Overall Satisfaction with Articulate Storyline

As a multimedia developer I use Storyline every day. It has become my go to tool because of the ability that it gives me to be able to create the eLearning that I want. We use it at Pure Learning because it is so simple to use. It may take awhile to get your head around it, but once you get into it it is really simple and it allows you to create the nice simple interactions that you want the leaner to go through. At Pure learning it is used throughout the entire organization. It is used by our writers to mock up their ideas and by our multimedia developers to create the entire projects. It is also sometimes used by our graphic designers to work out the best animations to have and how we will mock up the user interface and how intuitive it will be to the user.


Storyline addresses the problem that there are not that many other tools out there to make eLearning and what is out there is pretty crap to be honest. They are either cloud options which are slow and have limited storage or they are like Captivate which can get overly complicated to make the most simple of interactions.

  • It is easy to use.
  • Interactions are simple to make.
  • It has good built-in features.
  • It has limiting factors when it comes to built-in functions.
  • It can be hard to debug.
  • You cant select multiple variables to copy and paste or delete.
  • Employee efficiency.
  • Finish projects faster.
  • Beat the competition in making prototypes for the company.
  • Captivate and gomoLearning
It is the most simplest to learn and it just does a better job all round. We use this as a company because it is simple to use and everyone can use it. You do not need a degree in programming.
It is well suited to a variety of scenarios. I would recommend it to my colleagues because it is the quickest program to learn and it will fill all of the requirements.
