Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Captivate

We use Adobe Captivate to author all of our e-Learning courses. Specifically, we use Adobe Captivate to create SCORM shells that contain multiple slides and videos, and we use it for the interactive assessment options such as interactive video, hot spot assessments, knowledge checks, etc.. We use Adobe Captivate to meet needs for knowledge share, skill training, and behavior leaning.

  • Our company works in wireless retail. Users who completed our Adobe Captivate training on the Motorola Edge product were over 130% more likely to sell one or more Motorola Edge devices within the first month of product launch..
I think that Articulate360 is more user-friendly and has a cleaner, more updated look. If you can edit a PDF, then you can use Articulate 360. Adobe Captivate may be more challenging for the designer, but it has more features. We chose Adobe Captivate because we want the option to create interactive learning environments. Adobe Captivate plays well with the other Adobe design products including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier. Additionally, Adoe Captivate is highly compatible with Cornerstone, our preferred Learning Management Systems.

Adobe Captivate is well-suited for scenario-based learning and assessment. For example, you can program text boxes and have the learners complete real problems and input real information, which is very helpful. I also think Adobe Captivate is great with embedding videos. There are several options including slide and event videos, embedded films from YouTube, closed captioning and accessibility, and interactive video and slide overlays.
