Udemy Business

Pros

I am a huge user of online courses, and one of the platforms I use is Udemy Business because it takes everything I love about regular Udemy and elevates it to a new level, especially in terms of the qualty of the courses. The platform is mainly aimed at practical courses that don’t take much time, something that is useful for professionals, it offers a wide range of courses that cover both soft skills and special courses. What sets it apart is the fact that it features only the highest rated courses, ensuring that we can take quality courses.

Cons

Well, the platform offers a variety of courses, some are very basic, this forces you to take other courses, in my opinion they should improve the quality of the courses and strike a balance between the practical and the basic, so that it isn’t a waste of time, the search options can be quite limiting, making it difficult to find the specific courses I’m interested in, they need to improve the suggestion of related courses, Another concern is the price, some courses seem too expensive for the content and quality of the instruction they offer.

Pros

I liked the wide variety of courses, which provided ample options for tech team development. The platform offered flexibility in course selection, making it easy to find relevant training. You can do exam preparations like mock exams to help with certifications and a lot of the content is approved by the vendor for example AWS or Amazon.

Cons

The lack of customisation options for administrators. It was challenging to tailor the content or track detailed metrics specific to team needs, limiting the control over course delivery. If there was a way to set a priority and then measure learning completion toward that priority skill or subject, that would be useful.

Pros

I like their interface and overall navigation of courses.

Cons

Dealing with their after the sale customer service and billing.

Pros

The most like about Udemy is the offer they have usually. Their are many different courses available in each topic I need.

Cons

The least point about Udemy is only online. I can not download the courses to hear it without Internet.

Pros

The UI leaves little to be desired, it's easy to pick up where you left off of search for something new

Cons

The reporting was a bit out of the box versus being able to create my own.

Pros

I like best its customer service commitment, but it is additionally famous for all ways and means to manage courses, particularly its customizing features for groups and individuals, assign tasks and tests. Its user friendly dashboard offers full insights and analytics about how courses develop, namely reports on courses, skills, tests and labs.

Cons

In fact, I do not have enough to go against Udemy Business except for the issue of accreditation and course content, I sometimes feel that they are less careful when it comes to instructors, anyone can be an instructor on Udemy, and this might limit the quality of courses.

Pros

Access to over 20,000 courses,custom learning paths for different organization,user friendly, meant for global teams and multiple languages.

Cons

Pricing,some content may not address highly specific needs.

Pros

It is a good platform for businesses to ensure their workforce gets the needed training in order for them to function at various roles.

Cons

Some of the courses are not as interactive as I expected. They need more human touch.

Pros

did not use this often but it is a great place to learn on a specific topic

Cons

it would be better if more companies actually use Udemy Business for trainings

Pros

Courses at udemy are very cheap to pay for and certificate are awarded which is so amazing unlike other platforms

Cons

Udemy has variety of course and it's certified.

Pros

It's very simple to use, the steps to add a course are very effective. The marketing of the courses is great. They do it all to spread the word about your course.

Cons

I knew before I started to use that the price table was very different from the ones I was used to. But I put a course to sell to 59 usd, they sold for 5usd and paid me 1.5usd per course sold. I know it's the contract, but it was so clear for me in the begining. So be aware that the prices of the courses sold will be very low.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Udemy Business

Pros

The range of courses and the level of details for the courses are the biggest selling point for the platform. The courses are detailed and taught at a good pace which makes it easier for the team to complete their courses in time. We are always encouraging the team to take courses to help increase their skills and Udemy always has everything you need. The website and mobile app are really easy to navigate as well.

Cons

The only issue which isn't really much of an issue is the pricing system. You buy a course at a full price and few days after, it is already discounted by almost 90%. If something can be done for this, it will be nice.

Pros

In Udemy you will find all materials that you need. Mostly good teachers.

Cons

It has so much materials that you have to be careful to select the best teacher, best material , best reviews. It should have some standards on the courses there.

Pros

The amount of training present on Udemy Business is enormous, and include many different topics. Features are great, including the Q&A sections in every individual video, as well as trascriptions and quality of the courses.

Cons

Not everything is included in Udemy Business, so if you are looking for a specific course it might not be there.

Pros

The thing I liked about udemy business is it's curated learning path, high quality extensive catalog, courses on wide range of topics makes udemy business better.

Cons

The cons of udemy business is not all courses available on the platform that's why users will not find the specific course they need.

Pros

It's really nice that my employer is partnered with Udemy to offer us online education in many different fields

Cons

I seriously haven't found anything I do not like about it

Pros

Things I liked most about the Udemy Business isIt can be used as a learning platform for enhancing the knowledge of the learners.Udemy Business provides reputed certification which is very essential for one's growth.A variety of topics and learnings with well highly reputed teachers is what differentiates Udemy business from its competitors.

Cons

The only thing which I liked least about the Udemy Business was that it is expensive and One needs to pay more for its certification and learning. Also, The UI interface can also be enhanced for better tracking of competition of the certification.

Pros

Udemy offers a wide variety of courses, you may find multiple courses from different instructors on the same subject and the learner can choose the course / instructor that she suits her needs. The recorded video and audio quality is mostly good. The transcript section is extremely useful when following instructors with strong accents. We can also speed up or slow down the video for better listening. The QA section under each course acts as a forum to get our questions clarified. The ability to rate and comments on the course content is good and it helps learners to pick the best content and also helps the instructors to uphold quality.

