    iSpring gets me branching scenarios. I really wish it'd do branching video though. Genially is much more visually appealing but it's not as powerful as Storyline. dominKnow was at the forefront of responsive design, but as soon as Storyline incorporated that it lost its …

    Chose Articulate 360
    iSpring, I believe, was inspired by Articulate 360 upon their first launch. Triggers were intuitive to use and easily captured PowerPoint animations and triggers when importing them into the system.

    Chose Articulate 360
    The winning factor for Articulate 360 Rise was the ease of use and compatibility with Mac. I like the other 2, but iSpring requires a Windows-based computer and Captivate is pricier. Some other members of my organization use Articulate 360 Storyline, but I choose not to. It's …

    Chose Articulate 360
    Most of the other software don't have as many templates as Articulate 360. They are not as easy to use. Also, once you get an Articulate subscription, unless another software has a low price point or offers something unique there is no reason to change. I have not been …

    Articulate 360 does stack up to iSpring, however, iSpring was more willing to help during COVID-19. Adobe Presenter does help, however, it struggles with its library of graphics. As for course building, I have tried CourseArc (more like a Learning Management System), WhizCabin …

    Chose Articulate 360
    Articulate 360 provided a better experience than any of the other software programs out there that offered similar functionality. It was far easier to use than something like Captivate, while being similarly feature-rich. At the same time, it didn't lack the features of …

    Chose Articulate 360
    For the features and the price, you can't go wrong with Articulate 360. With the full suite of products, I have found that I use Rise to create simple courses and Storyline for more complex ones. After trialing Captivate and Storyline side by side, I found that creating was …

    iSpring Solutions, Inc
    Chose iSpring Suite
    Articulate 360 offers Storyline in their suite, which is a much better tool for customized and advanced e-learning development, iSpring could compete with them in the field of responsive authoring tool (iSpring Page) and tools for stakeholder's reviewing.

    Compared to other applications, iSpring Suite is based on PowerPoint and therefore on a familiar way of working for creating content for knowledge transfer. This basis facilitates a very simple and uncomplicated transition to the new tool for new users. New users are quickly …

    Chose iSpring Suite
    So much simpler. Integrates well with PowerPoint so there is little learning curve. Articulate is more powerful but that level of detail is not required for most applications. The learning curve with Articulate is much larger.
    Incentivized
    Chose iSpring Suite
    We have chosen iSpring Suite over Articulate partially due to cost but also iSpring Suite does not distort the PowerPoint templates we have made as it does not import them into itself rather it becomes a part of PowerPoint.

    Chose iSpring Suite

    When we were working with Articulate we needed some technical experts to create javascript commands to make courses, so we needed 3 weeks at least to finish one of them. With iSpring Suite, you just need to work with PowerPoint, and you can create a great course in just 1 week!
