Storyline 2 is a brilliant authoring tool A brilliant eLearning authoring tool that's easy to pick up and use - even if you have limited techy skills. Publishes automatically to SCORM, and is cross-platform ready with loads of built in features meaning you don't need to understand coding, HTML, flash etc to be able to produce great, engaging learning. THe support is amazing with elearningheroes.com and fast response to any queries. It's also well-priced against its competitors

Should be five stars, but ... In almost every respect, Storyline 2 is a great piece of software. It makes it easy to develop compelling interactive e-learning content quickly and easily. It has a wide set of features and the online community is excellent and supportive. I particularly like the fact that it's not just easy to use out of the box, but also has a lot of power under the hood. So why the three stars? Simply put, Storyline 2 is unusable on high DPI monitors. The software ignores the system DPI setting and defaults to a low DPI setting. Which means that everything on the screen – text, icons, graphics – is absolutely tiny. There are workarounds, but the workarounds seriously impact my workflow to the point where I find myself doing more and more work in other tools. I can't wait for the DPI issue to be fixed, but this doesn't seem to be a priority for Articulate, which is a real shame as high DPI monitors are becoming more and more common. If you don't have a high DPI screen, then Storyline 2 is excellent. If you do, it's worth three stars only until the issue is fixed.

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.

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.

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.
