Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360

As a small instructional design company creating training for clients, Articulate 360 is a crucial part of our tech stack. We primarily use Storyline for the robust and custom options it offers. Occasionally we use Rise for internal training - nothing beats that speed!

Pros

  • The depth of customization available is stunning, especially if you add custom coding to your work.
  • Triggers and layers are well-organized in the interface and easy for new users to understand.
  • The built in image library is surprisingly vast!

Cons

  • A minor thing, but I wish the default when I click "Preview" was to preview the slide I just worked on - versus the default being scene or entire course preview.
  • Being able to customize default slide numbers would be helpful, versus setting them for each project.
  • We couldn't provide custom training for our clients without Articulate 360. A training design company without an Articulate 360 subscription is a fish without water.
We don't use Reach, and are only beginning to experiment with AI Assistant. Our workflow between Storyline and Review is the lifeblood of the company - we use that product to collect all client feedback, and now we can "resolve" client clients directly in Storyline - an incredible feature. Occasionally we will create content in Storyline that we import into Rise, but typically we use Rise on its own.
We have not used it a lot. So far, we are impressed with the Assistant's ability to restate our text in a more casual manner, and to shorten blocks of text that might be too wordy.
Storyline is not a program for a newbie - it is a huge and comprehensive beast that is worth every minute spent learning it. Rise is incredibly easy for anyone to pick up - both programs are uniquely suited for the audiences (and use cases) designed for.

Would you buy Articulate 360 again?

Yes

For rich and comprehensive custom training, Articulate 360 Storyline is the only option on the market. We've used it to build detailed interactive branching scenarios, arcade-style games, and hundreds of hours of custom slide for our clients. Anything we can dream up, from an instructional design and learning science background, Storyline can do. The only time Storyline isn't appropriate is for simple content - in which case, Articulate 360 still has covered with Rise.
