Price Increase - Not Justified
I find it hard to believe that Articulate can justify increasing its prices while simple requests, some as old as ten years, have still not been actioned. Personally I feel just about everything I n...
+1 As a younger Instructional Designer who grew up using computers and is newer to the industry, Storyline felt antiquated the first time I used it. Whether it's the 10 year/multi-year forum threads of simple bug and feature requests, or software that is often slow and feels like it's from 2007. I often feel like I'm battling Storyline to get it to do what I want, versus the tool helping me do what I need it to. The current products definitely don't justify a price increase.
When will we get an alternative industry standard?
There are quite some alternatives.
Storyline you can replace with Lectora or Captivate.
Rise can be exchanged by Microsoft Sway or FlowSparks.
What do you think of the price increase Math, is it justified?
My company already cancelled most accounts. We now only have 2 seats for needed maintenance ( we had 10 or so ) and the projects made in Storyline are being redesigned in Lectora. So i do think it is overpriced. In fact i think they should made tools separate available. Rise360 has some appeal for those ( not me ) that want quick development without much ado. Personal i donot use Rise. I know of collegeas that use Rise, but when using Rise alone the price as is is far too high...let alone the price increase.
