Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Captivate
The training and development team at my organization utilizes Adobe Captivate to deliver e-learning training modules that are completed by staff members of the entire organization. My organization's training programs are audited and Adobe Captivate allows us to effectively deliver content for annual trainings, process improvement, and job-specific knowledge in an engaging platform that is cost-effective for our learners.
- It is extremely easy to import existing media materials into Captivate. My organization has pictures of leadership and the training team that are used as characters within modules and it is extremely easy to manipulate these images within the program.
- Manipulating multiple pieces of content at the same time within a slide is very easy.
- The software simulation feature within Captivate allows screens within an application to be captured and learners can be assessed easily through the simulations as well.
- Audio can be added quickly and edited within the program as well.
- We upgraded from Captivate 7 to Captivate 8 a few months ago and the interactions options are very limited. Interactions themselves are challenging to configure.
- Additional built-in shapes would add value.
- Quiz configuration is something that I find to be challenging, especially when exporting to SCORM. I wish quizzing and reporting was easier to use, but having many options is helpful for different LMSs and other areas of delivery.
- I am not familiar with the exact cost that my organization pays for the product, but it assists with the exact same trainings being delivered for staff who work in different office locations, in the field, and remotely.
