What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

open edx is one of the platforms that currently has the best performance in terms of users who buy their courses through the platform and that is why it is one of the leaders, the search menu is very easy to use, we can find several topics that we may like them, such as learning excel, and other topics that are very good to learn, and I have noticed that other similar platforms do not have such relevant and important topics and that is why I always choose to use open edx

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Since I use open edx I tend to have more retention of learning, I suppose that the teachers are better trained and I tend to understand much better and more fluently, it happened that one of the courses was super happy since the subtopics were well organized and understandable , the excel course in the formulas part was totally great and effective

What do you dislike most about this product?

Whenever I use open edx to acquire courses and understand many necessary things, the results were always favorable since I always understood from the beginning, the only bad thing is that to be able to see the courses I must have internet and I don't always have availability, the only thing is that I can do it whenever I want and this is something that must be given a positive value rather than a negative one

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If there is someone who is reading this review and needs to learn something and the course is available on the Open Edx platform, I would very easily recommend that they try the platform, since the topics to be covered in the course are very complete, for example the ones I have Taken like Excel, I learned a lot and ended up understanding practically everything that the course teacher wanted to teach and that's why I'm happy with the content provided by the Open Edx platform.

What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

open edx is far above in terms of quality and quantity of courses virtually and with the best qualified teachers or at least in comparison to other companies that offer services similar to open edx, it makes me totally happy because I have been able to learn things that I did before I had no idea

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This is the company that offers online courses, very cheap, easy to learn and many times we have several options and teachers to choose from and that is something that I value a lot because I can also learn and watch courses at the time I want through of any device that you have available at the moment

What do you dislike most about this product?

what I like least about Open edx so far is that if a course is not available we cannot or I do not know how to request it to see if any teacher is encouraged to do it specifically, regardless of whether it is individually or in a group, I would like to tell with that possibility of requesting it

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend the service because we have a large number of courses available that amaze me, apart from that we can see them when we can from an internet connection without any problem and that is very positive for those of us who cannot attend a physical class for different reasons or distance, The platform is very good and I plan to use it for a long time

What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

It is very different in terms of quality, at least in those that I have been, I feel that it has an added value and that is that the courses that they offer are very good, and easy to access for a fairly affordable fee to pay

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

the things that I have learned thanks to the Open edx courses have been wonderful, from simple things to more complex things and with a fairly broad level of learning since the professors who teach each course are very well informed of what it is to give a course with quality, very good indeed

What do you dislike most about this product?

what I don't like about open edx so far is that it's a bit inconvenient and slow to find a course using a device like a smartphone, it's a bit slow, everything else is fine, it's a very good platform

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is simply one of the platforms that I am most happy to use, it always has high quality courses available and as long as I can recommend it to friends and family I will do it without worries, it has never failed me and that is why I have a lot of confidence in it
