    Chose Adobe Captivate
    I prefer Articulate 360 over Adobe Captivate. While Captivate does have more features overall, Articulate 360 is much easier to navigate and nice, clean courses can be created in a fraction of the time.

    Chose Adobe Captivate
    Whereas Articulate offers previews of production slides for mobile screen size, Captivate lets you design and edit content in a simulated mobile display. The ability to decide how content will behave when it encounters a mobile screen is immeasurably valuable. This is the …

    Chose Adobe Captivate
    Although Articulate Storyline is more user friendly, Adobe Captivate has more functionality and options to choose from when designing an eLearning course. Articulate Storyline's interface is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, so if you have experience with that program, …

    We're currently entertaining alternatives as other HRIS systems have LMS features, but other learning system competitors do not have comparable capabilities for hosting and monitoring learning. Other systems have better integration capabilities, but Cornerstone has a stronger …

    Chose Cornerstone OnDemand
    Cornerstone is not as light and modern as Captivate Prime. Prime has a less cluttered intuitive interface, but it lacked some basic functionality, such as a test creation tool. We had to create tests like eLearnings instead of having a native test engine. Prime had the ability …

    Chose Cornerstone OnDemand
    Cornerstone OnDemand provides a full-service HRD system. This was a big plus. AccordLMS has a simpler interface, but seemed to lack in the ability to maintain classrooms in multiple locations. Cornerstone OnDemand is a cloud-based, hosted system. A hosted system was important …

    We briefly looked at other vendors, but decided to continue with Cornerstone OnDemand. The reason being is that our sister organization already had their own instance of Cornerstone. Through my initial research, Halogen also provided much of the same functionality that …
