This is the worst online course I have seen on Coursera platform. Boring, tedious, infested by marketing duckspeak. The "instructor" is just a talking head who reads aloud MS sales materials and Microsoft Learn web pages from a teleprompter. The "free sandbox" which is supposed to be used to do the assignments is not working. The subtitles to the videos are auto-generated and have not been edited which makes it difficult to follow the explanations. The graphics in videos is merely decorative and does not help to understand anything. There is a lot of stuff to process and yet you would barely remember anything upon finishing this course. I can clearly envisage how somewhere deep within the rusty cogs of Microsofts bureaucratic machine some unenthusiactic middle manager charged some unqualified and burnt-out grunts with creating this "course" and absolutely no one involved gave a hoot about the result.

Useless, it's an advertising, not an education.

The course requires you to make a "FREE" account to access the Azure services. This "FREE" account does not accept "PREPAID" creditcards for some god forsaken reason, I've paid a month of training on Coursera to access a course that I can't continue or complete if I DONT HAVE A CREDIT CARD. I cannot create the required account without an ACTUAL credit card, cannot complete the tasks and therby finish this course. I think this is actively discriminating and puts me off this course tremendously

The course does a great job of going over Azure capacities with a case study. The course is easy to follow and quizzes useful.

This course is a mess. Clearly a text to speech to text device was used to transcribe the notes of each model. The main instructor speaks very fast and often times there is little or no breath between concepts. The time to digest the material does not seem to be enough. This module needs to be looked over and broken down to allow for a much clearer presentation.

Great introduction to Azure Cloud services. Highly recommend taking this course to get introduction to Azure Cloud services

While I’m grateful for the course, it was very hard keeping up with the video commentary from week two onwards, commentary was too fast , difficult to understand concepts as they are not explained , and there is far too much information for beginners . it does indeed sound like a  hard sell to prospective product buyers , rather than a real course to learn the technology. Impossible to learn concepts with this, much much more in-depth reading needed with examples , to actually pass this exam . the text does not actually display what the instructor is saying  for example DNS services is written as DNA , that’s just one example , so a beginner will have an issue here. If I paid for this course I will not be happy  the content is just not enough . you can pass the quiz as multiple tires are given , I passed but I will have to  go through it again and find more material before I start the next course

Better watch some videos on youtube. Do not waste your time and money here. Thank me later.

I would not recommend paying specifically for this course.

It is generally useful but the course needs to be updated to reflect the changes made by Microsoft to the AZ-900 exam in May 2022. The 50% discount for the exam is no longer available  (since over a year according to comments in the discussion forum). The same content is available for free (and up to date) on the Microsoft learn website.

A very good course to help you understand the basic concepts of Azure. I recommend this course to anyone who want to understand the basic fundamentals of Microsoft Azure. It's a good start to see if this is something you want to pursue.

Good preparation. I passed the exam.

I thought the instructor was particularly good. I assume she's an actress just reading a script, but I enjoyed her presentation.

This course is more like a marketing series than cloud computing concepts, I recommend it if and only if you have previous knowledge of the cloud concepts and want to get a job using Azure only

Concepts are explained very nicely so that the learner evinces keen interest in the subject. The instructors and content creators took lot of efforts so that the learners can learn effortlessly.

This course does a great job of going over Azure Cloud Services with case study. I will recommend this course to everyone who is just starting off with Azure & Cloud.

Immensely helped to get foundational introduction to Azure fundamentals

At times I felt too much information was presented and could have been presented in separate sections.

not for the beginners

Be mindful that the additional readings are much, much longer than 10 minutes. They are probably longer than the course content intself.

This core concepts are explained very well and it helps a lot to understand the basics on AZURE

It was very good just the transcript and subtitles are wrong few times

Good topic selection, more exercises would be helpful.

more quizzes and labs please

Not great. The "instructor" is reading from a script. Probably has no idea what any of it means.

The course also suffers from a lack of attention to detail. For example, the mid-video quizzes pop up before the subject matter is even covered.

It's an ok way to get a broad overview of Azure, but its certainly not inspiring or engaging. I'll be using Microsoft Learn to cover the remainig material.

It was ok.

Only give this 2 stars. Whilst the presentations are really clear and informative, the exercises have instructions that are incomplete and incorrect. They rely on a sandbox environment and these are not readily available. For people like me who learn by doing, these courses do not provide the hands on exeperience I need. As a result the courses (same for other Azure courses) are dull and boring. I suspect Microsoft would prefer us to use the free training provided through it's own websites rather than Coursera. I've found this course to be very lacking compared with Google, Amazon and IBM skillshare.
