    If you are looking for a charged LMS with extensive functionality for your business, then the matrix will definitely suit you. There is everything for the start and for the comfortable work further.If you need something simple to get started, then I advise you to look for other solutions.

    Well-suited:
    1. Building and keeping up to date modular content (blocks).
    2. Maintaining and updating large content library where meaning team members might be working on the same content but using the content in different context (e.g. learning and internal comms).
    3. Creating learning content by new/recently onboarded team members.
    4. Create simple learning courses with some level of interactively, medium interactivity (tabs, image maps, slider reveal images), create different types of knowledge checks/assessments from multiple choice to drag and drop activities); embed videos and other HTML elements .
    5. Integrate with LMS, apply SCORM rules etc
    6. Better to use in combination with other media creation tools like Vyond, Storyline. Some things can get tricky (compatibility).
    Less appropriate: 1. If you need to build highly interactive learning experience 2. When you don't have a team member you can dedicate specifically to customize templates in Xyleme for your organizational needs (looks, functionality etc.) or and to train team members on this software. You'd need someone on your team to collaborate with Xyleme closely to customize functions for your organization's needs. 3. When #2 and you want a modern/in trend looking output and not willing to compromise on what it looks and feels.

    MadCap Software
    • several features advertised as device agnostic or mobile friendly do not work properly on mobile
    • finicky in many ways, sometimes you need to tinker with details for to long to make things work properly
    • many UI solutions/elements that are not intuitive at all (even using the tool almost every day you need to make effort to remember how things are done)
