From everyone at Cloud Academy, we want to express our sincere appreciation to all of our customers who reviewed us on G2. Because of your feedback, we have been awarded numerous badges in the G2 Spring 2020 Reports and even earned a spot in G2’s Best Software Awards for 2020! We are deeply grateful for these honors, and we look forward to continually improving our platform to exceed your expectations in the future.
As we keep building Cloud Academy, we constantly look at adding features and tools that are unique. While building Cloud Academy, Giacomo Marinangeli (CTO/founder) and I had the pleasure to know little about the e-learning industry and we ended up building a platform that has always been unique in our approach compared to the rest of the market with product features like Hands-On Labs, Skills Assessment, and Content Engine. If you are a customer or if you are considering becoming one, you can follow our monthly new product releases here.
We constantly approach our features with a true tech company DNA, but a lot of what our customers love is also in our content. We have been building our content in a very unique way, and we keep investing in new updates and hundreds of new courses and labs every quarter, perfectly combined with our product features.
