iSpring Suite Reviews

I like the ease of the iSpring tab in my presentations. The online videos for quick and easy learning are fantastic and I have utilized them many times. It was great to watch more than I was looking for because I learned to do several things without even realizing I wanted to do them. The customer service is top notch and every question I've had when I couldn't find it in a tutorial has been answered quickly with super easy instruction!

I don't like that when I make a user inactive, they continue to show up in the users area, whether they completed or didn't complete the training. Along with that, if you've added someone to a group, you cannot remove them from a course; you have to delete everyone and add them back in.

Make sure you get a live demonstration. Ask questions about what you need or want to ensure they meet your expectations. Watch tutorial videos that are put out because they're super helpful!

Getting the required training out to those that are not local is very easy by using iSpring. I've had a great deal of difficulty stopping the amount of cheating that was happening with my previous LMS and I've been able to lock everything down to ensure students complete the training and the exam.

Essentially a plug-in for PowerPoint, this product allows you to convert PP presentations into e-learning courses coded in a number of different formats, including SCORM and HTML5. On top of that, there is a lot of proprietary content, including slide templates, background images, and hundreds of character images (with many different styles and poses). The suite also gives you the capacity to create quizzes and surveys, interactive images, dialogue simulations, and more. Overall, an outstanding product.

The only grievance I have with the product is that some of the interactive image players are not as customisable as I would like, but the customer service team has been fantastic in helping me find workarounds, or forwarding my queries to the development team for potential updates.

Our old LMS e-learning creation tool was very limiting, this software allows us to create courses that are much more interactive and engaging for our staff, as well as the ability to create them at a much faster rate.

5 Awesome features which I like in iSpring Suite are 1. Built-in eLearning Support, 2. Instant eLearning 3. Smart Conversation Simulations 4. Advanced Animation Support 5. Interactive Assessments. And you can use iSpring suite for branching scenarios, very effectively. The iSpring suite allows you to make the best use of training videos, where you can insert learning elements into the slides of your technology-enabled learning materials in a seamless manner.

There is no option to update/modify font size for Menu (Outline) text and Course title in the Player.

Yes, With innovative technologies and exciting features in place, the iSpring Suite is all set to revolutionize the development of e-learning programs across the globe.

With the above-mentioned feature, if the iSpring suite team updates the feature in the next version, it will help us a lot for the end customers.

Ispring Suite is definitely a great authoring tool create quick and effective content for Elearning. The platform is alike a plug and plays unit, which gets easily configured to your PowerPoint. The UI is so simple and user-friendly so that one doesn’t need a prior experience to curate the eLearning content.

The recording feature which includes screen capture is a great inbuilt tool for creating quick capsule videos with live narration.

You can export the content to multiple formats which can load quickly and runs on a huge range of browsers and devices. The loading time in seconds is very important in an era where “learning can happen over a coffee”.

The interactions, quizzes, animations create a new learner experience and help the instructor to measure the learner’s progress

One thing I want to be specific is on the huge content library which has got plenty of characters from different industry with different poses. Also, the galaxy of templates makes the content creation an interesting one.

The Customer and Technical support team have done a commendable job when I had some doubts about the exported module.

The ability to integrate easily with much new age moodle learning platforms like Talent LMS is a significant feature.

Finally you have a product which doesn’t require a complex qualification or technical knowledge to curate an eLearning. Great Job ISpring Team

Honestly I don’t think I have something at the moment

Code of Conduct Roll out and other Specific Micro Learning programs

The usability is iSpring's biggest asset, but the company itself is a close second. They have the passion and hunger of a start-up, constantly improving their product, reaching out to customers, and sharing useful tutorials. They respond to customer service requests - if you ever have a need for one - in minutes.

There's nothing to dislike about iSpring. As it evolves, it will become more robust, but any customer of these folks can tell the sky's the limit.

You'd be hard-pressed to find another product that is easier to use or learn than iSpring. Given the constant growth of the content-library, I expect this tool will emerge as a leader in course-authoring software.

I'm able to create interactive lessons, for my staff and students, without breaking the bank each time.

iSpring Suite is a very intuitive tool to easily transforming PowerPoint into an eLearning course in record time.

The features are rich for a Rapid Learning software, with quizzes, interactions, dialogue simulations, screen recordings, the iSpring library with its characters, backgrounds and so on.

In addition, eLearning courses are responsive, with an adaptive player for any supports.

