What is iSpring Suite?
iSpring Suite helps users build courses that are mobile-ready and adaptive. It’s integrated with PowerPoint, so users can create the content in the familiar PPT interface without spending time on specific training. The toolkit supports the creation of professional courses, video lectures, role-play simulations, and a range of assessments that display and work on any device.
With the iSpring Suite Max package, users have even more capabilities for creating eLearning content. It comes with a content library that includes 110,000+ eLearning assets and slide templates, and iSpring Cloud, a web service for collaboration on content.
In iSpring Cloud, users can collect feedback on content from stakeholders in real time. There’s also an additional authoring tool there that allows users to create courses with media and quizzes in the longread format.
iSpring Suite supports all classic and new eLearning standards: SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, AICC, cmi5, and Tin Can (xAPI). So, the content works in any learning management system.
iSpring Suite enables users to:
Create content for any training scenario. Make onboarding courses, assessments for certification, and simulations for sales training with a single toolkit.
- Save costs on hiring an entire range of roles. The toolkit is designed to enable one person can create quizzes, and record videos.
- Launch eLearning programs faster. Make the authoring process go faster with ready-to-go templates, characters, and backgrounds, and finalize projects more rapidly with an online space for collaboration.

iSpring Suite 11
- Easy to use
- Tests
- Interfaces with Training Applicaiton
- Great customer support
- Not sure yet. All good at this point
Fully satisfied
- I ran into a small technical problem and contacted the iSpring helpdesk. Problem solved in a short time. This pleased me very much, but it didn't surprise me. Every time I contact iSpring's subscription department or technical service, I've received polite, prompt, and very professional responses. I am therefore fully satisfied not only with the program but also with the assistance.
- When you work on the volume of a file and you want to modifie it, you have to di it one by one
- It has a variety of useful features (automated quizzes, interactions, simulations, text-to-voice, video and audio editing, templates and characters library, etc.)
- It allows you to use all the functionalities of PowerPoint
- Exceptional customer support
- Resources to support the users (a community, blog posts, webinars, etc.)
- Can't think of anything right now, perhaps more Romanian text-to-voice options :)
Easy to Use, great value
- Converts PowerPoint to interactive SCORM
- Converts Word books to HTML and keeps chapter organisation
- Allows for checking and confirming output before publishing
- I am happy with the product
iSpring is My Go To eLearning Software
- It handles video really well, eliminating playback issues.
- It allows users who develop advanced animations in PowerPoint to preserve their animations and provides superior playback.
- It enables the fastest development time possible.
- Enable developers to add numbering to answers in the Quiz Authoring tool
- Text-to-Speech. Recording voiceovers for a course is tough, time-consuming and taxing. However, the text-to-speech option resolves this and makes it much more convenient. The language options and accents are like icing on the cake.
- Ease of use. It is very easy to learn and interact with iSpring Suite. The content is well designed and organized.
- Interactions. An interactive course allows for a more engaging experience for the user. iSpring Suite offers numerous ways to create interactions, which elevate courses to higher potentials.
- Role Play Scenarios. Similar to interactions, role play scenarios allow specific scenarios to become interactive for the user. The possibilities allow for some unique creativity in design.
- When adding an Introduction to an interaction, it would be nice to have the option to include text-to-speech. You can add audio, but you have to import the audio file. So I have to record text-to-speech in a different program, save it and then import it into the interaction. The same is true for Role Play Scenarios. It's quite inconvenient.
- Screen-casting is great. However, the video effects are somewhat limited. For example, zooming in and out, text behaviors/effects, etc.
iSpring Suite is a terrific solution for instructional designers.
- integration with quizzes
- excellent preview of course
- easy to upload to LMS
- offers best customer service ever!
- everything has worked for me.
- there is a bit of a learning curve but customer support is fantastic.
iSpring Suite is Worth Investigating
- Develop custom navigation
- Manage narration files
- Maintain PowerPoint animations and interactions
- Use overlays in embedded videos to pause and display additional information
- More robust video tools
- More examples for using web objects effectively
Value, ease, speed. iSpring makes me look good
The iSpring package enables me to quickly ramp a smaller group of folks up to use iSpring - its easy! Then I developed a parallel processing scheme to leverage that smaller group with a larger group of SME/courseware developers. We've developed around 200 learning products thus far, and quickly counting.
Tech support is very responsive, customer feedback is great, and the courses look professional, with good interactive, quizzing, and branching features.
- Simple, easy-to-learn development package
- Powerful enough to create very good learning material relatively quickly
- good, very responsive tech support
- 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.
iSpring Suite Review
- Great help with Quizzes
- Excellent content of pictures and graphics
- Great customer support
- Fantastic customer support
- make the installation process just a little clearer to new customers
Best customer service
- Fast, excellent customer service
- Amazing functionality
- Easy to learn
- I like to use the design ideas from powerpoint but some of these are not compatible.
iSpring - an user friendly e-learning solution
- It is easy to learn how to use it.
- The Customer service is fast and reliable.
- Tutorials are available.
- It is regularly updated.
