The mobile-first application, Rise 360, allows for seamless web publishing of e-learning projects.

Constellation West, for example, leverages Articulate Studio to create customized training courses for multiple departments, including corporate compliance and security briefings. Travel agencies also benefit from this software as it enables them to train individuals and evaluate their performance through quizzes and tests. Moreover, Articulate Studio proves invaluable in release training scenarios where frequent course updates are required. The software is widely used across departments within universities to develop interactive and engaging training modules.

One of the key advantages of Articulate Studio is its seamless integration with PowerPoint presentations, enhancing the immersion and interactivity of these materials. This feature makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a rapid eLearning development tool that saves time and money on course development. Notably, clients who already use Articulate Studio internally find it efficient for creating interactive learning materials quickly. With its small learning curve for PowerPoint users, Articulate Studio serves as the main authoring tool for developing simple yet engaging online courses that can be effortlessly updated by clients.

Overall, Articulate Studio has proven to be an easy-to-use e-learning solution for organizations looking to deploy computer-based trainings efficiently while aiding continuous improvement initiatives.

Comprehensive and versatile eLearning authoring tool: Users have found Articulate Studio to be a comprehensive and versatile eLearning authoring tool, with a wide range of features that cater to their needs. It has been praised for its ability to create engaging and interactive courses through built-in interactions and templates.

Time-saving import feature: The option to import royalty-free images and drawings directly into the software has been highly appreciated by users. This feature saves them time and effort in sourcing external media resources, allowing them to focus more on content creation.

Lack of Integration with Open Source Software: Some users have expressed disappointment in the lack of compatibility with open source presentation software that supports SVG graphics. They suggest that having integration with popular open source options would enhance the flexibility and capabilities of the software.

Inadequate Customer Support: Users find Articulate's customer support to be confusing and disappointing, as it is limited to a community board with minimal assistance and lacks options for opening support cases or tickets. They feel that this hinders their ability to receive timely and personalized assistance when encountering issues or seeking guidance.

Expensive Pricing Compared to Competitors: Several users feel that Articulate's products are costly compared to their rival Adobe. They believe that the high pricing may deter potential users from adopting Articulate's solutions, especially if they can find more affordable alternatives elsewhere.

Articulate Studio is very much a leader in the e-learning space. It stacks up well against other tools designed to quickly and easily build and update CBTs by managers and super-users versus needing to invest time and effort in dedicated e-learning developers. Process improvement initiatives and cross-functional departments are empowered to develop their trainings themselves and identify areas for future development.

We look at Captivate first, which Adobe oddly leaves out of its Creative Cloud suite, and I can see why it seems to be completely foreign in term of UI vs other Adobe products. The familiar PPT structure Captivate leverages is completely absent and the tools are much more rigid. Exporting was also more difficult - it's pretty night and day different. Captivate is AWFUL, especially for an Adobe product.

Several Adobe products combine to do the work of just Articulate Storyline, which is part of Articulate Studio. The comparison is not really one that is easy to make but if you needed to do something with these Adobe products, all of them can be done with just Storyline. The beauty of Articulate Studio is that there are parts of the suite for which there is no match in Adobe such as Review 360 and Content Library 360.

Articulate Studio is the only Power Point extension that I have used, however, during the product evaluation phase (prior to purchase) we did look Adobe Presenter but it seemed to be a bit expensive and not very user friendly. I think we even looked at working straight from scratch with an evaluation of Moodle but that too seemed to be a bit more than what we wanted to tackle.

Articulate Studio still beats the competition by including all the necessary tools and utilities to create a course, add the content, videos, and quizes all from one user-friendly GUI. Other software works good, but you will need two or three combinations to do what Articulate Studio does all-in-one. It does not slow down your system nor does it cost you half your homes value to obtain. It will run smoothly and is very easy to learn and understand.

Wondershare is the only other comparable piece of Learning authoring that I have used and it did not measure up in terms of the amount of options that are available for configuration. Wondershare had 2 or 3 things that it did very well, whereas Articulate Studio did all of those same things and more. In the powerpoint plugin eLearning space, Articulate Studio is King.

I actually use all 3 products, as they each have their strong points. For Release Training, Studio is our best choice because of the short turnaround times. That said, we use Camtasia to create the video demos needed, and insert the finished mp4 video into Studio. Studio has been great at supporting the included videos.

The main advantage of Articulate Studio, when compared to other tools (such as Lectora and Storyline), is the simplicity of use. There is no need of programming or advanced technical knowledge. Other tools are more flexible and advanced in terms of features but they also demand professionals with specific competencies, so the development process may become more complex and longer.

Adobe Captivate is the tool I prefer to deliver software tutorials. If a project requires interactive, or non-linear delivery, Articulate Studio has more tools, more options, and can deliver a better, more interesting project with less effort than Adobe Captivate.

I have used Captivate, Articulate Studio, Storyline 1 and StoryLine2 and participated in the beta tests for Articulate 360. Studio is the simplest of the items. I like any of the Articulate products more than Captivate. It has a steep learning curve and I don't think course change is nearly as easy if you need to do updates or changes.

There was nothing against other products. Our customer was already using Articulate Studio; therefore, we had to use the same product to continue their projects, update existing courses, and create new ones. All the tools I have used so far have their own strengths.

Each tool I mentioned has its pluses and minuses. The other tools aren't as easy to use right out of the box, Articulate is. Articulate has its limits and if I had a more complex course I needed to build I would choose one of the other products. But again for the easier projects that don't require much I would use Articulate.

  • iSpring
For a simple, quick course development and deployment, Studio is an excellent tool. Storyline creates more sophisticated results, and Captivate allows for excellent simulation-based courses, but for a typical, quick turnaround that doesn't require sims or sophistication, Studio is a great option. iSPring is a decent alternate, but I prefer Studio because of the eLearning Heroes community - you cant beat that!