Sometimes iSpring crashes and I lose a lot of my work.

iSpring suite only allows you to create linear modules.

You can not trigger a voice on multiple objects in the same screen.

ISpring I use for different projects, some eLearning courses are created from A to Z, but it happens that some customers just need to add the player, and where it was not allowed to touch the content.

All the functionality we need to create powerful eLearning, easy to find and use that functionality, with first class service and support on the one or two occasions it has been required - never to do with failures of the software, just us.

There is nothing I can think of criticizing.

Trial it and exercise all of the functionality you can , don't try to create a real eLearning course, just understand what iSpring can do by trying it.

We needed to take classroom training and create an effective eLearning system for experienced management consultants, new consultants, and business managers to learn the method and how-to of Advanced Management Consulting. We now have CEO's, CxO's, internal and external consultants learning and using the concepts and skills.

Perpetual licences, modern well made product, great customer service.

For my business, I use so many different software applications. It can really get expensive when there are so many subscription only products out there, given the fact that I don't use all my software every month, it can become really wasteful renting certain software. The fact that ispring does not force you to use a subscription model is a huge selling point for me. I really don't understand why other software developers choose to remove the choice of owning a perpetual licence. Thank goodness that there are products like iSpring on the market who choose to attract customers by developing a competitive product and by providing excellent customer service rather than exploiting a captive audience.

There are some missing features when it comes to interactions and quizzes when compared to some other elearning authoring platforms. Improved video integration and better timeline/trigger controls that are less reliant on clunky Powerpoint functionality would be great.

If you find on first impression iSpring cannot do something that you want it to don't give up, speak with customer support. I was proven wrong on more than one occasion. They are very helpful and would often provide bespoke example files and video demonstrations.

The biggest business problem that is solved by ispring is the fact that I treat ispring as a business asset rather than a monthly overhead due to the perpetual licence model. I also enjoy the flexible licencing system.

The software is also much more competitive in terms of price and is very well integrated into Powerpoint with little to no learning curve. What a smart decision to do this as a powerpoint plugin rather than reinvent the wheel.

• Ease of use

• Integrated Audio and Video Features

• Integration with PowerPoint exploiting Office suite of products

• Web-Based publications adaptive to nay devices including Personal PCs and Laptops

• Not sure if their ongoing YouTube posted Webinars do justice as part of their supposedly skills ramp-up. The presentation style is average, when it comes to Webinar type training program.

• If you are considering to exploit rich and integrated functions of Audio and Video and presentation styles using PowerPoint, I strongly recommend this product.

• I am very pleased with their account team and support staff who will work with you closely to answer queries and/or product related questions.

• Creating PowerPoint Presentations that can be animated with clear Audio and Video integrations plus rich iSpring Functions and Features

• Excellent learning aid development. Beats their competition for similar products in the Market.

It is very user friendly in that it is an add-on to PPT so most people are familiar with the formatting required. It has many of the features that educators need to enhance lesson planning and enable our curriculum to inculcate new technological methodolgy which young students crave in today's device ruled society.

I only wish that the faeture requirement for the flipbook would be enhanced to include quizzes and videos and audio - sort of like the PC version of iBooks Author. Then it would be perfect for our use.

I would suggest that you look around at other options then you will see that iSpring has the best value for money and the quickest way to produce an effective presentation in a short amount of time. It still needs some attributes added, such as better character poses and downloadable character packs, and a more enhanced flipbook but the support team listen and add items quickly. They also updated the version based on a problem I had with reading on a smartphone and it only took them a week to do that. Not many other companies work nearly as wuickly as that.

It's not that difficult to create good lessons using iSpring as it is mostly user friendly so we are hoping that it can become widespread after the initial teething problems are sorted out with how to use the software effectlively in o

PPT 2010 and 2013 integration. If you are a wizard in PowerPoint then this tool is an absolute MUST!

Not much to dislike in this product. The only thing to note is that your machine should be up to scratch as publishing video heavy E-Learning which iSpring does brilliantly does require at least an I7 processor with 8-16 RAM (16 at least is better to avoid slow downs).

Yes definitely go ahead and give this solution a trial run. It is especially useful if you intend to up-skill a junior team or individuals that are struggling with the complexities of the other solutions out there.

It's simple if you are comfortable in PPT which most people are then you are 75% there to becoming an e-learning developer - iSpring will just take you to the next level.

