Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Developing Rise courses for various clients including Higher Education, corporate, and K-12 staff training. Incorporating Storyline blocks into Rise for custom interactions, scenarios, etc.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Rise is easy to use and has clean design for quick course creation
Storyline's trigger wizard and display keeps all the triggers visible and organized to reference (used constantly throughout development)
Layer system gives flexibility within slide development to take multiple different approaches to the same problem

Cons

Would love to be able to trigger groups of objects or shapes instead of making a new trigger for each one
Customizing focus order gets very discombobulated with master slide objects in addition to the objects on the current slide. Unchecking the "show for accessibility" box is buried 3+ clicks deep to update objects and makes it tedious to update.
More customization for the look and feel of Rise courses
Being able to save a color palette and font sizes (for example, when bolding text I might also make it a highlight color. But then to update everywhere I need to re-paste the hex code instead of choosing a previously used swatch.

Return on Investment

More accessible course creation in Rise
Decreased time for final course product with Rise
Review 360 decreased time for receiving detailed feedback from many stakeholders

Comprehensive Platform

Integrate SToryline blocks into Rise courses for custom interactions, scenarios, etc. Review is used to give feedback on individual slides in Storyline or individual elements in Rise.

Integrated AI

I have not used AI Assistant, we do not have the subscription

Usability

Overall very easy to use, with small snags here and there.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Captivate, Vyond and 7taps

Trigger wizard is easier to use than advanced actions in Captivate. Storyline feel more seamless than Captivate.

Key Insights

Do you think Articulate 360 delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Articulate 360's feature set?

Yes

Did Articulate 360 live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Articulate 360 go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Articulate 360 again?

Yes

Rise is appropriate for quick course development and making courses look good without expertise in the design and development side. Storyline has nearly endless possibilities for what you can create and most features are very intuitive. For certain project that need many objects with changing states and an array with text or images, I have found Construct or Unity better for making game-like features.
