Chose 360Learning
We had a lot of reasons for choosing to partner with PSA for our Learn 360 platform. The others were a much larger price, were not as easy to use, were not as feature-rich, and didn't have us plugged into so many relevant titles at any time. They also didn't seem as adaptable …
Chose 360Learning
360Learning is user-friendly and has quite a few functions to choose from.
Chose 360Learning
its dependability and ergonomics. When a learner is enrolled in a course, the platform is simple for them to use. Although administration is quite straightforward, the creation and management of courses depends on well defined roles. Compared to other LMS platforms, the …
Chose 360Learning
So we have a subscription to microsoft that has learning as well (provided by former lynda) and that doesn't do as well as 360Learning does, nor does it allow you the ability to create courses, everything is custom built by Lynda or third party resources so the ability to view …
Chose 360Learning
360Learning does allow more grading features than its counterparts. As well, it's available on multiple platforms such as desktop, mobile as well as browser. Moreover, it provides customized login functionality which makes it easy to add a new user. Features like these make …
Chose 360Learning
We use Udemy for Business and 360Learning in tandem. They do not have the collaboration feature, which really gives 360Learning an advantage. However, not being able to track the status of external programs does make that a little tricky to control.
Chose 360Learning
I was not part of those discussions.
Articulate 360
Chose Articulate 360
We've been with Articulate since 2016.
Chose Articulate 360
We use Vyond in conjunction with Rise obviously. They work well together. Captivate I always found clunky and, like many Adobe products, unintuitive as all their products don’t have the same interface. Makes no sense.
Chose Articulate 360
I would never use Captivate now that we use Articulate 360.
Chose Articulate 360
I've observed it really didn't have much interest in it also. Well, in the past I've used Captivate was just so painfully difficult to use. It's not user-friendly or intuitive for learners to really understand how to use. I mean, it's powerful, but it's nothing like Articulate. …
Chose Articulate 360
Vyond, Camtasia, and Adobe Captivate.
Chose Articulate 360
So I started off, the very first authoring tool I ever used was Captivate over 10 years or 15 years ago, that kind of thing. I think that was just because that was the tool that the team was using at the time. That was my first experience ever with an authoring tool. I found …
Chose Articulate 360
Not many. V is a product that has similar capabilities but nothing to the full extent of building courses like Storyline does.
Chose Articulate 360
We use Adobe Captivate and I wouldn't recommend that at all. I don't know, it's not quite the same. But we also, we use Camtasia and we use Adobe products. I know that that's not quite the same thing, but in terms of e-learning authoring, I can't think of another format that …
Chose Articulate 360
The only one that we've used with putting this together. We've tried Beyond, we've done things with that, but it's nowhere near what Articulate 360 can put together. I can't do testing and I can't do all these other features that come with Storyline or come with the Articulate …
Chose Articulate 360
I've used Adobe Captivate. I found that to be a little more complex than it needed to be. I've used Beyond as well, which is kind of not really a competitor, but I found these styles to be a little outdated.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate 360 seems to offer the best bang for your buck in the eLearning world.
Chose Articulate 360
The user interface is so similar to PowerPoint that it makes it easy to learn how to use the product. Adobe Captivate is ok, but the user interface is challenging to navigate for new users. Adobe Captivate also has an issue right now where they have new features in the "New" …
Chose Articulate 360
So much more user friendly! And a suite of options.
Chose Articulate 360
I used to use Captuvate, mostly because it was cheaper. But I prefer Articulate 360 for ease of use and availability of community.
Chose Articulate 360
Compared to other products I’ve used such as Adobe Captivate, uPerform, Articulate Studio and more, Articulate 360 strikes the best balance between pre-built (yet customizable) interactions as well as having open-ended development capabilities, all in a very user-friendly …
Chose Articulate 360
I like Captivate because it allows for more coding. I don't like that things are so easy it looks so cookie cutter. Same style of graphics or interactions.
Chose Articulate 360
So far I've only used camtasia for its video editing. I don't know what else it has to offer really. But I am sorry to say that articulate doesn't hold a candle in the wind to what Camtasia has to offer in terms of the video editing capacity. Camtasia is a amazing product. I …
Chose Articulate 360
For most projects, Storyline is the best of all of these. Not sure what Adobe is doing with Captivate. The attention that Articulate pays to Storyline & updates vs Adobe doesn't to Captivate is telling.

