Considered Both Products
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 I've used Beyond as well, which is kind of not really a competitor, but I found these styles to be a little outdated.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.
Infosec Skills
Chose Infosec Skills
Pluralsight offers more variety for courses and materials. However the quality of courses varies drastically. Making it difficult to RIO against unless you know a specific instructor or need very specific training on something that only exists there on that platform, or isn't …
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec IQ is relevant to our organisational requirements and is used for employee awareness and phishing campaigns and is monitored by IT and security.
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec skills is a lot better in terms of variety of learning as well as the labs are smoother and faster on infosec skills. Infosec skills crashes a lesser than the alternatives
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec is the best fit for me.
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec has been our go to training company.
Chose Infosec Skills
I used Pluralsight in the past and it is great for most things but lacks in the number of cyber security courses that Infosec Skills has.
Chose Infosec Skills
I use a variety of sources for training, some because they're available at low cost through my employer, others because they offer courses in a specific niche. I like Infosec for the range of subjects and learning paths that are applicable to my current objectives. The courses …
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec [Skills] provides a very good ROI for what I paid for [with] the training. There were a lot of similarities in terms of what each company had to offer and there were more than a few areas of overlap. I, ultimately, went with Infosec [Skills] due to word of mouth. I …
Chose Infosec Skills
I am in cyber security and this domain required me to do some internationally recognized certifications and infosec skills had helped in clearing these certifications. Their training instructors was awesome and practice questions quality was great. With the help of infosec …
Chose Infosec Skills
I selected Infosec Skills because they are commonplace in the industry. They offer a good amount of courses, material for the cost, and courses using Infosec [Skills] offer the ability to get certified through them. I think that, overall, Infosec [Skills] does offer an …
Chose Infosec Skills
Infosec Skills was better organized and more focused on what we wanted to train on. Udemy is still part of our educational environment.
Chose Infosec Skills
InfoSec Skills is practical and direct and can be used to gain an industry-rated and recognized certification that can be used to elevate one's professional standing. There are other training platforms, but none that I have found to be directly associated with a …
Chose Infosec Skills
We have only used Infosec Skills. We have nothing to compare.
Chose Infosec Skills
The concentration of Infosec Skills is on every Cyber Security domain. The Infosec Skills is one-stop solution for organizational users. The licenses are transferable within the organizational users.
Chose Infosec Skills
Stormwinds Studios/TOIT training Infosec Skills is generally more effective with instructor interaction, but the others offer a significant amount of training (live or recorded) for a much lower overall cost.
Chose Infosec Skills
We chose Infosec due to their reputation and a recommendation from the IT manager. We did not really evaluate other providers.
Chose Infosec Skills
[...] I subscribed to Infosec Skills to learn and research more about data recovery because I know Infosec Skills has [...] training [specifically] about that subject. But after I subscribe[d], I saw very little and basic information about this topic.

Chose Infosec Skills
Gaining my CISSP through Infosec Skills has really helped advance my career.
Chose Infosec Skills
I’ve used other training, but it didn’t measure up to the quality of product that Infosec Skills can produce.
Chose Infosec Skills
More or less the same as others I have used. Minus Infosec Skills does not have apps or smart tv/casting ability. Udemy PRO is also a better value $$$ for content. O'Reilly costs more but includes digital books for the most respected industry books. Infosec Skills has better …

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.

The onboarding process has been quite productive throughout with the best team. The customer support team is able and ever on alert when requested to assist. It has simple user interface which is not the case with other similar platforms. The training modules are easy to understand and put into practice. It meets the set threshold and complies with company principals.

Pros
  • 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.

  • A combination of presentation, explanation, and reading materials to suit all learning types.
  • An easy-to-use portal that tracks progress and allows you to go back and review.
  • A focus on both the certification itself as well as the background information. In contrast to just "practice tests."

Cons
  • 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.

  • Questions! The Database/site was updated, and I was no longer able to access the questions and choose specific topics to study from
  • There were two CISSP courses to watch videos, I would remove the oldest
  • Put an emphasis that users have a years membership after completing a boot camp

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
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.

Because the skills learned from the course have proven to be beneficial in the day-to-day tasks that I typically perform. They are either directly related to or at the very least a complementary skill set that allows me to perform my duties overall in a more beneficial way to the people that I support.

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