- Gallery - pictures, backgrounds and characters could be expanded.
- It would be great to have more slide templates available.
iSpring to the rescue during COVID quarantine!
- Audio / Narration Edits in PowerPoint.
- Quiz Development.
- Publishing to a Variety of LMS Platforms.
- The software is in constant revision, so if you search for help online, be sure you are researching the correct revision. There is a lot of debris information about iSpring Suite online.
- The Presentation and Publishing features are somewhat intimidating at first. Be sure you pay attention to every detail. The training I develop is pretty standardized, so I was able to write instructions for myself to follow to ensure each instance was set up the same way each time.
- There are a lot of 'extras' I never use, such as characters and interactions, so be sure your style of training development is aligned with what iSpring has to offer.

Produce Professional e-Learning with iSpring Suite
- iSpring Suite is very easy to use. Anyone who can build engaging PowerPoint slides can create professional looking e-learning assets.
- The quiz marker in iSpring Suite provides many ways to easily build engaging assessments. Questions can be used in multiple quizzes. Feedback and branching can be added to questions.
- The documentation for iSpring Suite is extremely helpful and very thorough. Many software companies cut corners here but iSpring Suite has a full set of searchable well organized help documents. They don't make you watch videos.
- iSpring Suite only works in a Windows environment. I would love to see support for iOS. As a Mac user, I had to set up a Windows drive to use this product. Now I just use a separate Windows machine, but that isn't always possible for everyone.
- I'd like to see more options to select multiple objects when performing an operation, or some keyboard shortcuts. I have to do a lot of mousing and multiple clicking when editing slide properties, building quizzes, and creating interactions.
- When I open the quiz builder or interactions builder, the window doesn't resize when I move it to a second monitor from my laptop screen. I have to manually resize the window every single time. This doesn't happen when adding sound files, which is also a separate interaction.
- I'd like the system to remember where I was instead of taking me to the top of the screen or start of the interaction.
iSpring Suite is less suited for large operations that are deeply committed to other products and may have sophisticated development processes. There is not any sophisticated programming available.
Currently we are using the iSpring Market LMS to serve our content. There is a lack of any reporting for web events, and there are no APIs available.
iSpring - Support is there when you need it.
- Customer support is outstanding - regardless of day or night. They recently announced text to speech function, and I did not know exactly how to implement. A quick chat with Support and I was on my way. I could not have asked for more.
- I'd like to see text to speech available in questions and simulations.
iSpring rocks for content creation!
- Converting Powerpoint to HTML5
- Easily upload to the Cloud
- Many features that make it an "total package"
- More options and versatility for question types
- Questions do not always show properly on mobile devices
- Help functions directly in the software
Extremely well supported add-on to PowerPoint, providing e-learning facilities with little additional effort!
- Simple but powerful enough add-on to PowerPoint, which is the de facto standard for presentations.
- Narrations can be simply added and edited.
- Output to multi-platform compatible format is simple, yet very robust.
- Incorporation of quizzes adds a nice part of interactivity.
- A fantastic support service! Very alert and to the point. You never feel "lost."
- I would like it to be operational on Cloud-synced drives. The current bookkeeping of the additional folders and files, tends to get corrupted (losing narrations and quizzes) through simple processes or syncing issues. Once you know what you cannot do, it works very nicely.
- I am still looking for a good presentation tool that allows me to have the end-viewer run (Python) code interactively, but that is a very peculiar request, I admit.
- Maybe there is still some more room for educational discounts, especially in providing even better group discounts.
A powerful PowerPoint add-on, and so much more
- Based on PowerPoint, it leverages all of that tool but also brings a LOT of new features.
- Publish SCORM compliant, HTML5 courses for most any LMS.
- Technical support is awesome.
- Frequent free webinars with important eLearning industry topics.
- iSpring folder structure must be maintained, need rigorous best practices.
- Online collaboration is limited.
- Printing of complete courses, including nested interactions and quizzes, is not possible.
- No native text-to-speech capability.
Easy and user-friendly authoring tool.
- Works with MS PowerPoint well
- There are many resources (PPT template, characters are very useful in making course contents).
- 24 hrs service center is very helpful. Responsive and kind support.
- Easy interface to both course makers and course viewers.
- iSpring Page can be upgraded to integrate with h5p contents.
- I can't edit ppt slides while working on quizzes or interactions. Sometimes, I have to go back to other slides when making a quiz, but when working on a quiz, it does not allow me even to go to the PPT file.
- It would be great to have a library of photos.
- It would be fantastic if there is voice-over (text-to-speech) program in it.
- It would be great to have function in the player that viewers can adjust narration speed.
Great product for e-learning with great customer service reps!
- iSpring is easy to use.
- They provide great customer service.
- Easily allows you to publish content compatible with both computers and mobile devices.
- I wish that when I went to open a file, I didn't have to search for it again once iSpring opens. I would like for it to just open directly.
- There seems to be an issue after publishing with the font being "squished" a bit. So when I use underlining (or have a hyperlink) I often need to add a bit more space before the next line, otherwise the underlining cuts into the next line a bit.