All the e-learning we produce is published in iSpring Suite. We regularly produce e-learning solutions for numerous clients from SME's to large corporates. They all want and need e-learning solutions that are cost effective and flexible. We have found iSpring to be the BEST and most hassle free tool to fulfil the needs of our clients.

We use a variety of tools to produce various outcomes for e-learning but what is great is that we can incorporate any and all videos into iSpring and publish everything in one place. This tool is really brilliant for this.

I am probably the opposite of a power user as e-learning was completely new to me.

As someone outside of the e-learning industry looking to get started, I chose iSpring because it is integrated with PowerPoint and I didn't waste time learning the ropes. It is stable and I have found their support to be outstanding (both sales and technicians). I first learned of iSpring on this site which is why I am writing the review for others. They also have a Non-Profit Organization rate which was appreciated (Note that you will have to provide proof that you are an NPO which our accountant provided)

For anyone out there getting started, I used Wordpress.org as my web platform, LearnDash as my LMS, Grassblade as my LRS, and iSpring for content creation.

I had an issue early on where I added some narration and then moved the file without moving the associated directory. This resulted in my thinking that my voice work had been lost but tech support helped me easily re-integrate it to my lesson. I wish I had known about that off the start but it seems obvious in hindsight.

If you are looking to not waste a lot of time getting acquainted with the program, I would recommend iSpring.

This is being used to offer our educational content to the design community across Canada and reach out to those who are further away.

After three years of use, iSpring continually performs at or above expectations. We're able to deploy hour-long training to a number of clients. The quality of the presentations is high; downtime has been nonexistent; training is relevant and helpful; and on the few occasions we've had questions for support, they've been answered promptly and effectively.

We don't currently use iSpring's LMS, so we're unable to automatically provide completion certificates for training.

iSpring delivers the ability for companies of any size to quickly deploy professional presentations.

Part of our services is providing HIPAA Compliance training to small to medium-sized medical practices in our community. We tried several options to deliver online training, but all were cumbersome and did not appear polished and professional. We knew within minutes of seeing iSpring for the first time, that this was the solution for us.

I like the simplicity of the product to take a quick training and turn it into something a little more appealing. It is great for our trainings that have a shorter shelf-life.

You just made a change in the 9 version that does not allow you to adjust the SCORM settings to # of slides viewed. I am no longer able to add a hidden slide into the count. We use hidden slides for knowledge checks and quizzes. To pass the student must view all non-hidden slides PLUS ONE hidden slide for the correct answer. Now, they can just click next, next, next and don't actually have to answer the question. This also means that we have to go back and fix all of our past training that we have rendered the correct way. This is so time consuming and wasteful that I am not convinced this is the correct product for me anymore.

We initially purchased an iSpring license so that we could create quick trainings and help our senior leadership with their presentations. While it is quick initially, the changes made that don't accommodate previous versions of your product make it more time consuming that we could have imagined.

I love that this product works well with PowerPoint, which is what I use to create all of my training programs. I love that I can create simulations, quizzes, and really create a polished training program. I can even record a video lecture that displays simultaneously with the slides.

Extra content and online hosting for the training is VERY expensive. The exported version of the e-learning course does not play well with all Learning Management Systems. If you are looking to use iSpring Suite for your e-learning courses, make sure you check the compatibility with your online LMS and pricing before purchasing this product.

This is a great product if you are comfortable with PowerPoint and do not want to switch to another e-learning tool. The product itself is affordable, but just know you will need to pay an additional $400 a year for access to the content library (templates) and $1000+ year to host your course on iSpring's learning management system (or find another LMS is compatible with iSpring).

This really helps me to create polished e-learning courses and add the interactivity I was looking for. It has some additional features, such as a glossary and timeline feature that is very helpful with some of my courses. It also has built in quiz software.

ISping Suite uses MS Powerpoint to do most of the heavy lifting. Having used powerpoint for a number of years the interface is familiar. Powerpoint continues to grow as a product and provide easy options to produce a sleek looking end-user course or tutorial while ISpring Suite provides extended options to enhance, produce and develop courses, tutorials and presentations. ISPringsuite is SCORM compliant and as it's using Powerpoint can have just about any content put into it, from video, images, text, quizzes, timers etc. Support is good and pretty quick to respond (normally within 24 hours or less).

