Articulate 360

Vorteile

Die Nähe zur PowerPoint-Benutzeroberfläche macht Storyline 360 schnell für Anfänger nutzbar und bietet einen einfachen Einstieg. Die integrierten Funktionen sind fast immer ausreichend umfangreich. Es kommen immer mal neue Funktionen dazu. Es gibt viel Hilfe im Internet, wenn man mal Fragen hat. Die Community ist ebenfalls sehr hilfsbereit.

Nachteile

Die Instabilität der Programme (speziell Storyline) ist für fast jeden Tag ein Drama. Mindestens 1x am Tag unvorhersehbare Abstürze (egal auf welchem PC). Recovery-Funktion funktioniert oft nicht. Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass die Dateien immer größer werden. Wir haben Dateien die über 3 GB groß werden können (aufgrund von Videos). Wird eine Kopie der Datei erstellt um daraus ein neues E-Learning zu erstellen, bläht sich die Datei über die Zeit weiter und weiter auf (trotz löschen alter Inhalte) was auch die Speicherdauer in die Höhe treibt. So müssen wir bei jedem neuen E-Learning ein leeres Master händisch via Copy-Paste mit identischen Inhalten füllen, damit wir ungewollte (unsichbare) Speicherfresser loswerden. Auch korrupte Dateien hatten wir bereits mehrfach. Leider scheint das Problem auch nicht ernsthaft von Articulate adressiert zu werden, da sich seit über 3 Jahren nichts in dieser Richtung getan hat.

Vorteile

Das freie Gestalten der Inhalte sorgt für viel Flexibilität und Eigenständigkeit.

Nachteile

Es können gern noch mehr Interaktive Teile eingebaut werden mit denen man auch in Rise 360 noch mehr Möglichkeiten hat.

Vorteile

Intuitive Oberfläche mit tollen Funktionen. Somit kann eLearning super und einfach gestaltet werden. Dadurch wird das KnowHow gut übermittelt und gesteigert.

Nachteile

Bis jetzt keine wesentlichen Nachteile festgestellt.

Vorteile

Die Software lässt sich intuitiv bedienen und bietet super tolle Features, die die Erstellung von E-Learning-Kursen sehr einfach macht. Unsere Kunden sind von den Kursen begeistert.

Nachteile

Zum Teil sind Beschriftungen der Updates in Englisch. Ein Auswahl-Button der gewünschten Sprache wäre super.

Vorteile

Even non-developers can unleash their creativity to create e-learning content.
The interface is similar to MS PowerPoint, making it easy and quick for anyone to learn.
By using the software, users can develop logical thinking through the trigger wizard.

Nachteile

It is not compatible with MacBooks; a virtual machine is required to use it on a Mac.
The speed of the created content is not very fast and feels somewhat heavy.
As a Korean, I find that support for the Korean language is lacking in areas such as text input, font compatibility, and TTS provision.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Articulate 360

Vorteile

I like that Articulate 360 provides access to both Articulate Storyline and Rise, which enables me to develop eLearning content to suit a wide range of budgets.

Nachteile

It is difficult to think of any serious negatives that have cropped up during my use of Articulate 360. If I was to ask for one improvement I think I'd ask for reverse transitions to be added as a feature, so that when one of my learners clicks back on a screen, the animation reflects that they are moving backwards through the course.

Vorteile

Ease of use, online, integrates well with other Articulate software. So easy even a caveman could do it.

Nachteile

Expensive and their licensing model has changed. Limited in scope of customizations, sort of cookie-cutter. Same look and feel over and over.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Articulate 360

Vorteile

Articulate is easy to use and solced our simple lms problems.

Nachteile

Bugs and crashing when using it. Very slow in large courses.

Vorteile

The incorporation of Rise, a rapid and simple content creation tool has enabled me to create almost instant courses with little effort, which frees me up to do more sophisticated interactions in Storyline and incorporate them into the training courses.

