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

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 !!

Frustrating and annoying - I don't enjoy using this 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.

So far, so good I've worked for 4 years in the industry of e-learning, to be honest, Articulate Storyline is the best for now. Very easy to design and publish. The online support is very strong and helped me a lot. The publish is also stable for the LMS. I contacted many times with their technical team, they were just nice and efficient. The new Articulate 360 is about to come, I am looking forward with impatience !

Expensive and increasingly buggy 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.