There's a library for templates, people interactions and slide creation to save time an make things look even more professional. Water-marking and URL locking as well as being able to access a finished product from platforms like Amazon S3 ensure your hard work isn't going to get stolen.

My biggest bug-bear with ISpring Suite is a one device per licence install. Other products (although might seeming to be more expensive) end up being the same price with slightly more features than ISpring if you need to use it on a laptop and desktop pc, as ISpring expect you to pay for another "seat" to use it on another device (even for a single person). Clearly the marketing and product sales teams have not thought through that buyers will often do a lot of research before purchasing. To be honest there are few products I have purchased with this kind of restriction.

Training on using ISpring Suite is scant to say the least. The demo's that they have on the site should be accompanied with videos to show how each one was produced, Downloading a demo doesn't tell you all about the various timers, transitions and such like that were used and how they were all pulled together to make a final product.

It's a good product and easy to use. The 1 license one device is a real let down though so consider that before purchase. Depending what you want to achieve then just plain old powerpoint can suffice or H5P. But if you need SCORM and be able to track and test people then you'll need a better product ad that's where this will meet your needs.

ISpring Suite allows organisations to extend how they develop and disseminate information and training. Even simple things such as a user guide for Wordpress administration for a new website owner can be provided in an easy to follow format using ISpring Suite. Although much more sophisticated learning and development can be achieved.

But some times it the quick and simple stuff that ISpring Suite can help you achieve in no time at all as it allows you to produce it and share it online easily. I recently created a tutorial an shared it via Amazon S3. Another nice feature is the url lock, which allows a finished product that can only be used from a specific url reducing the opportunity for it to be copied!

I love the accessibility to the customer support easy and understanding. The software is easy to use and has wonderful capabilities. The customer support individuals are intelligent and willing to stay after hours to make sure issues are taken care of.

The only thing I would change if any would be the ability to publish a power point with voice recording that still allows the minimum duration of the slide to be changed for individualized use.

Give it a try, even if you use other software because this software is newer than most. If you ever get stuck always know you can depend on customer support to assist you with your concerns. They are available 24/7

Power point computerized based training development for healthcare professionals accessibility through health stream without glitches or issues. The benefits I realized is all the capabilities of the software are up to date with new technology features and wonderful detailed assistance from customer support in identifying issues and correcting them.

1,. No new software to install: Ispring suite sits as an add-on for powerpoint and adds powerful functionalities to create courses.

2. Adds e-learning authoring easy: I had no prior experience in creating e-learning modules and I found working with the familiar powerpoint interface iSpring makes it easy to create professional looking courses. All the transitions, animations and hyperlinks are faithfully converted by iSpring into HTML5 format in no time

3.Excellent Quiz module: I have used the quiz and found it very intuitive to use. It is easy to create quiz and I like the ability to be able to view how the quiz looks to the learner in the same screen

4. Last, but not least, amazing support: Right from the time of evaluation of their software during the trial period till today, I found the support team was quick to respond and took time to hand-hold at each and every step. The support team just stick to support and make no attempts to sell their products. I want to mention Paul who came to work one hour earlier today and spent that extra hour to solve my unique problem. I would recommend iSpring just on this count: world-class support!!

Not much to report till today ( I have used it for >2 months)

If you are familiar with powerpoint and want to make e-learning modules, this is a great software. Keep in mind it works only in windows platform

Creating e-learning modules for healthcare skills training

Really easy to use to get great results. Incorporated straight into PowerPoint, you get a familiar user interface, with the ability to add additional elements to bring presentation and eLearnint content to life with interactions and quizzes that you just can't create in native PowerPoint. There are lots of useful templates to work from, so it's quick to do, and other time-saving tools, like screen recording and graphics built-in should you need them. HTML5 export is also terrific, with a very reliable conversion engine to accurately capture your graphics, animations, and transitions (including morph) into useful HTML5 (which can be SCORM-compliant for eLearning).

Would love more customization on interaction and quiz templates, but that may detract from the speed with which you can create content.

Give it a go. The trial is great, but short, so think about a project to actually implement it with. Investigate all of the functions/toolsets and you'll likely find things that you'll use really well.

It's a very quick way to rapidly author interactive content and eLearning. We also find that it's a very reliable HTML5 conversion tool for PowerPoint, which allows easy access to content for anyone, with the ability to create micro-sites very quickly.

