Had potential, but in practice is disappointing 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.

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 !!

SL2 - It's good Using SL2 is a fairly decent process, with some friction points when getting into the nitty gritty of using the software. I do like that you can import translations directly and that makes building courses anew in another language must faster. I do like the versatility of layers, states and triggers. As well there are many valuable templates created by community users that can be gleaned and updated for your own needs. When working with a module that is large, the SL2 file can become unstable and corrupt - which is no fun - and in my experience not recoverable. It does not create a good mobile user experience unless you build a course that is specifically designed for the mobile experience, so that means multiple courses for the same content.

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.

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.