Cons

Some courses may not be up to standard and the user needs to rely on ratings and comments to find the best course on the subject. There is no built-in tests to evaluate the user's proficiency level. It's up to the user to go through the course index and content to see if it's the right amount of challenge. Once the course is completed, there are no tests to assess our learning / knowledge.

Pros

Easy to learn, understand and practice. Virtual classroom is very useful to learn new technologies. There are latest technologies to learn and know.

Cons

Certificates are available to paid courses only and not for free courses. On any occasion, there are free cum certificates course available.

Pros

Loved that you can browse a large selection of courses, that you get a certification t the end of each course that you can attach to your CV or show on your Linkedin profile. It is a great competitor for Linkedin Learning and I think the content here is better.

Cons

Well, not all courses are great. For example, I selected one for affiliate marketing and I can say it was absolutely dreadful to listen to a person who did not speak good English. But, I should of used the preview course option before selecting the course.

Pros

Udemy for Business is one of the best online learning platforms that provides thousands of online courses free of cost. I recently completed a course on fire safety from Udemy, a very comprehensive and well-prepared online course. I learned about fire hazards and safety precautions. The said course will help me in my professional life. Udemy's online courses are to the point and relevant to the topic. Courses are prepared on modern concepts, videos are added for more clarity about specific topics; you are your manager to adjust your timing, as courses can be completed at any suitable time. Udemy for Business also provides certificates after a course. For me, it is best in terms of ease of timing schedule.

Cons

Although the certificate awarded by Udemy after completing an online course has not much worth in the market, the skills and knowledge we gain are essential. More videos relevant to the courses must be provided to understand the concepts clearly.

Pros

The most impactful feature of Udemy Business is the availability of many courses. The courses are arranged step by step which makes them simple to use and integrate with existing business processes.

Cons

Udemy Business can still be improved by adding more targeted and tailored courses for businesses.

Pros

I love the frequent sales and the relevance of the courses offered! I have used it to learn a variety of skills relevant to my doctoral program

Cons

Sometimes it takes a while before there's a sale - some courses are VERY expensive

Pros

Courses available on almost all subjects.

Cons

Sorting, Filtering needs better optimisation to find the best course for the subjects.

Pros

Udemy has a very large course catalog. It's good value for money in terms of investing in a single learning platform with the widest possible utility for our employees.

Cons

There's not much interactivity in the courses, mostly just videos you watch.

Pros

By far the best thing about Udemy is the course creation is decentralised. This means the amount of content added is incredible. In addition, for new trends like AI, AI courses were created almost instantly which is hugely important for our employees to stay on the pulse. I've reviewed other learning platforms that curate their own content and they simply can't keep up with a decentralised content creation model. The dashboard is hugely valuable to track learning progress across the business to ensure our employees are up skilling.

Cons

Udemy is very expensive and a little inflexible when it comes to pricing. Whilst the investment is worth it, the costs of Udemy at scale can quickly become enormous. Given they don't create content, I'd expect them to be significantly more affordable than other providers but they're amongst the most expensive.

Pros

It allows people to share knowledge while providing a source of income that's what stood more for me

Cons

The fact that they apply too much promotion of the course minimizing the amount of money you can make

Pros

At Infoplus, we offer a Udemy Subscription to all employees as a way to add value to their own education paths that they want to take. There are also great classes that add value for my team when they are onboarding, like the Junit and Cypress tests, which has added knowledge to my team that they did not previously have.

Cons

There can be too many choices so I do spend time vetting what courses I recommend if I am asked by a team member for help choosing a course.

Pros

Udemy is great educational platform in which you can find a lot of contents to learn about on an everyday basis. I use it to learn more about Data Science and Data Engineer. So far, I am satisfied

Cons

The cons is that there is a lot of content regarding a same field. Let's say you want to learn python there's a lot of content from different creator and sometimes it's not easy to choose.
And when creating a career path, sometimes it suggest a path that can be rather too long so a lot of handmaid customization to do.

Pros

There is a great variarity of content and courses to be taken and most of them really goes deep in what you are learning

Cons

certainly, the price is hard to justify, but it worth it if you take as many courses as you can

Pros

Pros: lots of courses in different areas and topics. All courses are conducted by highly professional teachers/coaches. Video and sound of a great quality.
Also, certificates can be used to prove level of expertise.

Cons

Cons: A little outdated design of the interface. But other than that I'm happy with Udemy!

Udemy is a versatile and accessible online learning platform where I could access using any device anywhere. Courses that Udemy provides are professionally created by Industry professionals making it more reliable and having more insight into the industry related info which has given me a better insight of what I’m learning. The UI of the platform is easy to navigate and keep track of the progress. Further, downloading the app enables to download the courses to the device and then work on the courses even without the need of internet which is a very useful and efficient feature.

Cons

Since the courses are self paced, doubts related to the contents will have to raised through email/Q&A section where reply may take some delay beside that I don’t see any limitation to the courses nor the platform.

Pros

If I am a company/organization, I can assign courses to my employees and track their progress.

Cons

With almost anyone being able to upload courses on the platform, the quality of content posted can vary drastically, and organizations and employees likewise can lose value for money invested.

Cons

I would have to say it would be nice to have live or interactive trainings.

The variety of possibilities that remind me to assign for a course that I was not thinking about or did not know that such a course was existing.

Cons

The courses are not always the most updated ones so that you can waste time by starting a course that might be too old.

Pros

Its extensive library of high-quality courses allowed our team to upskill in various areas. The user-friendly platform and robust analytics made it easy to track our progress and measure the impact of learning. Additionally, the ability to customize content and access it offline provided great flexibility for our diverse learning needs.