I love the variety of formats available both for quizes and in the content library. I-Spring's customer service has been amazing and efficient. I have utilized the live chat on multiple occasions, and have also had very quick responses and resolutions to my problems via email to iSpring's customer support. Overall, I love how easy it is to transform a dry presentation into a interactive and entertaining course.

I have had some difficulties with some of the functions (i.e. quizes) not transfering when my PPT has been emailed from my laptop, on which the presentation was built, to another laptop.

My company has to provide a 40 hour training course to all direct line staff, within 60-90 days of hire. By designing our own course using iSpring, we have not only reduced training costs significantly, but also been able to train more quickly due to not having a limited number of seats in the course we had purchased.

What has impressed me most is the response from the support people to my two issues. You really appreciate a company when you have a difficulty and they come to the rescue. Both times the response was rapid, professional, focused (I didn't feel they were working to a script even if they were), personalized and accurate.

As most of my working files are synchronized using OneDrive I have to create/publish the iSpring-content powerpoint files in a separate area, and then remember to back that up to a synchronized area regularly. This was one of the issues I didn't understand at first but at least the support people very quickly helped me understand and deal with it

I would recommend trying iSpring for developing e-learning or creation of short videos, especially if you already have original material (powerpoint presentation) to maximize their potential

We are using powerpoint files which we already have for classroom-based delivery as the basis for creating e-learning (online self-study) versions. The benefit is mostly the 'not having to start from scratch', although the test/quiz facility is very good for adding knowledge-check functionality in a number of ways

I absolutely love this software, pure and simple, but as one would expect, on occasion I've hit bumps along the way. Nothing wrong with the software, just "I don't know how to" or "why is that doing that?" The level of support has been second to none. Quick, clear, simple and supportive.

So which do I like better, the Software or the Support? Sorry, but I can't answer that.

There is nothing that I would list as something I dislike.

I'm a bit like like Oliver, in the Movie

"Please Sir I want some more",

but that's a discussion between me and them.

Not Business, Educational. I use it for Business & Accounting Students in an Irish Second Level (Middle & High School equivalent) School. For creating

Online

Interactive

self correcting

Self reporting

Presentations, Quizzes & (for me most importantly) book keeping exercises.

As for me, it the most complete software for e-learning, that can be use be a university teacher like me.

the greatest point are :

Integration in powerpoint

frequent new features

very efficient support

the new talkmaster tool

Well, it's not "dislikes" but suggestions :

there is a lack of "interaction" tools compare to articulte (but articulate as no rela integraiton in powerpoint!).

I would like to have negative point in talkmaster when my student use the wrong "pathway" in the simulation.

It's not compatible with mac, which annoy some colleagues of me.

I tried a lot of software and this is for me, the best, with en affordable price

I'm assistant professor and I can create full e-learning lessons for students and healthcare professionals.

Since we have Ispring, We have trained healthcare professionals from all around the world!

This is probably the only tool that can convert PPT to a purely HTML5 presentation without any supporting flash files. Since Flash is going away soon and many LMS platforms don't accept Flash files, this is very important for user accessibility.

Screen capturing tool is subpar. We were planning to replace the screen capturing tool we are currently using with the iSpring one, but found the latter misses 90% functionality of the former.

It's a great Suite for the money. Not every part of it may be useful though

We use iSpring to create HTML5 based learning presentations for our online students. We mostly work with ppts and voiceovers that have to be converted into mobile friendly lectures with audio, notes, exercises, etc.

The interactivity, simulation ability and ease of use with PPT since I'm already an avid user of PPT.

That it doesn't run on the Mac. I had to purchase a PC to be able to use it, but because it's a long -term business goal, it was worth the investment.

Some challenges with watching on Mobile and instability with using it on iSpring Play.

The only other challenge was the learning curve with understanding SCORM since that was new to me and how best to setup the interactivity for reporting purposes inside an LMS that it would be hosted.

Turning my live training into highly interactive e-learning more for my clients. It's a great tool to include the interactivity inside the tool so I can port it to any LMS and it's independent of the interactivity that the LMS has.

I love iSpring as it uses a platform that I'm already very familiar with - PowerPoint. When I compare it to other e-learning authoring tools, it compares favorably in terms of cost, ease of use and functionality. iSpring also has excellent customer support - very important when you're working to deadlines!

I don't think I've found anything I dislike as yet!

Try the risk-free trail and see what you think!

iSpring allows me to create interactive, attractive e-learning content with access to an array of features, characters, and other assets.

