Considered Both Products
iSpring Suite
Chose iSpring Suite
The ability to update data independently is the best feature. It saves a lot of time.
Chose iSpring Suite
Our primary course and quiz creator was using Google Forms - iSpring Suite is several times better. Easier to use and makes more engaging content instead of bland questions that are easily ignorable by the user.
Chose iSpring Suite
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
If you know PowerPoint, you know iSpring Suite. Not only is there a big learning curve with the other software, it also meant to us to start from scratch with our PowerPoints, which would have taken weeks to do. I can't state enough how big of a deal it is that it's all within …
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.
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
iSpring Suite is the only product I've used since I've been in my current role and I'm glad for that. It was so easy to learn and so easy to become proficient with that it makes hard for me to even imagine a product exists that will work better for me.
Chose iSpring Suite
When comparing features, price point and ease of use, there was no question which I was choosing. iSpring Suite offered more features and was the easiest to use. Additionally, it was one of the most cost conscious choices. It was a no brainer!
Chose iSpring Suite
iSpring Suite is far superior.
Chose iSpring Suite
This is our first software purchased on this aspect.
Chose iSpring Suite
Captivate was, I feel, for my experienced users and for a more professional level of course that our organisation did not require at this time. It was too daunting to learn it all to create simple courses fast Easy Generator - too expensive for our needs. iSpring Suite has a …
Chose iSpring Suite
In my opinion, Proprofs is not user friendly, and their support has not been helpful in the past especially with interfacing with other applications.
Chose iSpring Suite
lower cost, instant usability.
Chose iSpring Suite
We need Powerpoint compatibility because we can develop the training modules faster. Compared to all the authoring tools we have tried, iSpring is the most Powerpoint-friendly.
Chose iSpring Suite
I think iSpring Suite is just soooo much easier to learn and use than Captivate. It just adds a plugin to PowerPoint and is very intuitive to use. I found Captivate difficult to figure out, and a lot more expensive.
Chose iSpring Suite
We find Adobe Captivate looks outdated, is clunky, has a terrible user interface and is not flexible.
Chose iSpring Suite
iSpring Suite is wayyyy easier to use and does all I need.
Chose iSpring Suite
For us, it's really important to have the freedom to innovate by freeing our creativity through the functions offered by iSpring Suite. Other solutions don't offer the same flexibility as iSpring Suite, and for us this was an important factor in our choice of the Ispring …
Chose iSpring Suite
I did my research a while ago and liked the ease with which it integrated into the PowerPoint presentations as I have a lot already prepared. Will be able to update them all in time to the new format.
Chose iSpring Suite
We've used Techsmith's "Camtasia" product, but only for video creation. It has a more powerful interface and feature-set, but none of the other tools that are in iSpring Suite.
Chose iSpring Suite
Is less words the offline system presents only these having to generate the scorm files which had conflicts and upload them and test them and test and test and test, while the creation of the scorm offers a feasibility to preview the scorm without the need to upload it to the …
Renaissance myON
Chose Renaissance myON
These two products work very well together as well as by themselves. myON Reader gets some good support from myON News. After students read articles, the program suggests books in myON Reader for them to continue reading on that particular subject. myON Reader has a good …
Chose Renaissance myON
Renaissance myON is hands down the best as compared to Epic. I am allowed to consistently monitor my students. I am able to print reports to help evaluate student progress. I can also use these reports during parent/teacher conferences so parents and guardians can see where …
Chose Renaissance myON
I like that myOn is connected to all of our resources on Renaissance. The STAR assessments will recommend books at the student's level. They are connected, so students can take an AR quiz when they are done reading. Epic is not designed to do those things.
Chose Renaissance myON
Epic is far easier to use, with more engaging titles and a user-friendly platform.
Chose Renaissance myON
All the Renaissance products are so user friendly and have the ability to fit into any educator's classroom needs. [Renaissance] myON [Reader] goes hand in hand with Accelerated Reader and easily links the quizzes for the students to access. My students have stayed so engaged …
Chose Renaissance myON
Renaissance Accelerated Reader and Renaissance Star Assessments
Chose Renaissance myON
I like Accelerated Reader because it shows the comprehension level the students have after they read a book. However, I like myON because it just does a few more things than AR-- it goes above and beyond, and you are really able to see the growth your student has made on a …

myON is a good program for all students in the middle grades. Using the suggested readings, several of our EL students have increased their vocabulary as well as overall reading proficiency in English by at least 1/2-1 grade equivalent within a school year.

Pros
  • Great range of images to use to show real people in the slides across the slideset because of the number of different actions they are doing

Cons
  • The software is in constant revision, so if you search for help online, be sure you are researching the correct revision. There is a lot of debris information about iSpring Suite online.
  • The Presentation and Publishing features are somewhat intimidating at first. Be sure you pay attention to every detail. The training I develop is pretty standardized, so I was able to write instructions for myself to follow to ensure each instance was set up the same way each time.
  • There are a lot of 'extras' I never use, such as characters and interactions, so be sure your style of training development is aligned with what iSpring has to offer.

  • I could never figure it out.
  • Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON.
  • The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers.
  • I am fairly tech-savvy, but I could never navigate through and understand how myON worked. Eventually, I gave up and switched to Epic.
  • The book selection was poor. Only the non-fiction books were interesting to my students. None of the popular titles and authors were available.
  • It was a big disappointment and frustration for me and my students.

Usability
iSpring Suite is a perfect tool overall to create contents in collaboration with colleagues. There are some difficulties though in usability but the usability is OK in total. We are fully satisfied with the customer support. There are simple online tutorials and a team of competent support colleagues. The support content is sometimes not simply accessible, you need to search for them longer.

Support Rating
Great software is only exceeded by their fantastic support. Prompt responses, complete with clearly outlined steps to follow, are just the beginning. There are tremendous resources and continual webinars to challenge what we think we know about the iSpring Suite. I often use PowerPoint to lay out marketing slides, add music and narration, then publish them as an MP4 video. I can count on iSpring support to assist me when I need help.

I believe this product provides students with faster and easier access to books. This increases their time spent on task reading. myON reader is a product that is great for students and teachers.
If there are any issues and concerns while using myON, there are many help resources available to offer assistance.
myON Reader works so well with the rest of the Renaissance Platform. This consistency is great for everyone!

All the Renaissance products are so user friendly and have the ability to fit into any educator's classroom needs. [Renaissance] myON [Reader] goes hand in hand with Accelerated Reader and easily links the quizzes for the students to access. My students have stayed so engaged while reading/listening to fun books on different topics for class. They love the fact that they can listen to the books while following along in the digital book. This helps my struggling readers have success.

Return on Investment
  • The ROI on this product has been great
  • It has enhance my reputation personally within the organization. This has led to other departments requesting me by name to head up eLearning development projects, even delaying their own deadlines to ensure that I am involved.
  • Other than a few duds (I let some inexperienced vocal talent slip thru in the heat of multiple conflicting deadlines), learner feedback has skyrocketed over that developed before I became involved and standardized the effort on iSpring

  • Students continued to read on their level and were motivated by all of the books being an AR book with a quiz and points to earn.
