iSpring Suite is more suited to create PPT based content. It doesn't handle long text with the ease Articulate does. iSpring Suite has a less steep learning curve than Articulate.
Both of the above-mentioned products are pricier and while they may deliver more advanced featured, iSpring is capable of delivering satisfactory results.
iSpring is a simple to use tool that uses Microsoft Office skills currently learned. Even after 4 weeks of not using iSpring, you can jump right in and get great quality output

Chose iSpring Suite
Great support, easy to use, and a great time saver!
iSpring is superior in ease of use and speed of development. iSpring is easier to learn and implement. iSpring has the best support of any tool I have used.
I use both Camtasia and iSpring Suite. Camtasia has far superior video editing capabilities, and iSpring Suite has far superior eLearning features. I often create a video or screencast in Camtasia, edit it, and then import it into iSpring Suite. They both complement each other …
Please see earlier responses, which featured this aspect. If TrustRadius provided an overview of all questions to be asked (perhaps in a sidebar to the right) during this evaluation, I could have more effectively organized my responses.

Chose iSpring Suite
iSpring Suite is much easier to use. It is compatible with all other systems we are using for learning.
iSpring has more functionality and more controls for how I set up my lessons. It works on mobile devices. The customer service is the best I have ever experienced.

Chose iSpring Suite
So much easier to get up and running. The video editing I think is better. The only thing I think was better in Captivate was the graphics and clip art.
When we were working with Articulate we needed some technical experts to create javascript commands to make courses, so we needed 3 weeks at least to finish one of them. With iSpring Suite, you just need to work with PowerPoint, and you can create a great course in just 1 week!
iSpring Learn has proven to be an efficient way to manage all of our course offerings, track user interactions, and develop meaningful reports related to user progress through our courses.
This is one of the best authoring tools in the market. As a strong user of most of them, we ran across iSpring Suite years ago when the product was still evolving. Who would have thought that having these tools embedded inside PowerPoint would make such an impact? There is nothing I can't do with iSpring Suite that others claim is unique to their authoring products, and some things that I can do even better.
Adding audio narration to interactive slides is easy, but still perhaps a bit repetitive/clunky
The way you add playlists works well, but wish it was "project/course specific", instead of carrying over from project to project. Easy to delete playlists, tho.
If you have a common set of learner resources to make available over many courses, you must manually add the URLs and/or PDFs manually each time. Would be so nice to be able to create a "reference list" and import it to each course with a click or two. This is the most annoying thing I can think of about iSpring.
The software integration was appealing to our department--particularly to the faculty who had not, prior to the pandemic, taught online--because it integrates with an already known entity: PowerPoint. Furthermore, iSpring's assessment builder with its wide variety of questions is extremely easy to use--basically plug and play--for any level of comfort that a faculty member has in terms of online teaching.
I had a difficult issue where iSpring just stopped working. It turned out to be a Microsoft Windows/Office issue. The iSpring Support team continued to contact me until we got the issue resolved. A support team that does not wait for the customer to call back is EXCEPTIONAL. I can not think of any other vendor that was this devoted to finding a solution! My compliments to "Dana" and the rest of the iSpring support teasm!
Therer are several other interactive video creation tools out there, such as Camtasia, Adobe Captivate and even PowerPoint on its own, but none of them come close to offering the galaxy of features that is served up by iSpring Suite, and it's the easiest to learn and use with affordable price tags
We allow potential customers to sample training and feedback is our offerings differentiate us from our peers.
Having the ability to offer an accessible training catalog and self-enrollment is also something our customers comment on positively.
The training developed in iSpring has allowed our customers to prepare for further interaction with our processes and projects on their own timeline, and has positively impacted the ease with which we are able to execute project rollouts.
