Articulate 360Reviews of articulate.com

We use Articulate 360 on a daily basis and consider it to be an excellent tool for developing eLearning courses. We have used the software heavily for more than 7 years now, spanning multiple versions and we've found that we can build most things we'd ever need to build in an eLearning context. The majority of organisations that approach us to build their courses already know that they want us to do so using Articulate 360, which speaks volumes and embeds the products as truly industry-standard. The community that surrounds Articulate and its products is second to none. The members of the eLearning Heroes forums are warm and friendly and are always willing to jump in and offer advice and solutions to help keep your projects moving. This is a great safety net to have when you're up against it and you hit a wall. Articulate deserve congratulations for enabling such a community to grow on its platform. I look forward to seeing how Articulate 360 continues to evolve.

This software is my go to tool for all my elearning development needs. I have been using it since it came out, which is now many many years. The company is constantly improving and adding to the tools that are included in this package. I use Storyline 360 predominantly and like that it is robust enough for me to create anything I can imagine, but not so tricky that a new user can't pick it up and create a course. For the quick projects that just need to get out, I've been using Rise, but even it is becoming more robust with new improvements.

Appalling. Slow, clunky, buggy, confusing, expensive. Please world, stop using this terrible software so i cant stop being asked to build courses with it.

Poorly coded, poorly optimized, buggy, and a blatant microsoft product ripoff with 10x the bugs. Saving your file takes over a minute, sometimes much longer. This is on a high end video editing PC. I've genuinely never seen software with save times like this. In this day and age to have software that works this poorly is entirely unacceptable. Especially for the price they're trying to justify here. I would recommend to look elsewhere. Don't waste your money. They desperately need a larger team to sort out the bugs and sluggishness of the software.

One of the worst buggy products I have ever worked with. Their Storyline software is only available for Windows OS. Within Storyline they have a feature to import powerpoint slide, which 50% will important the images properly and 50% the images in the slides are not imported at all. Any animations in powerpoint slides does not work properly either in Storyline. On top of that it keep on crashing if I copy and paste an image directly in Storyline or record an audio longer than 1 min. Also Storyline doesn't work properly on 4K monitors, and they don't plan to make any improvement for it anytime soon. Their support recommends that we change the resolution of the screen. See for your self on their community portal where some important requested features have been overlooked for 4+ years and no proper response from their teams. Many expressing their frustration on this community posts. Their Rise 360 project which allow you to create more text heavy based course, is PIA to use as well. The experience of editing content (mainly images, videos, and interactivity) is not that good either. Not to mention they are very expensive compared to the quality of the software.

Having historically left existing customers in the lurch by switching to a subscription model with no cheap upgrade from previous full versions, this software is now prohibitively EXPENSIVE. Compared to say Adobe CC, it’s off the scale in terms of what you get (or rather don’t get) for your money. However, we held our noses and took the plunge due to requirements of existing clients, but were disappointed to find this software has become increasingly buggy and their fixes create new bugs elsewhere, suggesting that they don’t test properly, particularly regression. It’s becoming embarrassing to use in a professional context when building courses for external clients. Our internal QA/testing costs have ROCKETED as a result so we’re now looking at more robust alternatives.

I really like this bit of software. Both Storyline and Rise give course developers some great tools to create eye catching and engaging courses whatever the content. Only not giving 5 Stars because they continue to not create software that works on a Mac, which is just crazy!

This software is frustrating to navigate and annoying to animate with. It's very annoying that it does not work on mac either. It's extremely flimsy and things like the timeline are just so awkward to scroll, zoom in and out of, find what I need, delete things etc. It is very similar to windows power point, which is too clunky and slow to have more advanced animation and design like this, and I think it should be more similar to actual video edit/animate/design software like premier pro than powerpoint. Needs an overhaul. Having it blacklit instead of bright white would be a good idea too. Overall very annoying to use.
