Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Captivate
I create eLearning for corporate and operating company employees.
- It allows me to create my own ideas without using templates.
- It works well with other Creative Cloud software so that I can create beautiful slides.
- It does what you tell it to do. If it doesn't behave the way you expect, it's almost always a user error. Once you learn how to use it, you have lots of control.
- It's a steep learning curve for new users.
- Learning curve is so steep, those who aren't tech savvy won't even try to learn.
- It doesn't upload PowerPoint well (not that I'd do that, but some would like to).
- Easy to upload into SCORM
- Easy to improve upon PowerPoints as training
- Powerful
- We bought licenses for a lot of folks who refused to learn it due to its difficulty...negative financial consequence.
- I was able to show the department how training should look...positive.
Studio was so awful, we had to go to something else. Captivate was a great replacement.
