Adobe Captivate Reviews & Product Details

I like Adobe Captivate's easy ability to plug in scripting and interaction into the platform. There's a strong connection with the Creative Cloud suite, especially Photoshop and After Effects, which I prefer. So, integrating my learning tools or any tools used to create learning is very useful to me. The biggest value is that it gives me the ability to make content that stands out for the learner, which is geared towards ROI or impact. I appreciate the use of creative cloud and Adobe tools to create impactful content and media, making a huge difference in connecting with learners. Also, the installation is very simple; we just provision the license, and users can activate it by logging in with their email. It's very, very simple. We like all things Adobe already and would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes building simulations can be a little bit clunky in the screen recorder. I don't know if there's a way to solve for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I have not found one thing I like about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning to use this software is challenging. Adobe provides only video tutorials, which are poorly produced and ineffective for non-auditory learners. The narrators have distracting accents, and the content lacks clarity. The software itself is not user-friendly—basic tasks like deleting individual elements (e.g., a back arrow on a card slide) are unnecessarily difficult and often result in deleting the entire slide content. I have not found a way to remove just one element.

Additionally, the software does not allow you to embed videos from YouTube. Attempting to insert a video via copy and paste does not work either. These limitations significantly reduce its functionality. I do not recommend this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's flexible and relatively powerful once you know what your doing. It's a steep learning curve and not easy to start using if your not used to this sort of program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform seems very clunky and scattered to a new user. It makes it difficult to know what to do. It doesn't help that there are multiple versions, and each FAQ doesn't always link up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual Reality (VR) Integration: Supports the creation of VR training experiences using 360-degree images and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Collaboration Features: Unlike cloud-based tools like Articulate 360 or Elucidat, Adobe Captivate doesn’t natively support real-time collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it's a good price for my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the fuctions are limiting. I wish that I could do more with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way the courses are built to allow for better learner intergration. You add many features compared to other content development items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a while to learn and be comfortable with, they do provide training but it is not a simple program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how specific you can get with the Captivate timeline - how you can either drag and drop the effects' timing or type it in. I also love how many aspects you can group together to make it easy to edit how you want your project to turn out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve was big for me when I first started using Captivate, so I utilized several LinkedIn Learning courses to learn the basics of Captivate. Unless you have the time to commit to thoroughly learning this product up-front, you'll probably be frustrated with it while editing your projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
