Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360
I have been using Articulate's products, specifically, Storyline since 2014! Storyline allows me to create dynamic eLearning courses quickly but also allows me to create large, project managed courses with the same quality as some graphically designed and coded courses. With its most recent update to Storyline 360, I can also publish courses as MP4 files! And if I want to create something even quicker, I can use Rise, a quick authoring tool made for easy collaboration with your SMEs, ISDs, or trainers!
- Easy collaboration on a course
- Sharable Content Library
- Live, Online Training to self-development with the tools
- Flexibility to create the course as quick or as in depth as you need
- The Support Community is great; however, it can be hard to find an answer to your support needs.
- Out of my price range as an individual ($999 annually)
- No browser-based version - yet!
- All in one tool that connected development teams between departments
- Always have latest version (similar to Adobe Cloud)
- Rise has been a time saver for the HR department's publishing needs
- Camtasia and Lectora
Camtasia has a low enough cost to where it could be used in conjunction with Articulate 360 (create videos to embed in the course); now that Storyline 360 can publish MP4 files, this may not be necessary unless you want a different look and feel that Camtasia offers.
As for Lectora, Trivantis offers a desktop version and an online version. Both have their pros and cons and could be an alternative for you; however, I found Articulate's 360 Suite was more user-friendly and quicker to learn and implement. On the flip side, Lectora does offer more robust tools; especially for designers who know code!
