What I dislike is, with the price, I expect comprehensive devsecops explanation start from threat modelling and complete explanation of devsecops maturity model. Turns out that what I want are in CDE, but I have to buy CDP which is also expensive. The material also feels outdated, sorry to say but in this AI era, the course feels like created in 2019 and never updated since, feels like finding an ancient book but have to adapt in this modern era. The mandatory material are few, but the optional about learning tools are so many. It's also better if I get to learn from the course about CI/CD example that really used in the real world (along with the branch strategy and versioning)

The hands on lab portion was really great. The reading of the videos was clearly done by an AI agent which lead to boredom. Overall a good course with good knowledge. Just would have enjoyed it better if was read by an actual human with emotion in the voice.

Good and straightforward courses, with payloads that prove to be tested before being released. But, very frustrated from the exam feedback. While I managed to solve the exam, one step I couldn't solve, and I wanted to know what I missed ; the answer from Practical DevSecOps? "we don't disclose". When I give lessons and trainings, I do it for my students so they learn, they become better. Not to hide them what they did wrong and where they could improve. Pretty unprofessional in my opinion, to hide what could be improved. Also, the fact that courses must rely on ready machines before being able to start reading the course, is not really optimized, and it could be improved.

I've recently passed the CTMP course and certification. I would like to highlight that labs were almost useless as they are lacking feedback - no one actually checks your results and you are just shown the reference results to compare. Overall, the CTMP course is OK, you can learn about some nice instruments and basic mechanics, but the information is not deep enough to to look for threats in business (not technical) part of the applications - which, in my eyes, is more important.

The platform is amazing, and the labs are amazing. But the content is bad, there is so much replicate in it, you don't need to told me each time how to go the pipeline and edit just go to the point and minimzie the wasted time, rather than told me in every lab to use one new feature like allow failure or when and for each i will start a lab and create the pipeline and ..... Just create a lab named 'Pipeline Features' and summarize all the features that I can use. Then, make a scenario where I need to use all of them.

It is good having VMs in the labs. But the terminal were delay when typing which is kind of annoying. unable to access lab instructions after 60 days kind of misleading. I thought I will be unable to access lab VMs after 60 days but that also include lab instruction and the majority of the course content is in the lab instruction. The course were as expensive as enrolling a whole semester at university, I expected to be able to access course material, so at least I could setup my own VMs.

The course is well-structured and covers a range of fascinating topics, making it an interesting experience overall. However, I felt that the practical component could be expanded. Practicing various architectures and techniques would enrich the learning experience and help solidify the concepts. In my opinion, this addition would elevate the course and provide more comprehensive, applicable skills

According to CDP's course introduction, the learner does not need to have any background of DevOps. However, it is totally wrong. If you do not have enough background of DevOps, you would definitely fail the Final Exam. In my perspective, I passed the Final exam with around 1 year of DevOps experience and I would like to confirm that the Final Exam is not easy.