Nachteile

Rise does not have image descriptors, making it impossible to match images in courses without guessing the search term and hunting through pages of images. It can also be extremely slow to e.g. save block templates or move between courses.

Vorteile

Love all of its application under 360. Storyline is still my favorite to use.

Nachteile

Which for a simpler way to sync the usage of all applications under 360.

Vorteile

Users benefit from an extensive content library with millions of assets, robust collaboration features through Review 360, and seamless LMS compatibility with SCORM and xAPI exports. Frequent updates, cloud-based access, and a supportive community further enhance its value, making it the go-to platform for creating engaging, professional e-learning experiences.

Nachteile

The pricing is fairly expensive, particularly for individuals. Also its reliance on Windows for Storyline 360 limits functionality for Mac users without virtualization software.

Vorteile

The functionality is great - lots of creative options that you can use to appeal to all learner types. Basic features are easy to use with a good interface. I like the wide range of templates which helps to make the creation of a course quicker. As many people are using the software, there is a lot of help available outside of articulate - forums, videos etc. The courses we create are successfully used across all employee levels. I like that one can include additional resources and chats to create a community for a course.

Nachteile

Sometimes the number of options and the content library can be overwhelming for new users. It is very expensive for self-employed e-learning producers.

Vorteile

Articulate is easy to learn and has excellent learning tools.

Nachteile

I would of liked a more comprehensive overview of the differences between Rise, Story, etc.

Vorteile

Multiple different ways to pose questions, create learning tools, and run tests.

Nachteile

Can be a slight learning curve at the beginning when using the desktop app

Vorteile

This software has changed my life and the experience of the learners I develop content for. Articulate 360 gives options. Have an amazing idea and need to start from scratch? Storyline is the place to go. It is so easy to use and there are a ton of tutorials, suggestions, and examples in the community forums. The templates in Rise allow for quick development of modern, easy to navigate online training (and I have used them to present information as well). The Content library is AMAZING! From photos to illustrations and icons - you'll find what you need. I no longer have to go to outside sources - everything I need is in the content library.

Nachteile

The only suggestion I have is regarding Rise. I love how easy it is to plug and play information but I would like to see just a little more flexibility with editing. If I want to change more of the look I will just use Storyline, but Rise has a nice feel to it and would just like to make small edits - like remove a line in one of the text formats (I think it's statement A. There are workarounds, but more flexibility with design)>

Vorteile

The amount of help and resources available via the E-learning Heroes forum is truly impressive. You don't have to reinvent the wheel when you think of a desired feature as it has usually been done already and users quite happily upload their .story files for others to customise. Saves lots of time in development.

Nachteile

Not much but you are slightly limited in how the player is customised, but this is a very minor issue.

Vorteile

Articulate 360 comes with a full and powerful suite of software that is easy to learn and easy to use, including Storyline 360. My team consists of a mixture of veteran and novice instructional designers and facilitators. Presenter 360 is especially useful for my novice designers and facilitators as it is so easy to use and mirrors the PowerPoint software they are already familiar with, while giving them the power of a Storyline project. The training and community support available are unmatched with any other software I have used to date.

Nachteile

Templates can be built and reused easily for Storyline, but not as easily for Rise. There have been a few issues with certain fonts not being supported, but the help desk reached back out to me (almost 8 months later) when the issue was resolved. The content library is immense and included, but will not load more than ~20 pictures at a time.

Vorteile

It's very easy to use, almost intuitive. Basically, if you understand how to use powerpoint, you'll be very comfortable with this software. It has a lot of built-in functionality, as compared to Captivate. You can publish nice courses with little effort. Put some effort to learn it's advanced features, and you can craft stunning courses. I've used this since version 1, and Studio before that. It gets better and better.
They have a great, useful user forum, and attentive support.

