I personally like Udacity more than Coursera or Udemy. Its content is rich and very relevant to the industry standards.

Udacity is one of many online learning platforms our organization has utilized to train our workforce. Overall, I would say Udacity is most well-suited for technical training on marketing and IT teams. Courses are very specific and hands-on projects really help give this …

Udacity is great for in-depth learning about a topic that might have many sub-topics. Udemy is great for learning a specific language, tool, or framework.

I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

Chose Udacity
Udacity's has more structured learning, practice, and projects. And, that's lacking in Lynda. Udacity uses Slack channel to strengthen the community. And, this is lacking in Coursera.
Chose Udacity
I have taken courses on Udemy and Pluralsight also. Good systems, but I just like Udacity better. They challenge me more in figuring out how to code something instead of just showing me how someone would code something. I learn better that way.

Udacity is great for working professionals who want to continue their education by learning relevant technical job skills. The platform offers a well-produced content library with new courses added regularly. Overall, Udacity is best suited for individuals who need to gain technical industry experience and certifications in order to better perform in their workplaces. Udacity is a very valuable resource, however, I would not recommend it for all organizations - as there are more cost-friendly options on the market.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Practical exercises and projects definitely helps you understand how you may apply the skills and knowledge in real-world projects.
  • Strong Community where people are generally friendly and helpful for answering questions. Udacity has also made an effort to encourage engagement between all the people who are taking the same courses.
  • You can watch a video, access reading materials and attempt an exercise without leaving the Udacity environment which is definitely a plus for me.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Organization of courses is not very user-friendly, especially the sequence of courses to take should be more elucidated for a beginner.
  • There are some courses which are completely tool based on using Alteryx. Instead, more focus on concepts can be given.
  • The depth of the courses is another issue. The free courses are good for beginners but not to go to the next level.
  • Nanodegree programs can be better priced.

For the most part, site usability is great. I would say the only shortcoming from my end was when I needed support. Support responses were typically very slow, the few times I needed it.

I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

Skillsoft has been utilized and powered by enterprise organizations while Udacity is more of a side benefit and not requiring much commitment to signup for. Skillsoft has more material in terms of e-books and videos to go through while Udacity is more to use while someone is ready and have been familiar with the topic already. We have Udacity a lot due to efficiency in terms of getting set up right away on individual use.

  • Taking the courses I took allowed me to list skills on my resume that have opened up conversations on jobs where previously I could not even have a discussion.
