Considered Both Products
Articulate 360
Chose Articulate 360
I think Lectora is really hard to use and figure out. I have assisted someone building a course on Lectora, and it was difficult to figure out compared to Storyline.
Chose Articulate 360
Gomo, Lectora, Regis, branchtrack are all tools that excel at certain things but storyline 360 does it all.
Chose Articulate 360
We needed a responsive product. Lectora took too much time and the result looked bad.
Chose Articulate 360
For me, since I had used Articulate prior to using Lectora, I found Lectora to be very archaic. It was cumbersome to create triggers, and I had issues getting my scenarios to play correctly. My company switched to Articulate after my request, and I was able to recreate all of …
Chose Articulate 360
No comparison. Much, much better in every way
Chose Articulate 360
The ease of use and built-in functionality of A360 makes it a much stronger and (I think) more capable toolset.
Chose Articulate 360
I think Articulate 360 is light years ahead of this product. There is no comparison what so ever.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate makes collaborating and working within online learning creation so simple.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate 360 is the best design tool in the industry
Chose Articulate 360
No comparison. Rise is so much easier to build courses with because of block insertion, and for more complex course needs, Storyline is quite intuitive after you have overcome the initial learning curve.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate 360 has moved forward with the times fluently. Captivate has failed and it's new version is just so un user friendly. Articulate is just fluidly mobile and offers option.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate is way more user friendly and not as complex as some of the other tools on the market.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate 360 is much more user friendly, modern, and has more features and integrated products.
Chose Articulate 360
It is not even close. Articulate 360 is better. Except there are times that I can do more with custom code.
Chose Articulate 360
Articulate really has market hold and for me, it’s primarily because of the overall usability and features compared to competing tools.

Articulate 360 is great for online courses, courses for an LMS, courses that use media, text to speech audio, interactive items. Courses can be translated into other languages quickly. You can bring in outside media into the course pretty easily. The layouts are professional looking and blocks can be copied easily and repeated as needed.

Pros
Articulate Global, Inc.
  • 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.

Cons
Articulate Global, Inc.
  • Feature suggestions take a long time to be added to the software
  • Would like to see deeper options for some of the learner engagement activities (Drag and drop, sliders, etc. )
  • Occasionally will not save as expected, and you have to create a copy to keep working on a project

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.

Usability
Articulate Global, Inc.
Usability is where Articulate shines. Anyone who has ever built a PowerPoint can open the tool and quickly understand how to use it. The more complex aspects of the tool are also very user-friendly, but you can build great content without ever going into advanced variables or JavaScript.

Support Rating
Articulate Global, Inc.
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.

Online Training
Articulate Global, Inc.
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.

Implementation Rating
Articulate Global, Inc.
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.

I have not used any other elearning development software other than Articulate 360. Though, I have seen demos of other products and while they are great, they still don’t seem to be as great as Articulate 360. This opinion also shows up in other places like product reviews and instructional design groups on Facebook.
