365 Data Science vs. Microsoft Hands-on Labs

From a continuous program curriculum to talented instructor team and visionary animators, this program is the best learning solution for beginner data scientists.

The Microsoft Hands-on Labs were great for training when working alongside an instructor. They would show things on their screen, and I would work alongside with a real environment. Being able to actually use the environment and interact with it was more preferable than just a straight lecture. It allowed me hands-on practice.

• There was no coding in the browser supported. I know that other platforms offer this, but the 365 Team suggested that having all files on your PC resembles real-life coding much better.

• Copying and pasting can be clunky
• Sometimes the instructions are not accurate
• For some Microsoft tools, it requires you to create a temporary account, which takes some time and is time-consuming
• Have to remember to save or you will lose your environment
• May not be the most user-friendly to initially start

Their support is very friendly and it answered all my inquiries in a timely manner.

I've tried several alternatives, but 365 Data Science really provides the whole package.

I think Udemy is really superior as a platform, people create super high quality courses that get employees up to speed in days. The platform has a web and mobile app and has taking notes functionality that can be exported

Incentivized

• We have not had the chance to measure that.

• I think it has a positive impact in having a platform to train employees
• I don't think the cost might be worth it given that the content is super dry
