"Adobe is a Big name but falls short on an LMS"
2/5
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

Adobe integrates with the Adobe platform and is easy to create content and upload it with the adobe suite of tools. It is a large company and recognized everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

The interface is cumbersome, and the mobile experience is clunky. The system is like it was designed and used by accountants for finance people and then they want to use it for artists. You need a degree in excel for reporting and their overseas technical support is difficult at best. It is more technical than user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Acobe Captivate Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

So far, I've only transferred PowerPoint presentations, and the last lesson I did for my website was similar to the PowerPoint presentations I had previously exported into Captivate. I like the fact that I can transfer my presentations. After transferring them, I've added a verbal recording on each of the slides, which I also enjoy. I REALLY like the fact that I can have Knowledge Questions mixed into the presentation to help solidify what I'm teaching. From looking through the user guide, I know there's more to Captivate than what I'm using, but I don't know how to use the other features. Which leads me to what I don't like (the next question). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

The tutorials that exist are lacking (to say the least). And there are only a few tutorials for all of the benefits that Captivate offers. It's very disappointing. The current 'best-practice' I've found is to watch the tutorial or read the user manual, and then do your best to figure out what needs to happen. When I purchased Captivate, I wanted to use it to make the presentations for my music site. My site provides lessons to people who want to learn about music, reading music, and playing the piano. So, I finished my first presentation by exporting the PowerPoint presentation I had created, and then I had no clue how to get it on my site. Although I realize this isn't what Adobe offers, but I had to do a bunch of research to figure out how to get Captivate into my Word Press site. Even though this isn't a part of Adobe Captivate, why can't you send your customers to where they can begin to learn what to do? And from there, they can put everything together. To have no 'hand-off' to the next step to put this on a website is pretty tacky.

Also, not all of the Quiz question choices work (or at least I can't get them to work). I have problems with the fill-in-the-blank questions and short answer questions. There are cumbersome aspects to the quiz page that I struggle with - resizing the entry areas, in particular, is very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A next level LMS experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

You can import Training data and courses from any legacy LMS. I really like how this LMS allows you to manage both internal and external learners. Social learning is another feature which allows learners to upload their own content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

No proper onboarding material. Content from the course catalog requires a separate subscription. Also, maximum video upload size is 900 MB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
