Camtasia has a low enough cost to where it could be used in conjunction with Articulate 360 (create videos to embed in the course); now that Storyline 360 can publish MP4 files, this may not be necessary unless you want a different look and feel that Camtasia offers.
Articulate 360 has the total package vs the other tools. If you just wanted to do video, you can use tools like Camtasia. Another elearning tool I have tried is called Viewlet Builder. It was a very stripped down version of a Storyline type software where you could create …
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 …

With some recent updates to Snagit, TechSmith (the parent company of both products) has done a great job adding features and functions to allow Snagit users to create simple screen capture videos. If you need to actually edit the footage, then Camtasia is the way to go. If …
Captivate and Storyline does not compare when it comes to screen captures. They may have similar capabilities, but they do not always work well. Camtasia works flawlessly when it comes to screen captures. Adobe Premiere Pro is a different story. For simple edits, Camtasia is …
Although it may not have all the bells and whistles Adobe Premiere Pro has or the flexibility of Storyline 360, for the amount of money it cost, you can still do some pretty amazing things with this software. If you are at all interested to see what I have done with it, I will …
