DataCamp reviews

DataCamp review from a Data Analyst POV.

Opmerkingen: Highly recommend Datacamp to any newbie or professional in the data space. lessons are well-structured and easy to understand. I wish I discovered Datacamp earlier.

Pluspunten:

Not much other than the fact that it is paid.

Minpunten:

The fact it is a bit expensive, coming from a third world country the price is a bit over the top.

Best learning platform for data analytics and data science

Opmerkingen: Overall, we had a great experience using DataCamp as our learning platform for our data team. As a manager, it's very convenient to recommend and assign courses for my team members to work on while also being able to check their progress.

Pluspunten:

First, I like the interactive learning style in DataCamp. It's much more effective to learn while coding and getting instant feedback, while also doing it at your own pace. I also like the quality and wide range of courses in DataCamp.

Minpunten:

The price is a bit high. Other than that, I don't really have anything else I dislike about DataCamp.

Great Quality content for all the Data folks

Opmerkingen: Overall, I really liked the platform where they provide so many features that has helped me and my team gain knowledge, sharpen the skills and helps us get back to Datacamp when we have to refer something keeping our daily work in progress.

Pluspunten:

Gained a lot of knowledge with various topics on Cloud concepts, Data analytics, Python, R programming, BigData concepts with both bite sized videos of theory at first where the instructors from the industry explain with examples, after each video there is a hands-on session with a simple and nice interface. There is also a workspace area where we can practice and showcase our skills and share it too being part of our portfolio. The assessments they provide us gives us information about what we learn, the areas we are strong in and the progress of our learning. Lastly, there is good support, when stuck we can get hints to proceed with the programming tasks, MCQs. Apart from this there is a Slack community where there are lot of active users and instructors that solve doubts quickly and efficiently.

Minpunten:

Their VM crashes when learning the Tableau, Power BI and it takes a lot of time for it to load initially. Secondly, I faced an issue with the course progress where I had completed 3 modules/chapters out of 4, but when I tried to proceed to the next chapter (4th), it automatically reseted the progress of the 3rd chapter and showed that I did not complete it. Had taken screenshots and sent had given the feedback in the feedback section for each module.

Improving my skills!

Opmerkingen: Is an excellent tool to still mentally active and develop new skills.

Pluspunten:

You have access to so many courses that help you to start or continue the progress in any particular skill, which in my case was coding.

Minpunten:

The cost overall is not bad, but I don not want to pay for courses that I'm not interested in.

A Comprehensive Online Learning Platform for Data Science and Programming

Pluspunten:

Wide range of courses: Datacamp offers a large selection of courses in a variety of programming languages and data science topics, making it a good choice for those looking to learn or improve their skills in these areas. Interactive learning experience: Datacamp courses are interactive, allowing users to practice what they have learned through exercises and quizzes as they go through the material.

Minpunten:

Cost: While Datacamp offers a free trial and discounts for students, its courses can be expensive for those who are looking for a more budget-friendly learning option. Difficulty finding specific courses: With such a large selection of courses available, it can be challenging to find the specific course you are looking for, especially if you are not sure of the exact title or subject area.

Breaking into Data Science

Pluspunten:

Data Camp's online platform is accessible and easy to use. It has video lectures and offers practice problems that helps to understand the concepts. Platform offers courses in Python and R. There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses that teaches key data science principles.

Minpunten:

Needs to add more relevant and up to date courses, needs to add additional projects/practice problems for each course.

My Review of DataCamp

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with DataCamp is very good and I enjoy learning through it.

Pluspunten:

I like that DataCamp focuses on computer science which has a huge demand in the market. I also like that each course is offered in two programming languages like python or R language. The interface of DataCamp is straightforward and makes you want always to keep learning.

Minpunten:

I don't like that DataCamp doesn't have any discussion forum that allows us to exchange information and share our knowledge. Also, DataCamp is overpriced compared to the competitors and doesn't provide any scholarships

Easy access to new habilities.

Opmerkingen: I was very lucky to learn about DataCamp, it help me to get a new level of knowledge with very practical exercises.

Pluspunten:

Is a life changer! Tutorials and courses of very interesting topics. In my case is coding and you can choose your favorite.

Minpunten:

The prices are not bad for all that you can get.

Datacamp is filling in the gaps of my data science knowledge

Opmerkingen: It has been really great, within a few weeks, the content of the course had changed how I approached my code at work.

Pluspunten:

I have been working as a data analyst for the last few years but my educational path has been pretty self-driven up to this point. Datacamp is helping me to fill in the gaps with all of the stuff I don't know I don't know.

Minpunten:

I wish there was a better way to download the materials for later review.

Fantastic Challenges

Pluspunten:

Content is gradually increased, so you don't feel overwhelmed. The challenges they give you during chapters, is brilliant - it checks your knowledge. I've competed 3 courses so far, and am on my 4th - and they all seem to have the same style of delivery.

Minpunten:

The hints, they are most of the time, awful. Actually its frustrating, learning something new, being given hints which simply put - do not help at all.....

With DataCamp I had no more excuses for learning

Opmerkingen: I feel pretty comfortable and finally, I'm learning. I enjoy the time I spend learning knowing I'm building knowledge for the better.

Pluspunten:

I enjoy every lesson. Before DataCamp I tried to take many courses on programming and data analysis but always failed as there were boring. With DataCamp I find a vast variety of lessons and is easy to follow step by step. Perfect for beginners

Minpunten:

Is a lot of information and sometimes it gets hard to decide where to start

Explore new methods of learning.

Opmerkingen: Is a excellent tool to explore new abilities and improve your previous skills.

Pluspunten:

You can keep the score of your progress, which is very helpful and keeps you motivated.

Minpunten:

The price can be high for all the courses.

Great tool to learn!

Opmerkingen: Amazing! In this time where you can learn anything online, Datacamp is a great tool to do it.

Pluspunten:

You can find help to learn new skills like coding without previous knowledge.

Minpunten:

The cost of some features are not accessible for everyone.

DataCamp in science

Pluspunten:

First is very accesible to learn about DataCamp, and have different tools to develop.

Minpunten:

Sometimes the program close and do not save the data.

Oh what a great learning platform!

Pluspunten:

Everything! This is one of the best platforms to learn Python/R/Data Analysis to ever exist! I can't believe how well their programs are created, how interactive and challenging they are, and how well the whole experience is designed.

Minpunten:

Sometimes the tasks in courses were a bit uneven when it comes to level of difficulty, but I think that's a very personal opinion of mine.

Engaging and Smart Data Subjects Learning Platform

Pluspunten:

free courses are complete, videos and practices are well prepared. Thanks to the suggested learning paths, one can become a real specialist. The gamified platform is easy and fun to interact with. Price is affordable, you pay less than a monthly Netflix subscription. There are challenges and live events that make you feel like in a real academy.

Minpunten:

I can't really find anything that hurts my experience. I know that it can't be compared to a traditional University Course, but for the price I paid, the deal one gets is more than fair.

Good Educational Resource

Opmerkingen: Overall, DataCamp is a great enterprise resource for learning new skills, albeit a bit simplistic for practicing.

Pluspunten:

I enjoy the way DataCamp lessons are structured and easy to follow. There are also a wealth of classes pertaining to everything a data scientists/engineer/analyst would ever need for career growth.

Minpunten:

Many of the datacamp lessons are overly simplistic. DataCamp could also offer more practice problems or assessments for skill building.
