    It is pretty well suited for information sharing. Where it lacks is training that requires discussions or a lot of complex thinking or decision-making. For content like that, we will usually host live sessions so we can facilitate discussions and actually hear from the learners on how they are using the material that they may have learned in a Rise course

    Pros
    Articulate Global Inc.
    • Each time I think of an idea for making the course more visually appealing or creative, Articulate 360 has already prepared the functionality.
    • The translation/localization feature is intuitive, fits our work flow, and works great.
    • The UI for Storyline and Rise are clear and intuitive.

    Cons
    Articulate Global Inc.
    • I would like to see features like video creating software within the tool.
    • Triggers could be made easier for new users. This may be solved with AI (i.e., tell AI what you want, and AI will create the trigger for you).

    This has been a huge time saver with all the new features. It has become a trusted platform for ease of use and reliability. Cost per license continues to stay at a good point for renewal. Using it to think outside of our current needs and innovate in a timely manner.

    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.

    Outside of having to dedicate a powerful enough PC for the installation and having to update Flash in our browsers there really isn't much pain involved in using Articulate. For the most part this is an easy to implement and roll-out product. The installation occurs quickly and smoothly with no additional steps needed.

    • The immersive 360 image activities allowed us to train our field engineers on dangerous topics and environments like electrical safety and on-site safety without even putting a hard hat on.
    • The new AI outline features have decreased our time-to-product by at least 30%
    • The use of a single suite of tools, (along with the creative cloud) led to decreased annual costs over alternative piecemeal solutions.
