Pro Easy to use
The main dashboard where you create and run your courses is intuitive and easy to use. It's really simple to upload course files, check on analytics, issue refunds, communicate with students, etc. It saves a lot of time which you can focus on creating and selling your course instead.
Pro Efficient uploading
You'll have to upload documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and videos when creating your course. Its drag and drop interface allows you to easily pull in your files from wherever they’re stored. It links up nicely with cloud storage, Google Drive, and Dropbox and there’s also a bulk upload facility, which saves a lot of time.

Cons
Con Quality varies
The quality control for the content offered is fairly limited. As there are so many different instructors offering courses on Udemy, many of which lack formal training and teaching experience since anyone can be a teacher on Udemy, the quality varies quite a bit between the different courses.
Con Most courses are expensive
While Udemy does offer free courses, most of them are around $100.
Con Difficult to take multiple (10+) courses at the same time
The system becomes messy and hard to follow if you plan on using the site to learn more than a handful of things at once.
Con Expensive to use
Their pricing plans are nowhere near affordable. If you don’t yet have a subscriber base, I’d stay away.
