Platform of the best courses
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?
The market with Open edX is tough, because it has many competitors who are always updating as well as the Open edX team updating many things and fixing errors that always appear. Even if you only write by mail, they also help you correct possible errors in the courses and your choice.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
This platform is one of my favorites for the simple fact that many like to learn with it instead of doing it physically, either for health, comfort and many other things that influence a lot. Of the best things that I have used for a long time, being able to choose a course from the phone and do it while I go on a trip or even if they are short while I do my shopping.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I do not like at all is the way in which the issue of the records that you did the course is approached, they are not very reliable and quite doubtful according to some forums, it seems to me that the certificate is very good because each name appears and currently it is very necessary to have one, but some have a gesture of not knowing more than criticizing negatively, in my opinion it is going correctly
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
When I want to learn about a topic or trade I like to visit Open edX and educate myself about it, because I always learn more than I think, and that being in a physical site, I am more about learning online and many things like that. Although it does not hurt to enter other things but without a doubt Open edX is one of the most recommended sites for this type of learning thing
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing

The best way to take courses
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?
This company or platform called Open edX has a way of working that many other companies try to imitate but they are not very good in their entirety like edX, it is a fast platform, efficient in searches and also effective in the courses they develop. Since one really learns quickly, and with a lot of dedication, you can achieve great things that you cannot on other platforms.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like the most is that you can see the courses when you can, that is, there are no problems that you are working or studying, when you return home you can see it, even when you are free you can do it. Apart from this they give you a certificate by paying this, this platform is accompanied by universities that endorse learning and teaching, which speaks very well of Open edX
What do you dislike most about this product?
To begin with, I want to make it clear that I have not liked the application of this platform very much, since it tends to be very slow, and sometimes it fails frequently, and this is a bad thing because when I am looking for a course or in the middle of one closing generates a loss of class and perfect continuation at least in my case that I focus too much on all classes
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I feel that many people should know that there is this great company that has developed thousands of great quality courses and that many should take advantage of and obtain their certificates, and train even more in their academic subjects or careers, apart from the knowledge that you achieve with this You can't find it anywhere else, at least not on the internet. I highly recommend it
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Unique Features
- Efficient Service
