Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360
We create these rapid E-learning courses and the courses deal with having our project managers internally do their job better, more efficiently. We have a lot of embedded videos in the Rise courses that we create and we're always interested in learning all the new tricks and tips and how to make Rise more engaging. Previously we used to use only Storyline, but now we use Rise specifically because quicker.
Pros
- It just seems to be very intuitive for instructional designers, especially nowadays from what I'm seeing with the new AI. But it's very intuitive. It's better than any other tool authoring tool that I've tried. I think it's just really outstanding in the industry and that's evidenced by every year. Demo Fest, like 95% of the best examples are all done in Articulate products.
Cons
- I'd love to have Rise have a little more engaging interactivity blocks available. It'd be nice to have more of those just ready to choose from with them rather than us having to create them. Yeah, that's always the challenge with Rise is just making the course more engaging to the learner and more, whereas Storyline does that easily, but with Rise it takes a little more thinking on our end.
- I'm not sure I could put a dollar value on it, but with the Review feature, I mean that was a revolutionary thing when it first came out years ago because you can eliminate the argumentation amongst the reviewers and at least they can see each other's reviews and you're not having to edit something and then edit it again. And it just makes it so much easier, that review feature. I'm sure that saves a lot of time and a lot of issues with your reviewers and just the aspect of, especially now with the AI functionality, I think it's just a huge time saver. It's really shaken up the Industry.
The Review feature is fantastic. We use that constantly for Alpha review, beta review and having the multiple SMEs enter the comments, the feedback, and they can see each other's comments. So huge, it adds a lot of flexibility. And then we use Storyline. I mean I used to use Storyline specifically by itself, but now the company switched to Rise because it's quicker. That's the fast pace. Being able to embed those videos nicely and efficiently is a time saver. I mean it's all about time. I have not used Reach, but that sounds kind of a rigging. We have our own LMS, it's called Amplify in this particular company I'm working for. So I'm not sure that would work for us, but it sounds like it's pretty powerful from what I was reading and I'd be interested to learn more about that. And maybe in the future I could dabble in that.
I downloaded it with my manager and I was like, "wow," in five minutes or two minutes he generated this course and we were like, "that's pretty accurate." Even though he wasn't using our internal, some of our documents, but it was pretty accurate. I can see that it's really going to make things more and more quick and efficient and improve everybody's efficiency and that's what it's all about. But yeah, I haven't actually used it. I'm excited to start using it. We did. I think it's an extra add on feature. My manager said we have it now in our product, so I'm going to start using it, the AI.
I've observed it really didn't have much interest in it also. Well, in the past I've used Captivate was just so painfully difficult to use. It's not user-friendly or intuitive for learners to really understand how to use. I mean, it's powerful, but it's nothing like Articulate. Articulate 360 is very user-friendly and easy for people to learn. I mean, I've worked with instructional designers that had no formal training with Articulate products, but just learned on the fly. In my case I did take classes, so it helped a bit. It's great.
