Solid products, even better community. Articulate does a good job at providing intuitive, easy-to-use eLearning-related software that is great for beginners, but still provides value to those with more advanced skills. While for a time they seemed to be falling a bit behind the competition, they have recently picked-up their game again by providing new modernized offerings and have started moving toward a subscription-based payment model -- I say started because currently it's not nearly as flexible as I'd like it to be, but at least they are moving in the right direction. I think the most powerful aspect of Articulate is the highly engaged user community that they have developed. They do an amazing job of engaging and supporting users in their community, and consistently provide great content and challenges to keep those users learning and developing their skills.

I really like this bit of software 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!

Hyped, but Buggy and Expensive I have been using Articulate almost every day for the past year, so I'm a moderately advanced user. It has some great features, but lately very frustrating. There are too many bugs. Crashes without warning. Crashes on publishing to xAPI, SCORM, Review 360. Takes up to 30 minutes to compile and publish a large project. Am using 2 laptops with it. Crashes randomly on both. (One has 16 GB RAM, the other 32 GB RAM) The auto-save feature doesn't work properly! You need to save manually every 30 minutes. Sometimes it changes your variable settings. I have lost hours of work. After I finish my project, not likely I will continue using it but am tied to it until completion. Overpriced. Not recommended. 3 stars at best. I think 14 bug fixes this year so far !!

Great products and people I've been doing learning development for several years. I've used many different tools from authorware to captivate to flash. Articulate has some of the best products I've ever used. They are easy to learn, but can do soo much more than you realize at the beginning. There always seems to be more tip learn. I love it. There support is great. My pc at work had died. They were ablebto get me going on my new machine in less than one day. I barely had to stop working. Great products. Great people.

Articulate 360 I left a review about the Articulate suite of goodies about one year ago. Since then, Articulate have moved to the Cloud and introduced new products such as Rise and Review. They have also greatly improved the number and library of templates and characters. Rise and Review are exceptional additions to the Articulate family. My only concern is the pricing strategy. I understand moving to the Cloud with all of the benefits that provides in terms of stability and upgrading applications. But at a projected annual subscription of $999 and no projected facility to pay for individual applications, I wonder whether this might be off-putting for those, like me, who create eLearning for charities and seek no payment and for those who do not use every application this might cause hesitation in commiting to products that could not later be amended. For me, at the moment, the suite of applications and the most exceptional community are benefits that would lead me to persuade she who holds the purse strings that I could not live without them!! But my task would be made much easier if there was a more flexible pricing strategy.
