Articulate 360Reviews of articulate.com

I should preface this review to say that I have worked previously with a partner of Articulate. Honestly though, the company is a pleasure to work with. Hugely customer focused and continually striving to improve their products. Storyline 2 is such a a great tool and I'm excited to see what's in store. ------update for 360------ Articulate have now released their Articulate 360 product, which includes a raft of new features and opportunities. It is great to see the product offering growing in such a positive way. The content library and rise are quite exciting, not to mention the huge benefit of Review for QA. Its obvious that Articulate are really listening to the market and continually improving.

I've been using Storyline for over a year and have created some excellent content, it's easy to use and there is tonnes of online support available as well as access to templates and resources. The only things I think it could improve on is the animations and transitions which are nowhere near as slick and smooth as PowerPoint.

I work in a top universal bank in Central and Eastern Europe and my job is to create good locking eLearning courses, presentations, application tutorials, quizzes, etc Using Articulate Storyline 2 I manage to meet objectives very easy. If you don't believe me... try it yourself :) It's free!

I use Storyline 2 everyday in my role as a multimedia developer. I couldn't think of another tool that i would rather use it is quick and simple to pick up and run with. There is always that little bit of extra stuff you can do if you know a bit of javascript and are willing to put in the time. I really dont know where i would be without in my job.

Being a non-techie and in the early stages of adding rapid elearning to my face-to-face instructional skills I was attracted to Articulate Studio, Engage and Quizmaker because of their relative similarity to, and integration with, PowerPoint. Then came Storyline and I decided that this was my go to tool. I like the flexibility and usefulness of variables and triggers to engage the learner with interactivity and the ease with which amendment is possible. Most importantly I love the ability to confirm learner improvement with the use of tests, quizzes and checks that are only limited by my imagination and which may not appear to be collecting results to the learner. I would like to see improvement to the printing of triggers and variables because this is difficult to do on the screen. There are work arounds but since this is where the magic happens and it would improve workflow. But Storyline is only the tool. What really keeps me with it is the Community which supports and inspires improving my knowledge of the software and introducing innovative ways to extend its capability. Despite the minor frictions mentioned, I recommen Storyline 2 to everyone who shows an interest (and even those that don't!).

I have used Storyline since the original beta testing and have been completely satisfied with it. It has capabilities that allow novice users to be up and running quickly and advanced potential to grow with you as your skills develop, I have no hesitations to recommend it to anyone looking for an online learning development tool.

I've been using Articulate products for 5-6 years having moved on from some of the competitors. When I saw the blank slate that Storyline provides I was thrilled. It doesn't do everything — no software does — but I find that I more limited by my imagination than anything Storyline can't do. UPDATE: Articulate has released a fabulous update called Articulate 360. This new cloud-based collection of applications adds some much needed (and appreciated) new functionality. Two standouts for me are Review, on online tool for collecting feedback from SMEs during the prototyping phase, and Rise, an all new fully responsive authoring tool. Lots to look forward to here!

As the only instructional designer for a large urban hospital, I am constantly challenged to do more in less time. I have always found Articulate Storyline to be the ideal software for me to create high-level, interactive work within a short timeframe. With the latest incarnation, Articulate 360, my work has become even easier. Whether it is using one of the many templates or assets to save time, the new Review feature for easy sharing with my subject matter experts, or the best device scaling options I have seen, the best e-learning product on the market just got better. As previously, a vibrant user community supports the product with both advice and tons of creative ideas. Each product in the suite is extremely powerful and intuitive. In no time at all you can do from idea to finished, interactive product.
