I had the privilege of receiving training on Alibaba Cloud from Orbus International, and it was an exceptional experience. The content was well-structured, and the trainers were highly knowledgeable, making complex concepts easy to grasp.

Tejasri S

“Content explanation is too good where even those new to SailPoint also can understand the content but as I don’t have much practice about programming language it was bit difficult for me to follow up else it’s too good .
Just one drawback/ feedback is practice time for LAB could’ve been for one more additional week where I could’ve got more hands-on and get myself well equipped.”
