Articulate Storyline / Rise vs New Captivate
Thanks so much, Tiffany! Your response is very helpful, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into providing such a thorough insight.
Since my initial post, I've had the opportunity to test drive Storyline, and it feels a bit dated and clunky to me. I've also experimented with Adobe Captivate, and it's been an even worse experience.
By reading many posts in this forum I also see that Articulate sometimes takes years to address bugs and even basic issues.
So, if it comes down to choosing between Captivate and Storyline/Rise as our primary options, it appears we might need to make the best of the less inconvenient choice.
Thanks again for sharing your insights and helping me navigate this decision-making process!
I do think you should compare Articulate Storyline/Rise and Elearning Brothers Lectora Online/Desktop. One big difference is the webbased and thus Mac-compatible approach of Lectora Online, in which it thus is possible to really cooperate as a team. Other difference is that it uses CSS and you thus can style courses that way. And the approach to responsive design is different from Storyline. It gives the user 4 views he/she can independently design. Lectora however is more complex than Storyline and initially its a bigger learning curve. Allthough the community is good and helpfull, the forum of ELB has changed recently and is really a disaster in views of user friendliness and looks. In my opinion a serious elearning company has both Articulate tools and ELB/Lectora... to use when appropriate.