Nachteile

I've had a couple instances where upgrades broke our lessons, the most recent being with Update 6. It was crashing the lessons if there was a quiz or survey. It was a SCORM issue. Our LMS toes the line, hard, on SCORM and the incompatibility caused me misery. I had to revert. Previous to that, upgrading courses from version 2 to version 3 caused the LMS to stop tracking and send warnings. The solution ended up being not to upgrade, but import the content in a new course. Not totally Articulate's fault, but rather a compatibility issue.

Vorteile

Ease of use and the interactive tools are very helpful.

Nachteile

Storyline is a goal but very time consuming. Wish it was easier to create courses.

Vorteile

Ease of deployment. Templated lessons. Quiz customization.

Nachteile

Tracking user engagement is lacking. A/B testing built in would be beneficial.

Vorteile

Course Publishing & Course Integration, Scorm Compliance

Nachteile

We are not using some of the Articulate 360 feature due to lack of awareness like Quizzes, Test/ Assessment, Interactive etc. There should be notifications of such information. Byte Sized Learning template should be there.

Vorteile

Using Rise 360 to quickly create, share with team members for review and edit work for our learners. Easy to build and nice to use built in templates and photos to use. Quick turn around product. Storyline is excellent in it's similarity to the ppt file builds and a TON of built in resources!

Nachteile

Not a lot of features in Rise to edit the look/feel of the pages.

Vorteile

Articulate 360 is a suite of eLearning programs allowing you to developing engaging online learning content in numerous ways and for different levels of users. Need and easy-to-use tool to create dynamic content that is responsive design without a lot of effort, Rise is just one simple tool that is also quite powerful (i.e. you can embed Storyline content into Rise). Want to give your PowerPoint a lift, Articulate Studio 360 to the rescue. Articulate 360 includes an online Review program allowing others to provide feedback. Articulate has an extensive Content Library 360 available of characters, poses, illustrations, photos so you may not have to spend a ton licensing content for your eLearning. Articulate also provides tools for capturing and recording your screen. But the piece de la resistance is Articulate Storyline 360. This is the anchor of Articulate and like so many robust tools there is a learning curve. The good news is there is a strong online Articulate Community and you can find answers and solutions from others who have no doubt been down the road ahead of you. The webinars that they do are outstanding in quality and I attend as many as I can.

Nachteile

The continual updates came to bite Articulate, and me as a user. One day after updating, which I do routinely I found my ability to Preview content in Articulate Storyline 360 to not work properly. The ability to Preview content and see the timing of elements on a slide is critical. The good news is I was able to uninstall the update and work in an earlier version. However, while Articulate continued to release updates and add features, I was unable to take advantage of them. The coordination of information by their Technical Support on this critical issue was sub par. I was more apt to figure out when a solution was available through trial and error. Although this earlier issue has been mostly resolved, it still has some lingering problems. Again, the Articulate Community far exceeds the copy/paste responses you can get from Technical Support.

Vorteile

Allows to create e-Learning games and enrich training material with multiple HTML5 interactive features. Its Rise 360 feature for creating online courses meet the Agile work demand of our organization and its web-based interface is responsive and allows to create courses with simple drag & drops. On top of all of that, it offers plenty of templates.

Nachteile

It's lacking LMS functionalities, the scoring and reporting have limitations, the characters animation is a little bit static/lack movements, and no voice-overs options. Some JavaScript coding does not works well.

Vorteile

Articulate 360 to me appears like a super powerful Power Point with extra features like assigning courses, and managing results. Love to work with this tool. Layout is intuitive, it gives impression that all the tools that you need at the moment are available at your finger tips. There are many pre-defined shapes, animations etc. in case that you need to create a training quickly as well as great tools to let you visualize all your ideas regarding training creation.

Nachteile

I've never missed the tool I needed working with Articulate so I'm really happy about the overall functionality and cannot really point downsides

Vorteile

What I like most about this program is how user-friendly it is. When I first started using Storyline, I found it easy to get the hang of it and it wasn't long until I was creating courses without any assistance. I also love the icons feature that is available in Storyline 360. I use it a lot and can't imagine developing without it now.

