Loving the new 360... except the price

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have been using Storyline 2 for the past several years (since I came onboard) and updated to 360 when it was released. We are one team of 6 (but rapidly growing to more than 10) instructional designers on campus and we use SL/360 to develop assets for faculty to use in their courses. We primarily use the SL app but will definitely be exploring the other apps in 360. We are thrilled about the addition of Ariculate Review in particular.
Pros
  • The addition of Articulate Review is a huge bonus for us. We have been struggling with the best way collaborate with faculty on eLearning, so this solves a big problem for us.
  • As always, the support from Articulate is stellar. They have already put out several new updates to 360 that we are excited about. In particular, they listened to users and made it so that folks do not have to sign in to 360 to review a course.
  • Articulate products are incredibly user friendly. This has not changed with 360. In fact, I think they added even more user-friendliness with some of the new apps.
Cons
  • We are in education and the price point will continue to be an issue for us. ISDs in other parts of campus are negotiating a contract with Adobe for Captivate licenses for under $200. While I believe that Articulate is a good buy, it is difficult to justify the cost to administration. I also am frustrated with the way pre-purchased upgrades were handled when switching to this new subscription based service. I think that the new pay structure will make this package pf products unattainable for many contractors, non-profits, small businesses, and education institutions.
  • I think some of these apps are redundant... do we really need Peek, and Studio, and Replay? I would like things to be a little more consolidated.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think the only time other eLearning software has an edge is if you need to create pieces that contain complicated mathematics on the back end. Otherwise, 360 really has something for everyone. Storyline is incredibly powerful and user friendly. The new apps make screencasting and video creation super simple. Review and the new content library really show up Captivate. Overall it's a great set of software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have utilized Articulate Rise and the Articulate 360 suite of services for a number of years, primarily in our programming department where we utilize it to build dynamic online content that is SCORM-compliant...for fully asynchronous, hybrid, and in-person learning settings. We have used it regularly to design curricula that serve learners of all ages, ranging from as young as middle school to adults in business settings. It allows us not only to design our own content but also to help our clients design their own curriculum and take ownership of the process themselves once they understand the features and benefits.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use curriculum design tools and features
  • SCORM-compliant design tools make it easy to host in multiple content management systems in use across multiple industries
  • User-friendly but also provides enough bells and whistles for those who want to go a bit deeper with their design work
Cons
  • Limitations when it comes to mobile content and mobile-friendly design
  • Some of the types of content that can be added to courses can be greatly improved when it comes to types of activities, formats for content, more interactive designs
  • Some solid templates available but their need to be more robust templates that are more engaging and less one-dimensional for modern online learners
Likelihood to Recommend
We have utilized Articulate Rise for our primary curriculum design platform for multiple years. Although it can look pricey compared with other free options, they do a great job of supporting nonprofit use and more cost-effective. By doing so, they continue to be the best in the industry when it comes to value relative to cost with a nice suite of content creation tools that can easily create an out-of-the-box online curriculum while still being easy to navigate for traditional teachers who may be extremely knowledgeable about curriculum development but not tech-savvy. The product could benefit from more content formats and activity types (doesn't seem to have been updated in years) and more authority and control over color/visual palettes and style.

It ain't cheap, but it's worth every penny.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Articulate Storyline to develop online learning courses that are deployed to our LMS. I do not know if it is being used by other departments, but I would imagine that it is. Everyone in our department uses it. Although it happened before I joined the department, I believe that management made the decision to use Storyline when Adobe announced that they would no longer support Flash.
Pros
  • The UI closely resembles the general UI that is used by Microsoft Office products. It is instantly familiar, decreasing the learning curve.
  • Storyline is very powerful. If you can imagine the design, you can develop it in Storyline. The built-in templates and player skins offer a wide variety of page layouts. I particularly like how Storyline organizes slides by scenes and provides a visual map to help you see the course navigation.
  • Storyline is not a resource hog. You can't simply install it on any machine, but you do not need a tricked-out rig with gaming specs to run. It runs very smoothly on an Intel i5 with 8gb of RAM with plenty of system resources available for Microsoft Office and Adobe applications to run in different windows.
  • Storyline output HTML is very clean. With other authoring tools, bad Javascript and poor CSS output really had a negative impact as you had to devise workarounds and implement patches for them to work with your LMS. Storyline is the closest authoring tool that I've found "just works."
Cons
  • I wish that you could customize the UI ribbons to bring features you use frequently to the front and to hide options you rarely use.
  • It would be great if there was a way for non-technical collaborators (SMEs, management, etc) to be able to open a *.story file directly and provide comments. You currently have to publish the course, load it to the LMS, update the LMS, and then hope that users can find it in the LMS. A Storyline Viewer/Previewer standalone application would be awesome.
  • The price is too high for freelancers to purchase and use. I no longer contract and work exclusively for the firm, but even with our resources, the high price limits the number of licenses available to use.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are designing eLearning and need to load content into an LMS, this tool is for you. If you are a web developer looking to develop websites, this tool is not for you. If you need a drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG interface, this tool is for you. If you are a coder who uses an IDE, this tool is not for you.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize Articulate Storyline to build interactive e-learning for our employees. These e-learning solutions have helped increase the knowledge of our company's industry, products, and services, as well as systems to help them better do their jobs. We utilize the software across the whole company and roll out new learning on a monthly basis.
Pros
  • Easy to build content.
  • Ability to utilize complex and logic-based workflows.
  • Lots of training and resources for designers.
  • Ability to customize completely.
Cons
  • Some limitations on dynamic customized movements.
Likelihood to Recommend
Articulate Storyline is best-in-class for building simplistic, sleek, and interactive e-learning. It is less effective in instances where you really need someone in the room teaching a class, but it would be the perfect prerequisite tool to accompany those types of trainings. It is also SCORM compliance and mobile-friendly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Within my independent contracting work, I use Articulate tools exclusively. With each new release, I always happily buy in to the next product as I know Articulate software never disappoints. Articulate 360 allows me to streamline my e-learning development process and makes client reviews a cinch! Without having to hop in and out of other tools/software, I can more efficiently do my job.
Pros
  • Articulate Review makes client reviews a whole lot less painful, and being able to publish individual scenes or slides in Storyline 360 helps contribute to this painlessness.
  • The Content Library is comprehensive and takes the guess work out of locating appropriate screen styles by providing a wide range of pre-built options...with triggers already built-in!
  • Articulate 360 is a one-stop-shop. With 9 amazing applications, I don't have much reason to go elsewhere!
Cons
  • With a subscription-based model, it would be nice to at least have the option to go month to month instead of only providing an annual option.
  • Some new feature adds for Storyline 360 would be a nice-to-have. For example, developers have been finding work arounds for closed captioning and JavaScript coding in Storyline for years...it would be nice to have some built-in functionality for these elements.
Likelihood to Recommend
Articulate 360 is well suited for organizations that will make use of, or leverage a broad range of features and functionality. Individuals who only use Studio or Storyline may be less likely to invest in 360 out of concern they won't use all of the applications, therefore making the subscription price unwarranted.
