I am not liking the alignment and thsi software is some what tough for use for begainers 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.
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.
I liked how easy it was to learn how to get started and how powerful it can be once you really get to know it. It has allowed me to create a diverse, engaging set of eLearning for our partners and customers. Novice users can take advantage of an easy to use interface to create actions, while advanced users can execute javascripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the order in which you would like like to do things is not intuitive. There are some things after you work with it for awhile, you feel it should be able to do, but it can't in a direct manor, you need to find a "hack" to do it. The Mac version is a bit glitchy.

Ability to create responsive e-learning, which includes Question banks and assessments with full SCORM compliance. I also love the ability to publish content out to Youtube, and the ability to embed vimeo videos. The latest feature I have started to use is the ability to call slides up during a embedded video!.

Design haven’t changed much over the years. Sometime you just want the ability to create something really simple like a scorm embed of a video, captivate doesn't do this that well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Captivate since its conception, along with Corel. At the time, Captivate was the leader and maybe the only app for eLearning development. It was difficult to use, very powerful, loaded with features and certainly did the job.
I must have created over 300 eLearning SCORM and MP4 files over 20 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I came to dislike Captivate once I began to use other eLearning dev apps. And, as time went along, Adobe never updated or added new features to the app. Still today 2023, we are using a version from 2019.
This factor has lead me to use another app,
I only use Captivate for legacy projects, ones that have Captivate project files as the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating lessons on Captivate is a fairly easy process. It hasn't changed much in several years. So the process can be done quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface and voices are out of date with current technology. AI voices have improved dramatically over the last few years and easy integration of newer voices is not apparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have tried many tools previously but none of the tools helped me to create the content which were not only interactive but engaging as well. I like the wide variety of interactive elements it provides. The customization it provides also makes the thing feel as if it is mine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Adobe Captivate offers so many features for creating interactive eLearning content, I feel that its learning curve can be a bit steep, especially for those new to eLearning authoring. Although I previously had experience with it, so it didn't impact me much, but some people around me found it a little hard to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
