Anyone else considering SL3 instead of 360? I apparently work at a company whose firewall is too thick and details for the effective operation of 360. Updates are not complete because some elements are blocked by our security plus we operate in an environment where we do not have admin rights to our computers.
What do you think of SL3? We already upgraded but find we are using SL2 still because of the issues we have with 360.
I recorded a screencast tossing up my feelings between 3 and 360, so it might be a helpful watch. My recommendations for the institution I worked at previously was to purchase Storyline 3; however, as a consultant, 360 makes a lot more sense.
We weighed the pros and cons and still went with 360. It has not been too difficult to have IT do our upgrades when needed as we are a small group. SL3 was attractive for the one time price and less upgrades. I would not go back to SL2. I am curious what issues you are having? I am sold on the new versions, be it SL3 or 360.
It depends really. This is similar to asking whether you want Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Creative Cloud. You have a perpetual licence, or you have access to everything on a rolling contract basis. The software is the same either way.
I am working currently with SL3 because a customer told us that they do not want to have their confidential content produced via a cloud tool. So thank to Articulate for the release of a non-cloud-software. Yes, I know that there is no data transfer to an external server with 360 but if the customer insist on non-cloud sofware.....
When I looked into the pros and cons and 360 made the most sense for us. The review process as well as the content library really have been a great addition to our toolbox
As a previous customer, I got a year of 360 for a heavily discounted price. I figured that I would use the year to decide if I would continue the subscription model or move to a standalone version. Thus far, there is no question that I prefer the subscription model. It is always easiest in this line of work to have access to the latest features and resources. Buying and upgrading standalone versions is akin to buying a new car every 1-2 years and not getting your money's worth due to depreciation.
Have you run into a problem? I'd start by confirming you're using the JAWS latest version and one of the browsers here. Can you tell us a bit more about what's happening?
This question kind of fits here I guess. We just got storyline 360 at work which is great, but I would like to know if I can transfer a course back and forth from Storyline 3 to 360. I personally own storyline 2 and I'm thinking of upgrading but I really don't want to pay a yearly cost of 360 but I do take work home. I could take my work laptop home but my home computer is much, much better to work on.
Storyline 3 project files can always be opened with Storyline 360, which is the latest version of Storyline.
Storyline 360 project files can be opened with Storyline 3 if they don't have features that are exclusive to Storyline 360. See this article for details!

Has anyone had any trouble with courses with narration and using Storyline 360 with Jaws?
Hi Erika,

Great question, Dane!
