Articulate 360 vs. Ideagen Workplace Training

Great for creating eLearning games and online puzzle games (like an escape room). Not great for traditional video games - stick to puzzle-type interactions. The various interaction types open the door for the creation of fun and engaging games (again - eLearning).

When government guidelines suggested staff work from home, the home working course was enabled on our user accounts and it created a timely [way] to gather data and react in light of the pandemic. Certain health and safety training is not covered specifically to our company policies in courses, but we have recently received the legionella risk course and are aware of a course builder which could also house this need.

• Unrivaled Power and Customization. After 15 years in the training industry, Storyline 360 remains my favorite tool because it is, simply put, the most powerful authoring tool I have ever used, giving me complete creative control.
• Advanced Interactivity. I love being able to 'overengineer' content using Triggers, Variables, States, and Layers, which allows me to build the most sophisticated and deep functionality.
• Superior to Basic Tools. Storyline's capability to build detailed branching scenarios and realistic simulations sets it leaps and bounds apart from basic tools like PowerPoint, which is essential for high-impact training.

• Houses CPD accredited training which can be used to train our employees.
• For our organization, the use of single sign on allows our users to easily access the platform without any hassle and it works on different devices which allows for flexibility when completing a course.
• Provides great tools for achieving completion from our employees on the training assigned to them such as a clear training course with attractive infographics to keep our users engaged when using.
• Unique and pro-active work force: our account manager Bianca has always displayed care, support and professionalism during every conversation with timely actions turned around from any meetings.

• 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).

• The reporting system can be initially confusing to use unless you receive training - which we did with our account manager and are now confident in getting reports.

I haven't seen any other platform for developing learning materials that is as comprehensive or as reliable as Articulate has proven to be for our use. Because our group has a number of PowerPoint power users, the PowerPoint integration with Articulate is particularly beneficial.

Overall, the usability and feature set of Articulate 360 is best of class. The interface is user friendly despite the incredible depth of creative tools available. Onboard help is always available, as well as a huge catalog of educational resources for using both Rise and Storyline. Two screens always helps for creating projects with many elements due to the real estate required for the timeline.

It would be 10 but for the fact that sometimes, the transition from training to test is not smooth. The user can finish the course but not be prompted to proceed to doing the test. This makes us have incomplete Profiles on the system sometimes. The issue with this is that some people might not receive their DSE equipment.

I rate the overall support for Articulate 360 ​​with a 9. On the one hand because of the smooth and accurate support from Articulate's support team (usually within 24 hours) and on the other because of the commitment / use of a community (e-learning Heroes) where I have all kinds of insights from other helpful users.

The instructors don't know how to use it.

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.

Articulate 360 is very easy to use and can create a variety of different media and interactive activities - more than Camtasia. Camtasia is very video centered. Articulate 360 can use video but it can also use still photos, audio, interactive content, and allows users to go through courses in different, non-linear ways.

Easy to use. Cheap. It has a lot of features.
