SM Sheila Murphy Sr. Analyst Chose Articulate 360 I have only been in this position since February of 2022. I know our group has looked at Adobe and prefers Articulate 360. I also use Vyond.

Incentivized Helpful? Ilyssa Russ Senior learning and development manager Chose Articulate 360 Adobe Captivate has a ton of incredible functionality.

AA Armando Arviso instructional technology technician Chose Articulate 360 When a developer is trying to build training materials it happens in two scenarios.

Marti Stemm Corporate Training Manager Chose Articulate 360 With the older version of Captivate, do not like the learning curve. Articulate 360 eliminates that obstacle.

David Tait Director \| E-Learning Design and Development Chose Articulate 360 I have worked extensively in Adobe Captivate and found it to be much more of a challenge than Articulate 360. The learning curve is greater in Captivate and I found that far more steps and workarounds were required to create comparable interactions than in Articulate products. … Helpful? Keith Lillico, M.Ed, MBA Owner/Independent Instructional Designer Chose Articulate 360 Articulate 360 the industry standard.

Verified User Administrator Chose Articulate 360 There is no comparison in my book.

Jonathan Delgado HS Teacher Chose Articulate 360 I love Articulate 360 and prefer to use it over Canvas which my company currently uses.

PM Phil Mayor Director Chose Articulate 360 Articulate 360 is a much more intuitive program when compared to Adobe Captivate. Also, there are more development options in 360 over captivate. Storyline, when compared directly with Captivate, is much easier to use and the overall experience is more cohesive. Helpful?

No need for anything else! Helpful? Veronica Budnikas Founder and Lead Developer Chose Articulate 360 I was an Adobe Captivate user before I switched to Articulate.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Articulate Global, Inc. I am not a fully trained instructional designer, but I found the user experience to be enjoyable. I have crafted my own revision of a course using Articulate 360 and while the process was lengthy, I found edits and changes to be relatively easy to implement. I also had a great deal of fun making tweaks, organizing and adding imagery. I think with regard to creating online courses/products for students to utilize, this is a great program and serves several levels of instructional design well (from me being brand new to this, to my supervisor who is newly certified, up to a longtime LD). I don't know that this is wholly relevant to courses that are live, be they in-person or virtual (Zoom webinars for example). Most of the material created in Articulate 360 tends to sit on the side of an on-demand, at-your-own-pace as far as coursework is concerned. A live course with an instructor, while it could be utilized in a live setting, the way it would be used I am unsure would be as dynamic or worthwhile as other more traditional options.

Pros	Articulate Global, Inc. Rise is clean and professional. It looks polished to users and is easy for learners to follow. They have outstanding support. Storyline allows you to create some very engaging intricate interactive learning. Generally, their products are user friendly. They are considered the Gold standard in elearning authoring. Their courses can be read on phones, tablets computers. etc. They also have a powerpoint add in for making really nice slides. Their review tool, allows you to easily send the courses to reviewers who can update in course. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Articulate Global, Inc. I'd like to see more variety in the types of interactions available. The ones that exist now (hot spot, drag n' drop, flip cards, etc.) are useful, but it would be nice to have more options without having to build something custom in Storyline to pull over. For example, I'd like a more elaborate sorting activity, customizable drag and drop activity, game options such as crosswords, options that allow user response, and more variety in the quizzing and assessment. The built-in branching scenario feature requires a bit of trial and error. I'd like to see a snapshot, at-a-glance view of the scenario so it easier to see where the branching is, or where its missing. The built-in assessment features are pretty limited - the Knowledge Check block has only multiple choice, multiple response, fill in the blank and basic matching. There is the option to pull in a test bank which is great, but it would be great to have more options built-in without having to develop something more elaborate in Storyline.

Likelihood to Renew	Articulate Global, Inc. Articulate 360 is an essential tool in our organisation's workflow. The money that we make through its use, far outweighs the cost of renewing our licenses. Articulate 360 has exposed us to new clients that we may not have otherwise encountered if we did not subscribe to the Articulate services. David Tait Director \| E-Learning Design and Development Read full review
Usability	Articulate Global, Inc. I rate the overall usability of Articulate 360 with an 8, because of the many possibilities the software offers me. The software ensures that almost anyone without knowledge of coding can develop an interactive online course in a fairly simple and pleasant way. Paul Alders Owner/Founder Read full review
Support Rating	Articulate Global, Inc. It took forever to get someone to respond--either by email or by phone--directly to a pricing and licensing question. It is unfortunate that a company that has such potential as a streamlined course building/authoring tool not only missed the boat with service but also proves itself to be all fluff and no substance.

Implementation Rating	Articulate Global, Inc. 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 Incentivized Marti Stemm Corporate Training Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Articulate Global, Inc. Adobe Captivate has a ton of incredible functionality. You're able to fully customize user experiences through interactive elements, buttons, transitions, hiding and activating various elements, and so on. But overall Captivate is insanely difficult for someone new to the tool to learn. Most of what I learned about Captivate, I had to do by trial and error or by watching Paul Wilson's YouTube videos. I find Articulate 360 to be far more intuitive Incentivized Ilyssa Russ Senior learning and development manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Articulate Global, Inc. I am an independent user so far so no ROI; however it has clearly made a positive impact on my course as my students love the clear navigation interface and know exactly where to find content. On point to consider is that it has no forum option on its lesson option so this hinders some asynchronous users from interacting with others on the course. Users have expressed many positive feedback from using Articulate 360 which increases productivity and engagement. Incentivized Jonathan Delgado HS Teacher Read full review
