It is good. Hard for a newer like me because many concepts concentrate in few minutes video. But it is compleate. Thank you

By Piotr Pabis on 2/17/2024

I passed on the first try with 82%, thanks Riyaz! However, the course is mostly high-level - it covers everything that is needed but not deep enough, you need to dive in yourself into AWS docs or ask GPT/Bedrock to understand - what exactly is ASCS and HSR responsible for? Why is it needed in HA? What is S/4, BW/4, BW, NetWeaver, ECC and how do they differ, when to use which? I did Riyaz's and Stephane's course on Database Specialty and it was AMAZING and had everything covered in depth. Here I lacked it. Nevertheless, Riyaz is a great instructor!

I think content that is included to course is explained well, albeit a bit higher level than most courses I have went though on other certifications. I am guessing this course is more suited for someone who is weak on AWS knowledge and already got good handle on SAP systems. Because of this I had to reduce half star. During whole course I was bit distracted by the fact that I didn't have knowledge of these systems, which I am suppose to be "specialist" after this course. I do understand that it is not really needed for exam, but for me to remember things I really need bit more background information than what was provided. I can of course google these things, but having someone who actually knows these systems pick good links would be valuable in my opinion. I still liked the course, and if these SAP deep dive explanation links would be provided to last overview lecture, I would be happy to update review to 5 star.

Really interesting course. The instructor is really engaging and knows his subject. The course provides a great overview of AWS services important for SAP deployments, as well as an introduction to SAP for those that don't know about it.

By Mehdy Haghy on 1/21/2024

Great course for passing the exam. I passed by taking this course half an hour every day. areas for improvement: - tone is too slow and I played it on 1.5x. also slides are not iphone friendly. it's better to use larger fonts like other Maarek slides with less content per slide. -the real exam had a lot of questions about different storage classes and iops. I think there is a need to focus more that part. -there was one wrong piece of information in lessons. spot instances pricing model is not based on bidding. it has changed since 2018.

As a fresher diving into AWS, I found this Udemy course super helpful. The content was easy to follow and straight to the point. A big shoutout to the instructor, Riyaz Sayyed, for making complex topics seem simple. His teaching style is clear and engaging, making the learning process smooth. I've gained a lot of confidence thanks to him. Definitely recommend this course to others!

By Alex Moreno on 8/9/2023

The course is exceeding my expectations: it's well documented and well paced. I'd place it no doubt in the same league than the top sales trainings' authors, Maarek, Davis or Bonso. If you want to sit for the Specialty exam, this course is a must.

By Anonymized User on 4/22/2023

The course material was great! I wish there was a little more in-depth diving into the SAP side of things though for those that have more AWS knowledge than SAP. The music intro/outro for every lecture did get kind of annoying to me after a bit though.

By Marius Petan on 3/2/2023

I like the pace of the exam. The AWS crash lessons in the first part of the course are awesome . Wasn't planning to go for the SAP migration exam, but after going through this course, I might. Thank you!

By Viet Tran on 2/14/2023

Completed the very interesting course within 2 days. I learnt a lot from the instructor even I worked on AWS platform few years. This is hands-on course, instructor covered a lot of AWS knowledge before jumping into SAP knowledge. I wish we can have more understanding about SAP knowledge such as: components functionalities, SAP comparing services / components (I am new with SAP, so this makes a bit difficulties to me). However, I believe you can learn new knowledge from this course whatever your level. Thanks Riyaz.