Articulate provides for simple, custom interactive training modules. There isn't much wrong with this software that I have found. Using Rise 360 for quick turnaround or fully customized training with Storyline 360. Articulate has made the possibilities limited only to my imagination. Their simple and well-thought-out toolbars make starting from scratch a breeze.

  • It just seems to be very intuitive for instructional designers, especially nowadays from what I'm seeing with the new AI. But it's very intuitive. It's better than any other tool authoring tool that I've tried. I think it's just really outstanding in the industry and that's evidenced by every year. Demo Fest, like 95% of the best examples are all done in Articulate products.

Cons
  • Sometimes the platform isn't as intuitive as I'd like
  • Frequent updates that can impact the guidelines we establish for our internal employees
  • Catalog access for courses is linked to programs requiring participants to retake a program instead of just replaying a singular course. This is being addressed in a future update.

  • The most hiccups that I've recently experienced are honestly involved with AI and just my trying to learn AI and figure out how we can maximize that for our business case. The AI voiceover is what I'm specifically curious about and trying to learn more. So in regards to the AI, there's still some shuffling needs to be done. SSML that needs to be added for it to read correctly. There is a very large amount of voices and dialects, which I think is beneficial. It was also a little overwhelming in trying to play around with it and find that right part. So just continuing to look through the community and find the guidance that I need to essentially make the audio, make the voiceover work better and read the words correctly. For example, one of my most popular courses that I sell is Record Your Time and it kept reading, it records your time, and I could not figure out how to make those words. We've submitted a ticket, you guys have been very helpful, but we can't really figure out how to make those little nuances work with the complex English language.

It goes without saying that Artculate's products are the easiest to use and offer a great deal of functions with flexibility. Once an eLearning author uses the product it becomes tempting to not use other methods, but one would be wise not to limit him or herself to a single learning authoring platform. On the other hand, if given a single choice of a tool for rapid eLearning development, Articulate's Storyline would be a top choice.

Usability
You don't really need to be trained to use it, it's like social media. If not, there's full documentation available, it's not a steep learning curve at all. There's lots of advice about how to better use the platform too. I don't see any need for improvement here but left a 9/10 JUST in case.

Overall, Articulate is fairly easy to use and intuitive. They have excellent training materials in the training videos on the website, as well as good technical support. Someone with limited expertise doing content creation would be able to immediately pick up functions and get started in the software. I was able to create my first course within an hour or so of opening it up.

I rate the overall support for Articulate 360 ​​with a 9. On the one hand because of the smooth and accurate support from Articulate's support team (usually within 24 hours) and on the other because of the commitment / use of a community (e-learning Heroes) where I have all kinds of insights from other helpful users.

The online training options given by the online tutorials, forums, and "E-Learning Heroes" community are simply awesome. Examples galore, easy to understand descriptions including step-by-step guides, images, occasionally videos, and the "Articulate Insiders" sub-community give you more materials to learn about Storyline than you are likely to be able to read.

It is pretty straight forward and easy to implement is you are already creating eLearning. If you have old courses created in other versions of Articulate I recommend you update them to the new version even though it is not necessary (especially From Storyline3 to 360) but if you don't you may find difficulty opening and keeping things straight

For me, since I had used Articulate prior to using Lectora, I found Lectora to be very archaic. It was cumbersome to create triggers, and I had issues getting my scenarios to play correctly. My company switched to Articulate after my request, and I was able to recreate all of our modules into Storyline. Now I am able to manage our scenarios with efficiency and ease. Articulate products are intuitive and very easy to understand
