I have created a comparison chart for myself and my clients as well. Here's a few other things I included:
Q/A time required - one of the really big timesavers by using Rise is not only in the pre-built blocks for authoring, but the reduction in testing required before launching. It's pretty hard to 'break' Rise, unless you bring in Storyline blocks.
Narration - Rise is very restricted on where audio can be added. Storyline is so much more audio friendly. (I would love to see Rise audio capabilities expanded! This is a major client request.)
LMS tracking - Rise only tracks at the end of lessons or quizzes, whereas Storyline can bookmark individual slides. Again, it would be great if bookmarking additions could be included in Rise, even as a Storyline block. Or maybe they can and I just haven't done it yet?
Cognitive Load - Rise has a consistent look and feel, and operation of controls; reducing cognitive load for users from the program/screen design.
Accessibility - Storyline has more advanced accessibility features.
Client updatability - Rise is easier for clients to work with after development, as long as they have a license, of course.
