Overall Satisfaction with Articulate Storyline
The training development team uses Articulate Storyline to create compliance and process training. It was easy for the staff to learn and get used to for those who have never used it before. We have created templates to keep our trainings looking the same and we love the tool.
- Storyline is great for customizing your training activities. If you can think of an activity, you will be able to create it in Storyline. It is like a blank canvas, great for creative people.
- Storyline is very forgiving. If you have an issue or something isn't working the way you want it, there are more than one ways to do something. I love finding Storyline loopholes for my colleagues to ease the stress off of their shoulders.
- It is easy to turn boring PowerPoints into an interactive work of art. You just have to think about the story you want to tell and what the learner should be able to do by the time they finish the training.
- It would be nice to enter PDF type documents. There are ways to display documents, but you have to know the work-arounds to make it look good.
- Storyline should be able to edit images better. For example, if I want to use an image that doesn't have a transparent background, I need to open Adobe Photoshop to delete the background. PowerPoint 13' has this functionality.
- We've had no negative impact.
- Storyline is great for ROI. A module can be created in a day or so depending on the complexity.
Captivate is unforgiving and cumbersome to use. The only reason you'd need Captivate is if you wanted to add some coding scripts to your module. Storyline almost seemed like a dream because it was so easy to use. Not only is it easy to use, but you can work quickly and be very efficient.
Articulate Studio is very weak compared to Articulate Storyline. If you just want to publish your PowerPoints into something that would interact with an LMS, then look no further. Even then, it is slow and clunky compared to Storyline.
