Pros and Cons

Has many templates, a full content library, and plenty of references and tutorials.
It is user-friendly and functions within powerpoint so your organization can pick up the software fairly easy.
Adding seats and more users is easy.
Sharing review links and getting others to review and collaborate is a feature that Articulate added.

There are some functions in scoring and reporting that can be improved. I have had to use advanced scripting to accomplish some tasks that could be added to the product.
Their Rise product is great for using template content blocks and creating a modern look to training courses - however, it is limited in the amount of customization compared to Storyline 360.
The audio editor can be a little jumpy when trying to micro-edit sound.
