Overall Satisfaction with iSpring Suite

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use iSpring Suite to create short courses or credentials for our clients. We use it primarily for clients who do not have access to a LMS platform and want an HTMLt file to upload to their website, need a SCORM package or have a limited budget for custom course creation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Integrates with an existing product (powerpoint) so the learning curve is not steep
Great customer support
Easy file export

Cons

Greater flexibility in the design settings, particularly in the interactive exercises
More user friendly/intuitive in terms of finding settings.
More variety in the interactive exercise options

Return on Investment

It has allowed us to provide more cost-effective solutions to clients who do not have an LMS
It has allowed us to integrate PowerPoint's capabilities into our courses

Usability

I would like settings to be more intuitive to fins - I often have to contact support to find out how to do things. I would also like greater flexibility in the design settings - they can be quite limiting and look outdated, particularly in the interactives.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Captivate

We find Adobe Captivate looks outdated, is clunky, has a terrible user interface and is not flexible.

Likelihood to Recommend

iSpring Suite is great if you want a fairly straightforward way to create a course. It has greater flexibility than Adobe Captivate, and there is not much of a learning curve if you are familiar with PowerPoint. However, it is not appropriate if you want a great deal of customisation or advanced interactives.
