Overall Satisfaction with iSpring Suite

We are using iSpring Suite to rapidly develop online learning for our association members, partners, and government agencies. Before using iSpring Suite, we hired outside contractors to build our online training courses. This became very expensive and time consuming, with multiple rounds of reviews to manage. iSpring Suite allows us to build e-learning in house using our own staff and subject matter experts. It saves us time and money by shortening the development and review process. It also saves us time and money because the learning curve for staff is very short, especially compared to other products like Articulate and Captivate.
  • iSpring Suite is very easy to use. Anyone who can build engaging PowerPoint slides can create professional looking e-learning assets.
  • The quiz marker in iSpring Suite provides many ways to easily build engaging assessments. Questions can be used in multiple quizzes. Feedback and branching can be added to questions.
  • The documentation for iSpring Suite is extremely helpful and very thorough. Many software companies cut corners here but iSpring Suite has a full set of searchable well organized help documents. They don't make you watch videos.
  • iSpring Suite only works in a Windows environment. I would love to see support for iOS. As a Mac user, I had to set up a Windows drive to use this product. Now I just use a separate Windows machine, but that isn't always possible for everyone.
  • I'd like to see more options to select multiple objects when performing an operation, or some keyboard shortcuts. I have to do a lot of mousing and multiple clicking when editing slide properties, building quizzes, and creating interactions.
  • When I open the quiz builder or interactions builder, the window doesn't resize when I move it to a second monitor from my laptop screen. I have to manually resize the window every single time. This doesn't happen when adding sound files, which is also a separate interaction.
  • I'd like the system to remember where I was instead of taking me to the top of the screen or start of the interaction.
  • Easy to use
  • Low cost
  • Good product support
  • iSpring Suite has saved us thousands of dollars in annual LMS fees
  • iSpring Suite has allowed us to cut ties with third-party developers
  • iSpring Suite allows us to reuse content in different ways by building learning paths for different audiences
Producing e-learning is a member service, and not a core objective of our association, so we have a small staff and a limited budget. iSpring Suite costs less than other premium products that build e-learning. It's much easier to learn how to use. We can also take PowerPoint content from other sources and turn it into e-learning quickly.

iSpring Suite is well suited to rapid development of basic online training. Staff members can pick up the basics very fast and turn out professional looking content. If you have a tight budget and a small staff, this solution can work well for you. iSpring Suite is also suitable for departments that have some PowerPoint experts, instructional designers, and graphic designers. You can easily share content development tasks and review work using iSpring Space.

iSpring Suite is less suited for large operations that are deeply committed to other products and may have sophisticated development processes. There is not any sophisticated programming available.
Currently we are using the iSpring Market LMS to serve our content. There is a lack of any reporting for web events, and there are no APIs available.