In regard to the product,: the interface is very intuitive and easy for the user (trainee) to access. Administration of content is very straightforward. There are lots of options to customize content.

The fact that ipsring tech support is the most "SUPERIOR" support I have had on any product is a huge plus. They respond immediately and see the issue to the end, providing pic and video examples. They truly invest the necessary time to solve issues.

Just began implementation and ran into a few glitches in creating and uploading content. But, due to the superior support we I have found solutions and work a-rounds.

Great value, superior tech support, you truly get more than you pay for in support and webinars.

We were in need of a self-managing training program to conform to our ISO9001/AS9100 quailty standards.

Training modules are easy to create in ispring and uploaded to the LMS, ilearn. Users access the training through any computer or mobile device. Which consists of a slide presentation with audio narration, animations, and video. Users complete the training with a quiz Administrators receive or run reports of progress and quiz results.

iSpring is very easy to use. The after purchase support offered by the company is second to none. We are utilizing iSpring Suite 8 as well as using iSpring Cloud to produce course content for over 3,000 students. We have seamlessly integrated this with SharePoint.

The ability to be able to change files without changing linked codes has saved me many hours of work and I can't thank iSpring enough.

The only improvement at this time that I would like to see is with the tracking functionality. I find that I often time out when trying to find out the number of views and unique views of certain files that I have uploaded.

With regards to iSpring Quizzes, I would like to have the ability to format the pages in a more easy manner and also, when the quizzes are viewed on a mobile device, the actual page that we have set up can be viewed. We have put images on the page for the students to answer questions about only to find on the mobile device they can't view the images.

Give it a go. Once I worked out how to use the programs (which was quite easy) it made my development work so much easier and saved me a lot of time.

Mainly reliable access for our students and instructors. We used a different program last year for quizzes and it was very hit and miss. You could have two students accessing the same quiz and get two different answers. iSpring Quizzes allows students to have access to their results immediately - no waiting for teachers to mark the practice quizzes. With the hours of testing we have not found these same issues with iSpring quizzes.

I took a bit of a risk purchasing the iSpring suite 8. It isn't cheap software. However when you have bought it you realise the potential you have to innovate and enliven lessons - which is definitely worth the money. i am an educator in a large third level college in Northern Ireland. I have produced a number of websites to try and open up learning 24/7 to my pupils and this has been successful - to a point. I found iSpring has filled the gap I couldn't reach. I was able to produce the needed interactivity and pupil response needed to make the websites much more effective. I used the iSpring quiz sections to create a range of quizzes. Pupils love these as end of topic reviews. They make learning fun. iSpring has a large range of quiz questions from multiple choice to missing words to word banks to hot spot sections where pupils have to identify key areas. There are matching and sequencing sections too which are very popular . I publish the quizzes as Flash documents - This literally takes a few seconds. I then upload the flash document to the website and voila you have a fully functioning quiz. This is an example of some of the quizzes - I have not reached the full potential of the software using them but it allows you to get an idea http://www.laganhistory.com/gcse-interactive-quizzes.html

I have also used the interactive timeline features which are obviously amazing for a History teacher. You can produce these very easily. These are my examples http://www.laganhistory.com/gcse-timelines.html

There are still a large number of areas I am still to use too. The software is superb and I regard it as a very good investment - as do my pupils!!

The only area that is a problem is the use of flash. This is great on most computers but doesn't work as yet on all iPads and is a technology seemingly on its way out. However, this is being addressed by iSpring using HTML 5 now - I have to work out how to use this

This is a great SET of tools . Just work out how to use it most effectively

This is fabulous for the e learning market!!

The tool managed to capture all of the more detailed interactiosn that I did in PowerPoint and even added more value within the Slide Properties for more branching. Quiz maker is easy to use and has ample features to help with the learning process.

Small gripe but would lie to be able to position interactions on a slide and resize them to suit.

It's a tool that supports superior course authoring in PowerPoint.

Futureproofing and collaborative authoring by using PowerPoint.

1. Narration Editor (Synchronize media and slide)

2. iSpring Cam Pro (powerful new editor, now can use it to create video project and publish)

iSpring app on mobile. Although function is simplify, but the compatible with smartphone and browser still not very well.

Course and material transform to e-learning is a future trend, so this industry is very developmental for us.

iSpring products provide convenient and fast tools for schools and businesses that need to produce digital courses to their employee or students.

