- Contains text-based self-paced courses, instead of video courses. Text-based courses can be read or skimmed very quickly by a user as compared to video-based courses.
- Each course has an in-built coding platform, that saves time because the learner need not waste time in setting up the environment locally while learning.
- Very good quality courses. All the courses that I undertook were apt. In addition, it has a Good UI and courses are well-illustrated which differentiates it from books, and hence you are not generally bored.

- Some courses are only for premium users, and the pricing is a bit on the higher side for Individuals. Free courses are also present, and they are not bad though.
- Does not has a course rating system, so, as the content grows, it might become difficult to differentiate between good and bad courses.

- The main benefit I realized is that it is not as "boring" as traditional books, and simultaneously has text-based courses, that helps a user like me, who wants to avoid binge-watching hours of videos, and prefers learning something by reading (and re-reading).

  ### 5. Good Courses and Organized One Stop for Interview Prep (Coding, Behavioral, System Design)

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2022

**What do you like best about Educative?**

Educative comes with a lot of organized written resources, which is really great. I don't have to consult multiple online resources. It has everything from Coding Prep to Advanced System Design Course. Its a real time saver and helps me be organzied.

**What do you dislike about Educative?**

Tons
1. There are a lot of mistakes in many sections; time complexity is wrong in DSA sections in multiple parts.
2. Although it an organized and makes preparation really easy, it feels like in many of the Coding Solutions, the authors did not put effort; it just gives you SOLUTIONs and a 3,4 liner summary which basically feels like reading a pseudo code. I had to refer to Youtube and Leetcode discussion section to understand the solution properly. Even medium articles do better on explanation
3. The python version used to run code is outdated, and it sometimes bothers the hell out because we get errors we should not be getting

Still, I think it's worth it. They have done an excellent job of making the process easier and step by step.

**What problems is Educative solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am preparing for my coming coding exams(CODING + SYSTEM DESIGN), I have spend 5 days now and i really like the platform. A few stuff sucks but it is still worth it and i am happy for the value i am getting it.

I wish i had purchased it, before i messed up 3 of my coding exams
