Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as our primary content authoring tool for eLearning modules. Our organization is a packaging manufacturer with 1000 team members, and we have a variety of quality and safety certifications that require extensive compliance training, as well as leadership development, HR themed courses like "conflict resolution" and other topics. We have a very small team (1 person - me!) who has a license for Articulate and does our course authoring, so I have to be a jack of all trades and utilize every feature and tool it offers before we publish a SCORM course out to our LMS.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Make it easy to create professional, polished courses using templates
Engage learners with interactivity
Gauge learning effectiveness with various activities and quiz question options

Cons

I would like to see some additional functionality in the Storyline toolbar that mirrors the updated toolbars in PowerPoint, etc. to allow for additional customization
Having more options for player templates would be nice
Would be cool if slide feedback on Review 360 could take you straight to that block in Rise so you could address the concern

Return on Investment

With an increased use of Rise, especially the templates and "real content", we've added 60 new courses to our LMS library this year, which is more than we've added in the last 4 years combined.

Comprehensive Platform

I use Rise, Storyline and Review primarily. Both Rise and Storyline are my go-to tools for content creation, which I share on Review with stakeholders so that I can request feedback and get their input. We have a separate LMS that we use to host and distribute SCORM content, so I don't have a ton of experience with Reach, but we did have an issue this year with an incompatibility problem uploading a file to our LMS, so I used Reach in a pinch to get the course out to 100 team members and it was well received.

Integrated AI

I have not used the AI Assistant feature yet.

Usability

Intuitive user interface and powerful tools and features.

Likelihood to Recommend

Articulate 360 works for all types of themes and content, which is nice. I can easily create a compliance-based course and have a PPT or something imported, and also create specialty courses with more customization and less canned content. We have gotten great feedback on the different content created and I haven't had any situations thus far where the tool was not an appropriate choice.
