CASolid 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.

GBArticulate 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.

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

GBGreat 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.

GBExpensive 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.