I also like that if I need support, most questions have been asked online on Storyline forums. They always provide detailed explanations of how to do certain things and other users are also helpful in sharing what they know. The fact that the program has a community of supporters leaves me feeling confident that I can figure out any problem that I have.

Storyline is definitely my preferred eLearning development software.

Nachteile

There are a few program features that I would love added. I would love to be able to specify exactly how curved corners on shapes are (the yellow boxes that you drag) rather than doing it by eye. I also think updating the alt-text for accessibility should not be split by elements within an object but as an object as a whole (for example icons picking up on individual shapes rather than the icon as whole).

Vorteile

Has many aspects like PowerPoint and the support is amazing. They have a site where you can get tips from other users and cases you submit are usually answered within 24 hours

Nachteile

There is a web responsive software included that makes great mobile learning, but does not have the capacity that Articulate 360 has

Vorteile

I love the usability of this product. For new users, the similarities to PowerPoint are great. The ease of importing ppts is always helpful. For advance users, creating advanced slides, variables, triggers, etc is just great. I have been e-learning for the past 15 years and with articulate is the gold standard.

Nachteile

Their are little issues I have with the software. But it’s mostly small differences in the design of the software. Which I have learned workarounds from the online support community. At times, there are issues with IT security software scanning and file saving. However, upon working with your IT department can easily solve these issues.

Vorteile

It makes it really easy to create your own e-learning modules. The premade interactive elements like quizzes, card sorts etc make it really easy to turn your content into interactive training

Nachteile

The pre-made course templates are hard to find and hard to navigate to see what is available. If you want to build of an existing course it is quite hard to find some that you need as there isnt an easy search function and the categories are hard to follow

Vorteile

The ease of being able to create usable e-Learning thats interactive and engaging

Nachteile

Somethimes it doesnt have the flexibility needed to truly design training elements

Vorteile

We've been using Articulate for about 3 years and love the software. We mainly use Rise 360 for our eLearning courses and Storyline for quizzes and text entry. It is so easy to make a course or use one of the many templates so we don't have to start from scratch. The ability to quickly duplicate and create a course, in my opinion is one of the most important decision points in purchasing the software. I had to create a proof of concept using the trial software and the client team loved the course so much we purchased the license and never looked back.

Nachteile

I am loving the new features they are releasing, and I would like to see more. One feature that I would like to see released is text entry in Rise 360. We have to create it in Storyline and then import using the custom block. It would be much easier to create in Rise as a new block, the look and feel would also be sleeker with size options as well.

Vorteile

Gives you more room to customize and create unique contexts

Nachteile

More complicated to get up and running. Very expensive

Vorteile

Powerful where it needs to be, but still easy to master

Nachteile

Had Storyline 3, but had to go to Articulate 360 on a subscription which is a little more pricy

Vorteile

It's really easy to get the basics down with Articulate but when you want to dig deeper there are always ways to improve you courses with advanced triggers, variables, javascript.

Nachteile

Sometimes it's unstable, slow. The amount of built-in animations could be more and there is still no Mac version.

Vorteile

I love the flexibility that Articulate 360 and you can create simulations and interactive activities and quizzes. This is especially useful for adding videos and pausing them to have a learner complete an interactivity.

Nachteile

It takes some time to get used to as there are a lot of intricate pieces that you have to have a deeper understand, such as variables and triggers.

Vorteile

Articulate 360 comes with many tools available, including video capturing and rapid eLearning development. I use the authoring tool Storyline mainly from the suite and it meets all my requirements - powerful, customisable and easy to use. Being able to use javascript adds additional options behind the scenes.
To their credit they are constantly updating the software and from time to time introduce new features.
The community "ELearning Heros" is great with lot's of support and members sharing ideas and troubleshooting.

The review process is incredible and makes it easy to keep track of changes that are required.

