I'd like some advice please. Can Articulate Review be used in place of publishing to a webpage or LMS. I don't need tracking/reporting for these particular projects. I know Articulate Review is not intended for this purpose and is intended as a 'review' tool only so could someone tell me what the downsides are as it's very handy to send out a link for people to access e.g. an induction and to just turn off the comments section.
As you said, Review 360 is intended for short-term reviews.
In my experience, Review's responsiveness can vary quite a bit, depending on how many people are accessing the servers at a given time. Putting up long-term content increases the drag on the system, which can decrease the responsiveness for everyone.
Other drawbacks:
The course is obviously on Articulate's website. It could seem suspicious to some users to see a URL that doesn't have your company's web address in it.
Depending on company standards, Review 360 might not be considered secure enough.
Even when you turn off comments, the info about the author is still visible. Thus, it doesn't look as professional and finished as a course provided via a web server.
A course in Review is associated with a specific author's Articulate account. If that author's account is deactivated, so is the course.
Bottom line: If you want to present final content, it should go on the company's web site (internet or intranet) or in the LMS.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive response Judy - that gives me the answer I was looking for and makes lots of sense.
Thanks again.
