What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

It is known that there are companies that are dedicated to the same thing that is dedicated, that is, to provide courses where people pay or simply enter to see certain classes of their convenience, but Open edx is one of the most prestigious companies worldwide offering courses far above From any other they offer courses of dubious origin due to high costs and they do not really offer certificates or anything that endorses such courses that is why they always prefer to use open edx because I know that it has a long history and there are many companies that support them, such as the university of Harvard

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the way the courses are organized because we can find almost any course we need with a very easy search engine, we have course sections, programs section and university section, it also has an open edx section for business that is quite striking for corporations. acquire this type of service for their employees and thus have a better performance in their daily work and much more fluency when working together because it is a teaching that is done will be knowledge and statistics of a lot of students who have already been monitored

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I like least about the open edx service is that in the end to get a course that is really worth it in its entirety you have to pay an absurd amount of money there are courses that exceed $ 4000 and it seems to me that it is a total exaggeration I think they could lower the price of that a lot and perhaps be a little more accessible people who need some type of course does not have validation of their career would be the only negative I have to say about the company with respect to the prices of the rest course I know that the courses are really worth it I know that an open edx course has much more weights than any other

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Recommendations that if you want to learn a discipline you can look in the free courses section, you have the means to pay for a paid course, I totally recommend it because I know that a company that is committed to the learning of all its students and its teachers who are fully trained to teach and I know that somehow you will understand what you are paying and what you are learning from Open edx which is one of the best currently offering courses which is simply way above what we think

I never got a platform with the same quality

9 /10

What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

The Open edX system has many competing companies that offer courses in a similar way that is super excessive payment that does not really cause paying, therefore I will always stay with Open edX because a price according to the teachers really know is something that differs from other companies the quality with which the courses are given exceptional universities support this company important universities important people to use the platform so it is something that must be emphasized with respect to others

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The way in which you can access a course in Open edX very easy, just by registering, you can do your course either for free or pay, proceed to the final certificate, you only have to pay a really cheap price. Students is also economical for a person who works, perhaps he can pay for the course fully with his separate certificate, it is a company that has been in the market for a long time and This gives me more and more confidence in its service

What do you dislike most about this product?

Because I don't like that, they also say that when Searching for a course on the platform is a bit slow and it is even slower on the Android device, I tell you that I was looking for a digital marketing course and when looking for it I lost a lot of time I got one I did the same which was successful but I did not pay for the certificate I left it like this because the knowledge would still serve me well I know there is a lot of material to explore I would like to continue doing it

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I know that many people who currently need to learn some type of discipline or specific area to reinforce knowledge to start in a similar activity that is why I recommend it because it has already been tested and I know that it is a platform that offers high quality courses that are quite accessible and very easy to use. I recommend using it to a couple of friends and about three work colleagues, four of them are useful to the platform and they are totally satisfied, so how about reading this I recommend the platform totally
