Storyline 2 is a fantastic piece of software needing only a few tweaks 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.

Well-rounded software package Articulate has really stepped up their game with the new 360 launch. The Articulate Review service is brilliant and has greatly reduced the amount of annoying tasks we have to go through to review Storyline files internally. Rise is an excellent way to quickly and easily build e-learning projects, while Storyline remains a strong, much more complex partner. The content library is full of great stuff that can easily be used in projects.

Articulate Just Gets It! Articulate creates products that solve problems we, the consumer, have. They don't push a "this is what you need" mentality on us. They find out what would make our jobs easier, and then they deliver. Don't we all wish every software company would do that? Storyline lets us get training to the field quickly. In a world where technology is changing at a fast pace, we need to be able to get learning content to our people as quickly as possible to stay ahead. With Storyline, we've created a host of solutions: soft-skills selling, CRM software training, scenarios on customer engagement, etc.

Articulate Experience I has used Captivate for some time, so when I initially made the switch (expanded actually) to Articulate I was apprehensive at first - as it can be when learning anything new. However I found it quite straight forward to get the hang of. One of the strongest points is that It is so much easier to produce great looking e learning content. I feel this is important because it makes it more inviting for users meaning they spend more time learning ans less time questioning. Customer support is excellent and there is a strong active network of experienced pro's to draw from. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on Articulate 360 and using the new features like rise which seem like it will speed up work flow.

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 !!