It's very useful and solved many problems.

The iSPring suite is an excellent course authoring tool. It is intuitive and there are frequent webinars with very helpful instructions for different ways to use the product. The customer service / tech support is EXCELLENT.

I do like so many things about iSpring, I would love for this company to partner with other LMS vendors for Quiz intigration. I know that iSpring has their own LMS but for organizations with long term existing LMS vendor relationships it would be most helpful for partnerships between other LMS vendors.

Any one who is searching for a robust course authoring tool, I would encourage you to trial iSpring. I had the advantage I seeing how a peer used this tool and heard about the benfefits directly. iSpring is the tool you didn't know you need but you do need it!

The business problem that we are solving with iSpring Suite is that this tool is so flexible and intuitive while being cost effective.

iSpring has made creating our LMS trainings a breeze! Before we began using it, creating LMS was a tedious task and we had only a limited number of customized trainings available. Most we offered were "canned" trainings that didn't quite fit our needs, but were "close enough".

There are very few things we dislike about iSpring. Occasionally I will run into it not being able to put the training together like I first imagined, but there is usually a way to get it close to what I want.

I do note that their character selection for use during simulations is limited. There is not a wide variety of sex/race/age available.

Prior to using iSpring, our trainings were boxed, generalized trainings. Now we have customized trainings tailored to our company that are easy to produce and distribute. It has made it so much easier for us to roll out new and updated trainings and to insure compliance.

I have been a long term user of iSpring Suite. Over the years, I have found that the company is dedicated to continually improving their products. I receive frequent updates that include new features as well as product fixes. When I recently had an issue with using the product, I contacted support for assistance. I found the support engineer, Anna, to be very helpful and concerned that I was satisfied before she closed out the support case.

I had an issue with audio levels on the MP4 videos that I create for my webinars. After discussions with iSpring support, they determined that the audio volume on the MP4 video was connected to the volume of my external speakers during the process of publishing the video. Apparently I was the only one to point out this issue. Hopefully, support will add the solution to this issue to their documentation in case anyone else encounters the issue in the future.

I record webinars using iSpring Suite as an add-in to PowerPoint 2016. I have tried using PowerPoint 2016 directly, MIX, a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in, and Camtasia Studio's PowerPoint add-in. iSpring Suite 8.5 is easier to use than the alternatives and provides more functionality for producing my webinars. iSpring Suite 8.5 also saves me time by providing an audio recording timeline and consistent video rendering times.

I record webinars used to train banking professionals. iSpring Suite enables me to manage the audio and video directly within PowerPoint. Specifically, the audio timeline helps me to time my webinars. I have tried doing this directly from PowerPoint, but I have to manually add the audio times for each of the slides after the recording is complete to be sure that I haven't exceeded the allotted time for the webinar. iSpring provides the cumulative recorded time in the Manage Narration window.

We have purchased the iSpring Suite as well as iSpring Flip. These software's are exceptionally intuitive to the user and everything is very well-integrated. The icing on the cake however is the amazing Customer Service. Our Maintenance Plan had expired with iSpring Flip and when I accidentally updated to the new version I had an annoying watermark appearing on the doc. But Sandra and especially Paul from Customer Service came to my aid and helped me out within minutes.

Some details on our Licence Certificates had to be changed and Sandra almost instantaneously fixed it for me.

I also get regular emails from Lyuba and Polina giving me the latest news and seeing if I need any help.

Overall, I sincerely commend this Amazing team !

The iSpring suite gives me the flexibility to create lots of interactions, quizzes & surveys and, the thing I love the most is the ability to create a simulated conversation wherein all my users enjoy doing such courses as it keeps them engaged.

We implemented the Learn Upon LMS even before we got iSpring Suite and hence do not use the iSpring LMS. However, converting docs into SCORM as a zipped file is seamless and works best for us.

iSpring has a great content library but is not free. Very limited options in the free stuff.

It gives us a Lifetime licence to use the product BUT upgrades are nearly the same cost as the original software. We are currently on version 8.7 but my boss refused to upgrade to 9.0 as the cost of the upgrade was not affordable. I strongly feel that upgrades as well as Maintenance Plans should be cheaper so that the customer doesn't feel the pinch.

It's like buying an affordable car and not using it as much as the fuel price is not affordable.