Nachteile

Suggestions to enhancements are slow and sometimes are ignored for years.
Needing to pay full price for a full suite of products also makes it expensive for small teams , e.g. I didn't even consider suggesting Rise to our community of SMEs because it requires a full license even though they're only using one small feature set of the Articulate 360 suite.

A BIG NEGATIVE for me is no native Apple Mac support. This is a serious problem for me and many other members of the community

Vorteile

Easy to build and create content
Good stock image library to choose from
Shareable preview links to external people

Nachteile

Search function could be improved to search for a word within the content in a course. At the moment the search function just searches the titles of courses

Vorteile

How creative you can get. It is like PowerPoint presentation x100.

Nachteile

Nothing. It was very easy to understand.

Vorteile

We use these for self-paced learning as well as guiding classes in-person. The courses allow you to track completion as well.

Nachteile

It can be a bit of a recipe in the sense that they start to look the same. Options are somewhat limited in terms of what you can actually do.

Vorteile

The suite includes everything an elearning specilist might need to create great elearning: Storyline 360 (authoring tool), Rise (authoring tool), Review (a tool that works to capture feedback from reviewers for both Storyline and Rise), Replay (video-reording tool for capturing screen activity), Peek ( for recording screencasts), as as a large content library, and live online training. The suite is award-winning and very popular.

Nachteile

The suite is quite expensive for a single elearning developer.

Vorteile

Our team enjoys how simple it is to author courses within Articulate. We have a variety of multimedia content (webcomics, videos, music, interactives) this is the perfect platform for bringing everything together in one easy-to-access LMS.

Nachteile

I'd like course progression tracking to be more detailed (ie how much time is spent in a module or specific activity).

Vorteile

The ability to customize learning experiences in such a way that you can create decision-based scenarios, and present information in a dynamic and engaging way. You can use your imagination to it's fullest extent.

Nachteile

There are some image editing features that are present in MS PPT that I wish were present in Storyline360 such as merging images. There is also a bit of a learning curve on the system.

Vorteile

Articulate 360 has covered the e-learning management through stunning tools starting from rapid development to quality accurate software . It literally made the history of e-learning

Nachteile

There have been some problems on bugs management in the past ,but now the fixing process is ok

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

The user friendly interface is great for getting up and running quickly. There is a wide range of templates available to sense check against and get ideas from.The regular e-shot learning tips are super helpful and give us lots of ideas

Nachteile

Sometimes the restriction on the size of media files has been something we needed to navigate as we oftent have longer video content which exceeds the allowed file size.

Vorteile

As a package Articulate 360 does the lot. From speedy course development via Rise 360 through to creating more complex projects with that added wow factor via SL 360. In the beginning 360 asked a lot of me and the learning curve can be quite steep. Nowadays i am asking the questions and 360 typically delivers. As with most tools there are many ways of completing the same task and 360 does this well.

Nachteile

SL has seen a lack of investment from my POV whereas Rise has gone from strength to strength allowing the layman to rapidly development content. Don't make it too easy else i may be out of a job ;)

Vorteile

I used the trial version of Rise and loved it. It is so easy to create a publish an eLearning through Rise. It also has a huge library of stock images. I would highly recommend Rise 360.

Nachteile

It is restricted. I wish I could customize the blocks more. But I still like it!

Vorteile

One stop shop with easy-to-use tool like Rise to sophisticated development tool like Storyline.

Nachteile

I wish Storyline worked on the Apple platform.

Vorteile

This state of the art software will inspire you to build better courses! The thing I love about Articulate 360 is that it provides you with a beautiful user interface that will inspire your course creation. So many other course creation tools are clunky and slow. Articulate 360 is the exact opposite of that. It’s fast it’s super smooth in all of his operations, and because of that I find myself constantly inspired to create new content.

Nachteile

The worst thing about this software is that it cost over $1000 and they don’t have a payment plan or a monthly option.
