Live instructor-led IT training in scheduled batches.
Udemy
The biggest course marketplace, with never-ending sales.
Our verdict
These are opposite models. Edureka puts you in a scheduled online class with a live instructor, real-time help, and a fixed start date; its flagship DevOps program listed at USD 899 in July 2026. Udemy sells self-paced courses on the same topics for the price of lunch during its near-permanent sales, and you keep them forever. If you have the discipline to learn alone, Udemy covers most of the same material for a fraction of the money, which is why it wins for most people. Pick Edureka when you know you need live structure to finish, or when an employer pays.
“Live classes with an instructor who answers questions in real time is something the big self-paced platforms do not offer, and Edureka built its whole model on it. Budget accordingly: the flagship DevOps program listed at USD 899 in July 2026.”Editorial team, on Edureka
“We bought three courses during sales and never paid more than fifteen dollars. Quality varies by instructor, so read the reviews before you buy. For learning a specific skill fast and cheap, unbeatable.”Editorial team, on Udemy
