Evolve allows us to quickly create interactive online courses, integrating our video content and branded templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the interface can be confusing or it's difficult to find properties to set up how objects work when authoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After experimenting and using a number of different authoring tools, Evolve is my personal favourite! It has loads of opportunity to make interesting and accessible digital learning, both in courses or even in different formats. You have a lot of capability to change the look and feel, design it to your heart's content, and provide a range of accessible activities for your learners. If you know the general structure of website design or authoring, it's an incredibly easy tool to pick and start making fully responsive content from the get-go. Even those who don't have a background do also pick up the tool easily. It lends itself well to a range of language and localisation, we chose this tool especially for these needs.There are loads of really helpful asset/content organisational tools as well. Allowing us to tag, organise and update assets and courses with ease. After working with a few organisations, I have introduced this tool in each, with great success.

Some have found it a wee bit hard to start with due to the number of options and abilities. However, if you have templates or key ways of setting up your resources, it does help to overcome this struggle. Also, version control is very strong, but each version/language acts as its own resource with no specific memory/links to the main version. Meaning updates must be made to multiple versions, rather than once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm keen on Evolve because it is:

- Very powerful

- Easy to use for content implementation

- Responsive

- Updated and improved regularly

- Offering an excellent knowledge base, including valuable courses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Theming is rather complicated compared with content implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The different options to elements and the preview and quick preview functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The different menu options, it takes ages to remember which menu each of the functions are in and sometimes you have to switch on a function in multiple places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to grasp the basics of Evolve, you can get started right away and put together something decent without too much experience, but there is plenty of complexity under the surface to let you refine that into something more unique, or twist it in creative ways.

The theming options are complex and unwieldy, it can be very hard to know what you actually need to change to achieve the desired result which can result in a lot of frustration and wasted time. We normally outsource the theming to somebody else as it's such a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Evolve is constantly improving their offerings with more interaction types and better authoring experience. The also have robust learning resources and virtual workshops to help new users get up to speed quickly. Our e-learning courses look modern and aligned with the company brand and are well received by learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Evolve allows authors to copy/paste content from other pages, it doesn't allow the resuse of content and we have to go to every instance to change the content if we copy the same content to other pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a seamless experience to publish content to Intellum, and the tool is easy to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few features I'd like to see, like hovering over text and seeing a pop up or blurb Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Evolve is robust and can run circles around tools like Storyline and Rise. The outputs are beautiul and responsive. I have been using this tool for years and will continue to leverge it for content development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a bit much. Setting up templates that look beautiful can take some time, but it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
