Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use Captivate Prime to create learning programmes that are used by employees all across South Africa. This is specifically for customer training. The pandemic has forced us to move the majority of our training online, which means that oversight and the ability to track learners have become of the utmost importance. We find that our reporting structure has become much more robust.

Pros and Cons

Managing engagement.
Providing easy to publish content section.
Reporting.

I would love to be able to include an epub that tracks a users engagement and keep track of where they are.
I sometimes feel that we need more in-depth engagement reporting, e.g. duration spent on a specific piece of content.
The ability to link with live Zoom meetings.

Return on Investment

Easy to reach learners anywhere.
Easy to access content anywhere.
Easy to design course anywhere.

Implementation

Adobe Captivate Prime is extremely easy to implement when you are starting from scratch. It is easy to create, load, manage and engage with your content. When moving over from another platform like TalentLMS or similar, I found the bulk importing of information a little tricky. Not Adobe's fault though. I like the iSpring integration.

Purchasing Process

Adobe call centre agents are always willing to help. They will, especially when discussing financial constraints during this difficult time of the pandemic, always do their utmost to provide you with the best possible deal. I found this with all of their products.

Exceptional Examples of Adobe Learning Manager Support

I have not needed much support from Adobe. I find that their available video tutorials and FAQ pages answer all the questions I might have.

Primary Use

More than one of the above

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Acrobat DC and iSpring Learn

I will not say much here other than that I believe Adobe is a forerunner in all of their products. Wish I could learn them all!

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited to areas where you want to inform and educate. Setting up specific courses, modules and even qualifications are easy. Testing also becomes easy.
It is not always well suited to classes that require collaboration. Here I am specifically referring to a course that requires classroom sessions where learners have to actively engage in content during a live session, in order to reach outcomes.
