"Twenty years in and still going strong"
5/5
What do you like best about O'Reilly?

The variety of books, videos, articles, live streams, sandboxes for learning new stuff, old stuff, and things only mentioned in passing. I work in a small "state/Local govt agency" where cross-training is key to meeting all the demands placed on the IT team. No training money in our budget, I scraped up the cash for my first O'Reilly account and have been a fan ever since (no corporate account for me). We actively search for new tech and ways to server our clients. O'Reilly has been my go-to choice to learn about emerging tech and to aid problem solving the old tried and true tech we stil have in play and must maintain. I thought O'Reilly was only tech info and training until I was pressed into a supervisor role. Info and resources in O'Reilly helped me get a handle on being a manager when no mentor was available. Twenty years and still going strong. This month I learning about Snowflake and trouble-shooting an old bash interface script. Neverstop learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about O'Reilly?

Can't say I have bad experiences, with books or humans. Firewall issues at work for a couple of live classes a few years ago but it was us not O'Reilly. So I just plan ahead for live courses with labs and do them off site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Provides profound technical and practical knowledge"
5/5
What do you like best about O'Reilly?

It's useful for staying up to date on new approaches that are emerging, such as Gen AI and Copilot, and it provides more detailed explanations of how unsupervised algorithms work than other courses I've seen. I like the hands-on experience, the insights from visualizing results and the variety of topics related to machine learning algorithms with python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about O'Reilly?

Regarding the content, I'm enjoying it! What sometimes happens is that when I sign out and log in again to continue reading, the platform opens the book from the beginning of the chapter I'm on and not on the page I paused in the chapter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best learning Platform on the market. Could have Cloud Labs, it'll be perfect. ;)"
4.5/5
What do you like best about O'Reilly?

Exams practices, books, videos, sandboxes and Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about O'Reilly?

Again, it'll be awesome to have Cloud and Security Labs (AWS, Azure, GCP, Pentest) and more, even with a little price increase. The new look and feel it's a little confusing and it takes me longer than before to find something I want, but it looks good, and it's just a matter of habit.;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great resource for Professional Development"
5/5
What do you like best about O'Reilly?

The playlists allow to create your own learning paths.

There are video courses to follow online at your own pace and live sessions too.

Lots of books available too.

It covers a wide range of programming languages and technologies.

My main use case is to prepare for certifications (like AWS, Java and so on) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about O'Reilly?

The iOS app needs a bit of polishing. When you puse a video training it leaves the playback controls overlayed on the screen so it's hard to pause to check a diagram or a question when the instructor asks you to pause and think about it.

This does not happen on desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
