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

The platforms ability to organize and use various mediums of content. I do appreciate the overall design and features as far as it works for a Learner: as in course access, learning plans, automatic enrolment and search functions. I have previously used captivate prime to schedule in person seminars with pre-requisites and sign-ins which I thought was nice. We have also created multiple courses that were video training clips and captivate prime worked well as a tool for distributing and tracking that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to track progress of staff could be improved, it is not the easiest to monitor a high number of employees. I wish there was a clearer spreadsheet or chart that could help track all employees in one place. Even under the administrator access I found the4 traceability of progress tedious and not clean. Functions in addition to what I have already suggested above with a spreadsheet is to be able to search by various filters, such as, employee name, location, course, manager, learning plan, date/time. I do believe all the pieces exist to make this happen already. This just needs to be integrated into the Manager role and above capabilities to improve ease of use. As an admin you could download the metadata to excel, however, tracking in that way is not convenient since it is a snapshot and as soon as anything is completed you would have to pull another report and find a way to compare and manage around that issue.

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

As an admin I dislike that I cannot "impersonate" a user like with any other LMS I've experienced. Also on the integration admin end the process is bulky and cumbersome with poor error messaging.

There are a good amount of features that in theory would be very useful but don't seem to have been thoroughly developed in practice, such as Import Logs only showing the user csv import, not custom role import. There is no way to see a queue of reports running or if a report will be exceptionally large, to cancel it. Also that running one large report stops others from running, I feel that for such a large company that Adobe could devote more server space to run more that one request at a time when dealing with an account of 100,000+ users.

Another piece that needs more development is the ability to filter - on pretty much anything. Inside of courses or programs there is no way to filter by name, completion status, etc. Same feedback on any course that has submissions enabled. In theory it's great that you can have users submit, but not having a way to filter or sort those submissions leaves them out of alphabetical order and mixes approved and awaiting approvals. There can be (and are in some of our courses) thousands of users in that list which makes the management from the instructor side frustrating.

Reporting on the admin side could be better, also more options than just dashboard bar graphs, perhaps a traditional report writer format would be more useful. Also, there should be access to a dashboard like the manager dashboard for admins, and the ability to share reports to people other than managers from the dashboard. It LOOKS like you can, but then it doesn't work.

Also the email template audiences should be customizable. For example, the "learner clears waitlist" template sends to admin, manager, and learner. We do not want that. We only want it to go to the learner as it creates and incredible amount of unnecessary "noise" when being sent to 200+ managers for a class they know is mandatory for their employees. This has forced us to turn off the notification which means that the learner only sees the info if they log back into captivate prime. Not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent learning calendar feature."
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager (formerly Adobe Captivate Prime)?

The thing I appreciate most about Adobe Captivate Prime is its ease of use and practicality. I have to admit that at first, it was a bit difficult, but when I started watching the instructional videos, everything started to fit together. As an intern, look at my training calendar, which I like a lot. It is easy to navigate and helps to plan the sessions you are training for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't like the way the software is shown and how it goes from user to administrator. As a student I think there might be more confinements on access. As a student, it was quite natural for me to get to the management that the group leader or operations manager was to be managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The support resources ought to be expanded in terms of videos and assistance archives. Even in high-end computers it does not run effectively. Lags are also noticeable using the LMS's differential features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Captivate Prime LMS is a very mature and well sourced LMS. It comes with the backing of Adobe which its Creative Cloud products are legendary. It's not that difficult to learn and has a wealth of features like offline access and learner tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This LMS is a little pricer than others, but then again, it's Adobe and you get top-notch support. It's also a bit inflexible in allowing customizing organizational structure and access rights. It can be done, but it's very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
