just know that you'll need to check out the Official Cert Guide or other resources to ensure you've covered all the details. And the practice exams were just okay, not the best I've used. They also do not have any lab-style questions, which makes them feel pretty different from the actual exam.

Poor customer support
Pros

Their videos are well done, making it easy for us to follow along.

Cons

Their customer service is very poor. I had to email them five times before I even got a response and my issue still is not resolved. Also, they used to have a mobile app, but now it's gone, which is a major drawback.

Well-structured videos that explain concepts clearly
Pros

I liked that the videos were followed by test questions to help reinforce what I learned. It made it easier to absorb the material.

Cons

There's no mobile app and I really wish they had one. Also it would be great to have a way to review videos on the go while commuting.

Helps in improving my expertise
Pros

One thing I really like about CBT Nuggets is how they break down complex topics into short, digestible videos. Also, the content they provide is clear and easy to follow, which is a huge plus for me, especially since I'm working and have to make the most of my study time for certifications.

Cons

The cost is a bit higher than other learning platforms I have come across. So it might be the only thing that can become a dealbreaker for anyone on a tight budget.

Great teaching style with strong content
Pros

I love how easy it is to jump in and out of courses while working. Plus the bite sized lessons are just the right length, which allows me to do as many or as few as I want in one session. The labs are also great for helping me understand the trickier concepts.

Cons

Honestly, I have not found any major downsides except there is almost too much good content to get through!
