Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Captivate

Adobe Captivate was the first-course builder that Molina healthcare had, multiple business segments were using it for their training needs. It was being used when instructional design, especially when the instructional design was created as a methodology it was used company-wide for all business segments for all training to go online.

Pros

  • Has built in animations and characters
  • Has lots of presets

Cons

  • It's very outdated; everything about it is outdated
  • No support from adobe due to how dated it is
  • No longer supporter
  • Can't migrate content
It doesn't. Storyline is far superior in every way, the only reason I gave this is a five is that I know some organizations are still using it due to their size, but against the competition it doesn't stand a chance, I wouldn't recommend this as a buy. I mentioned earlier that it might be better to go with an authoring tool that some LMS systems like Lessonly have built-in.
Only small size to medium size organizations that started out with this still use it, it's no longer supported, and it's just a dated system. I gave it a five because it's not worthless, but it is obsolete, one is better off either getting Storyline or purchasing an LMS with a built-in authoring tool.

No

No

Did Adobe Captivate live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Adobe Captivate go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Captivate again?

No

Organizations aren't using this anymore, there are some older, maybe smaller businesses that are still using it, but this product is not suited for any workplace environment. At this point, you are better off using an LMS that has a course builder in it or utilizing something like the Articulate Storyline. Adobe Captivate is just a dated program.
