A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy) vs. Lalilo by Renaissance

If your organization is technical-based and offers its employees different online courses to enhance their knowledge, then A Cloud Guru will be perfect for you. There are multiple courses available from different cloud platforms. The platform is easy to use and navigate and does not require much knowledge. Even if you do not have basic technical knowledge, the courses available in A Cloud Guru are designed in such a manner that a non-technical person will understand the concept easily.

Given students whose behaviors can affect their ability to learn, Lalilo is well suited because it allows students to begin at their just right level and move ahead at their own pace. The fun factor is high enough that students stay engaged, even when they might not do so on other learning platforms. Students also enjoy comparing their badges, so for students who are motivated by competition with their friends, this works in their favor.

I gave Lalilo this rating, because my students were all able to get logged into the program and get started on their own, no matter their age. I like the reports that are available. They are tailored to individual student performance, so I can see what my students are capable of doing and what they still need help with.

The support team of A Cloud Guru is quite quick. There are scenarios where A Cloud Guru was not working in my organization. We reached out to their support team and they quickly resolved the issue. Also, if any individual is facing issues accessing A Cloud Guru, their support team is quick to resolve the issue.

The main differentiator was the contents as we were interested in a cloud platform other similar platforms did not have the below: it is very good to establish cloud learning development plans and then track them and manage them for the team. The platform supports learning tracks, exams, and sandboxes with all major cloud providers guarantees that you don't get an accidental charge as a result of [the] testing and exploring the cloud

Lalilo works right along side the Star assessments. As my students progress through the lessons, they are also scoring better on their Star tests. I would love to access the complete version, so I can see the complete reports. I need to find a way to get help in funding this.

• Engagement scores around investment in L&D have increased.
• There's excitement around upcoming changes to our technology instead of fear we have seen in the past.
• We feel confident we will be able to deliver these new technologies - although we are at the start of our journey.

• I don't have the complete version. I love how much I can do with the free version. My students love learning through Lalilo.
• I use this product periodically instead of daily or weekly. It is a great resource for my students, especially one who is in second grade and cannot even name all of the letters. He worked with Lalilo while I still was able to work with him and I could see him gaining knowledge as he was completing the activities. At first, he doesn't understand the concept being taught. It only takes a couple of minutes for him to learn the concept and pass the level to progress to the next.
