The Sc 900 Microsoft Security Complianceidentity Fundamentals U course was pretty good, I found the identity management section particularly helpful for my current role. The 4.7 rating seems accurate, though maybe a little generous considering the 7.5 hours felt a bit rushed.

By Anonymized User on 6/1/2025

In my experience, the SC-900 course provided a good overview of Microsoft's security offerings. I especially liked the explanation of the shared responsibility model; however, I think the pace could be a little slower for those completely new to cloud concepts.

By Anonymized User on 2/21/2025

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a strong foundation in Microsoft security, compliance, and identity. It was a great investment of my time and I feel more confident in my ability to apply these concepts in my work.

By Anonymized User on 2/17/2025

In my experience, the course was very well-structured and the content was presented in a clear and concise manner. I particularly appreciated the hands-on labs, which allowed me to apply what I had learned. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to gain a solid foundation in Microsoft Security Compliance and Identity Fundamentals.

I'm a security analyst, and I found this course to be a great way to learn more about Microsoft Security Compliance and Identity Fundamentals. The instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced, and he shared a lot of valuable insights.

In my experience, this course is an excellent resource for gaining a foundational understanding of Microsoft security and compliance principles. The modules on Microsoft Identity and Access Management Solutions were particularly insightful.

I found this SC-900 course is very good and it helped me learn a lot, especially through real-world examples. The course does a great job of breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand lessons. It provides practical insights into Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity solutions, which makes it highly relevant for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in this area. The hands-on examples really helped reinforce the concepts, and I feel much more confident in my understanding of Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Defender, and compliance tools. Overall, this course is a great starting point for anyone interested in cybersecurity.

MONOTONOUS: PRACTICALLY A PODCAST. I must admit that I hesitate to provide a negative review for this course, as it was recommended to me. However, there are numerous shortcomings that I feel compelled to address. To begin with, the course primarily consists of a narration of Microsoft's online materials, with minimal personal insights from the author. The accompanying slides serve little purpose beyond maintaining the thread of the discussion. Consequently, the course resembles a podcast more than an engaging learning experience. One could easily listen to the audio while multitasking, with minimal impact on comprehension. The content's monotony is striking, leading me to perceive this course as akin to instructing a web browser to read aloud from a Microsoft documentation webpage. The provided resource links direct users solely to Microsoft's documentation. It would have greatly enhanced the learning process to include links to specific sections within Microsoft's portals, thereby allowing direct access to the resources discussed in each module. While the SC-900 exam does not entail practical tests, incorporating "live" sessions demonstrating various options, features, and functionalities from the modules could have significantly improved topic comprehension. The questions posed at the end of each section are identical to those found on the Microsoft site, rendering them devoid of any additional value. Regrettably, I find it difficult to recommend this course for SC-900 exam preparation. A comparison with the freely available Microsoft documentation on the "learn.microsoft.com" website reveals an absolute equivalence in content quality.

Great material for test preparation. The narration was clear and explained the material well. The topics were organized very well. I would have liked more screenshots of features being described in Azure and less of the stock wallpaper. There were a few funny typos in the slides, but nothing detracted from the material. A lot of excellent links and resource material. I could have passed this exam with just this video course (but I also used Microsoft Learn material and a textbook).
