Articulate 360  Reviews

“Creation of training material at my fingertips

Pros

I can now tailor training material for my company's needs, complete with knowledge tests. Storyline's resemblance to PowerPoint ensures ease of use for everyone.

Cons

Users couldn't access a seek bar.

“Know Power point? You can do this!

Pros

Creating assessments and sharing files is effortless. It's also a convenient tool for creating and maintaining trainings. Its compatibility with PowerPoint makes it accessible, allowing for the creation of necessary tools for new hire training.

Cons

The first time I was shown how to use the tool, it seemed complicated. However, upon attending another training session, I realized it was easier than before.

“Easy to Use. Good and Plenty of Features.

Pros

Articulate's UX/UI design is excellent, offering solid design tools, asset banks, and a review tool. It saves time with its quick content development tools and easy publishing capabilities.

Cons

Firstly, the picture/video embedding feature has limited resolution, resulting in non-HD courses. While this helps save disk space, it impacts the resolution. Secondly, Articulate Rise lacks certain features to support multimedia/multi-sensory needs, such as background audio. However, Articulate Storyline can fill in those gaps.

“The only course creation software to use

Pros

Articulate Storyline and Rise have become our go-to tools for course creation. Rise's device compatibility and simple interface make course creation effortless.

Cons

Reviewing questions/answers in the Articulate software reveals many responses from over a year (or two) ago, stating "excellent suggestion, we'll pass it on to our programmers," without any follow-up on implementation.

“Your best course platform

The simplicity of designing courses with interactive content stands out, along with the excellent live training available.

Cons

I genuinely like this program, but its usability suffers without adequate internet access.

It lacks a 'preview x number of slides' feature.

“Just want we need to create learning

Pros

I'm using this software for a knowledge transfer project, capturing course content from experienced employees for newer hires. It allows for the creation of comprehensive training material that can be accessed as needed.

Cons

There's a slight learning curve to using this product, but once you grasp it, creating the right content is pretty straightforward.

“Best e-learning authoring software out there for less experienced users

Pros

It's a powerful yet fairly easy-to-understand authoring software for basic e-learning development. The outstanding user community provides ample support, and with Storyline continuously improving, user feedback is valued and incorporated.

Cons

Training is necessary as it's a powerful piece of authoring software. We had to hire a trainer to provide advanced training for our team because expanding after learning the basics was fairly complex.

“Just want we need to create learning

Pros

I'm currently using this software as part of a knowledge transfer project. As older employees retire, newer ones lack the technical knowledge acquired over years of experience. We're recording course content from experienced employees nearing retirement to create training for newer employees, thanks to this software, which allows us to create accessible training that can be stored and accessed as needed.

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve with this product, but once you get the hang of it, creating the right content is pretty easy.

“Hands down the best and easiest authoring tool

Pros

This is significantly simpler to navigate than any other software our team has experimented with. We can effortlessly develop a PowerPoint presentation and then convert it into an Articulate Storyline file. This streamlines much of the groundwork before we even commence our work in Articulate.

Cons

Things start to become challenging when creating tests/quizzes in Articulate. There's a plethora of options, and we must be extremely meticulous and detail-oriented when crafting pre/post exams for our courses.

“A modern, clean and refined take on a publishing tool.

Pros

My pros include its ease of understanding, smooth playback, template addition capabilities, and seamless integration with other software like LMS.

Cons

I'd appreciate the option to add more audio. For instance, being able to attach an audio file to either of two images on a slide, instead of just one, would be beneficial. Additionally, more timing options would be welcome.

“All The Tools I Need In One Place

Pros

Through Articulate 360, I appreciate having access to Storyline 360, Rise, and Articulate Review all consolidated in one platform. It's more conducive to mobile usage compared to other tools I've utilized previously.

Cons

The price is too high for me to afford for personal use.

“Instructional Design made easy

Pros

It's easy to use, offers a wide array of functionality, seamlessly integrates with LMS, and is great for e-learning scripting.

Cons

I wish there were more training offerings in our country. Mastering the program without an actual facilitator is quite challenging.

“Best e-learning authoring software out there for less experienced users

Pros

Storyline is powerful yet easy to understand, with a user-friendly interface and robust user community for support.

Cons

As it's a powerful piece of authoring software, it does require training. We had to hire a trainer to teach our team more advanced features, as expanding beyond the basics was fairly complex.
