Good for getting an overview, but the course content is buggy. It might have been a good course in 2021. Sadly, it hasn't been updated since then, and a lot of links are broken, videos don't work, and some info is outdated (ex: the instructions on creating a sandbox and SQL DB). That this course was/is created by Microsoft, makes all this even more surprising. I hope they update the course.

There were not enough oportunities to practive things in the Azure cloud in order to explore the theoretical concepts introduced in the course. Also, some of the links to the Azure learning environment (i.e concierge subscription) provided in the course instructions did not work, which made it difficult to do the excercises without a lot of searching around for fixes.

Don't fall for the trap like I did. There is no voucher for 50% off the AZ-900 certificate exam. The links to the Microsoft Sandbox where the exercises are to be done are broken. There is no moderator in the forums and questions are not answered. The content is not too terrible so if you want to learn, just audit the courses.

The presenter clearly does not understand the material.

The majority of this course is simply a list of Azure services.

There is very little interaction and very little practical work.

Really ... this course was incredibly boring !

Coursera ... and Microsoft ... I think you can do better !!!

Not that much interactive. Seems like instructor is the just reading the text from screens. Also English Language used is kinda difficult and not have been designed to use simplest words so quite difficult for non-native English speakers.

Honestly this course feeled like a glorified add. It told us stuff we can do and what advantages we have, but failed to mention what disadvantages there are against similar solutions, thus giving us very narrow minded approach.

A little bit outdated with one video that is unavailable. Subtitles auto-generated are not always accurate and sometimes confuses. I expected better quality.

A bit of a mess. The course feels like a week long MS advertisement. There are graded assessments with questions on subjects that were not delivered yet.

A bit of a commercial approach. More schemes and representations needed, as well as explaining key concepts more extensively.

Hands-on exercises does not include all you need to be completed. I could not use sandboxes so i had to use my Azure account.

The materials are useful as an introduction, but the lab exercises are not well prepared, often with broken links.

Please read the reviews before enrolling in this course. I gave it a 1 star since I wanted to draw attention more than anything else, otherwise I think most of the course content is relevant and useful up to a certain point. Issues have been reported related to Week 2 website creation longer than a month ago and nothing has been done to correct this issue. It is very difficult to contact either Microsoft and Coursera customer support to help with this ongoing and frustrating issue and the only way to get help is via a redundant Bot that goes in circles, so before enrolling in the course, be warned that there are ongoing issues with some of the content and the support is inexistent.
