Articulate Global Inc.
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

It's excellent at taking a script and turning it into a video, which is huge for me. The output looks professional - maybe not as polished as you'd get from a human expert but much quicker and cheaper. Supposedly it does really well at avatars/talking heads too, but I don't really need it for that. The branching and interactive videos sound really exciting, but unfortunately without making them wcag accessible, I wouldn't really be able to implement them

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).

  • lack of realistic AI (vs what Synthesia offers). NEO 2 is the answer BUT limited
  • lack of mods (like animations for the texts / images)
  • Better voice mods too, too many robotic voices especially in different language than English. Need more adjustment we can do.

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.

Usability

I love the tool and while I do use others, this is my go to for Rise and Storyline. While Rise is very easy to use, Storyline is a learned platform. I do not have anyone on my team, yet, and will need to catch new ID up to speed which is why I rated 9

Compared to Synthesia, things don't "just work" the way you expect them to. Don't get me wrong, it feels like a good v1 product. But there are a lot of tiny performance and usability niggles that waste my time to find workarounds for

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Articulate Global Inc.
Articulate 360 is the industry leader for e-learning authoring. While we use the Adobe Creative Suite for artistic support, we find that when it comes to authoring tools, Articulate products are superior in both design and accessibility. Articulate 360 has strong support behind it and has deep educational resources for new and intermediate users.

The biggest help Colossyan has had is being able to import PowerPoint presentations that can quickly be converted into videos. That has been a huge time saver for when there are quick deadlines for videos that need to be sent out to employees. It has saved us hours of work every day, which has allowed us to focus on other projects.

Return on Investment
Articulate Global Inc.
  • 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.
