CBT Nuggets vs. HubSpot Academy

Many Microsoft servers and Cisco networking topics are covered which suits me best. Some IT topics are not covered as opposed to other training platforms. Things that require a hands-on lab can be difficult to simulate as well.

[HubSpot Academy is] just a great tool for everyone who wants to grow at their Marketing, Sales, or customer success career. Their courses are very detailed in information, their teachers are the best in the industry, and it's just easy to take some time and learn. I have enjoyed it a lot.

• I've had trouble with following along with some of the lab exercises.

For HubSpot Academy's usability, I rate it a 9 because it is very simple and easy to use. HubSpot Academy is very user friendly. You can pick a category like "email marketing" then you will have an intro video, follow up detail videos, practice quizzes, interactive practices, and some sections have a certification quiz at the end. It is very easy to navigate sections. The only reason I rate the usability a 9 instead of a 10 is because sometimes HubSpot Academy does not register the interactive practices.

The major plus side of CBT Nuggets is in its
core feature itself. It provides content in a byte-size format (nuggets)
joining all create a learning package. Videos are arranged in a logical and
connected manner yet if one needs to skip some parts which
they already know, they have the freedom to do so without losing the
engagement. A simple and clean interface designed to maximize the learning
experience is better for employees or part-time learners. As compared to degrees
it has virtual labs for various courses. While AWS Self-Paced Labs are focused
on cloud computing and AWS, CBT Nuggets spread its labs across most of the
IT Domains. Overall, the experience is
good to have a comprehensive training tool with usage reporting and learners’
management.

HubSpot Academy is great for training on the HubSpot CRM. Like stated in pervious questions, it is very simple and easy to use. It is the best way to train for using HubSpot because there are videos and practices for every topic like email marketing, workflows, etc. I personally think HubSpot is much more user friendly than Salesforce. However, we do use both and like both for different reasons but I think HubSpot is simpler to use.