If you are familiar with PowerPoint and want to make e-learning modules, this is a great software. Keep in mind it works only in windows platform and not yet MAC compliant.

But don't fret and give it a try, even if you use other software because this software is newer than most.

If you ever get stuck always know you can always depend on the awesome customer support team to assist you with your concerns. They are available 24/7 and are an amazing team.

Training staff has become a lot easier as the courses that we have created using iSpring are a loot more intuitive and engaging. We are seeing our users performance going up each year.

I switched from another quiz program due to feedback from others about ISpring, and I was very pleased with the product. I was however concerned, as a nontechi, about customer support. Michael rather than just stating the product will not do what I needed it to, investigated the situation and came up with a solution. He responded timely and empathetically. The product is great, but having excellent customer service is what helps me decide to stick with a program or not. Great job!

Was not able to export to Word or Excel, and no option for a one time low cost update of softwear such as Quizmaker.

I only have Quizmaker, but love it.

Creating a functional pre and post test for online classes.

This tool is intuitive to use. Your existing skills with PowerPoint mean you can immediately start using the tool and navigate through the menu options to create your e-learning package. The "how to" videos and FAQs are very helpful and if you have any queries the staff will work hard to help you resolve your issue. I can't fault the product or the support so far.

Nothing so far - its been such a positive experience.

The iSpring Suite has provided me with another way to provide value to my clients. I have a way to packaging up lower level content and providing a more cost effective but interactive and practical suite of training. This enhances the more complex work I might do face-to-face.

Honestly, the chat support and email support are fantastic. I haven't asked a question yet that they didn't have an immediate answer, available screen shots, and a blog post or tutorial to help.

I work for a very small company and we develop our training internally. We've only used powerpoint until I got iSpring approved. And it's helped us make high quality elearning modules very quickly, with no stress since the features and layout are familiar.

The tools in their Quiz Maker software opened a lot of doors for evaluating employee understanding, and the Simulator enables us to create realistic interactions to train our sales staff and CSRs. That type of experiential training before we put them in front of a client has built their confidence tremendously, and we're seeing the results of the training in the shortened onboarding period.

So far, I haven't disliked anything. As I learn the tools, I'm sure there will always be things we 'want', but so far, I haven't found anything that would hinder my ability to create professional quality training.

Use the demo software. I tested the evaluation versions of the converter and the Suite both before deciding. If you're on the fence because you just need a converter, go for the full package. It is so worth the money!

Even though my company is small, we've widely dispersed. So, for us, the ability to build a library of reproducible training for anyone to access and complete at a time that's convenient for them is a huge help. Until now, we've used video conferencing or traveled to deliver training.

While we will continue to hold traditional, instructor-led courses for the major training, we plan to channel reviews and refreshers, as well as on-demand content, to our LMS with eLearning content.

The fact that you can use your standard office tools and enrich it so you can use your material in an LMS system. In most organizations there is already a lot material used in classrooms that can me used. Not by rebuilding but simply add something to it. In combination with other tools like SharePoint online and LMS365 we are able to build our onw business school, the Priva Academy.

The plugin seems to take over the control of PowerPoint. You can not start a second PowerPoint presentation and open ISpring on that PowerPoint file too.

There are different templates settings. For language, layout, players, publishing etc.. Some templates are stored per PowerPoint. Some are stored general like the publishing settings. This can cause mistakes.

If you are using already standard office tools, do not look for special authoring tools any more. This works fine.

The ambition of Priva is to be known as the leading technology and service provider for sustainable urban deltas: circular economies based on greentech and smart building. We create an optimal environment in which people and plants experience the best way to grow, using leading-edge technology, products and knowledge. We are proud that our solutions result in lower use of natural recourses like energy and water.

We have about 400 Priva employees and a partner network with about 2000 engineers all over the world. Sharing our knowledge in classrooms takes a lot time, has a high negative influence on our CO2 footprint and causes overhead. Using ISpring in combination with SharePoint online and LMS365 we create our climate for growth sharing knowledge with 2400 people all over the world and are proud that this solution creates the best CO2 footprint you can think off.

I like the ability to utilize the MS PowerPoint components with iSpring.

Editing the audio and animations could be improved.

I'd like to see more enhancement to the ability to edit audio (I also use Audacity for recording audio) and the animations in PowerPoint. I've experienced some issues when previewing and publishing which slowed down my progress. The support is very good and helpful.

I think the library of images and the search engine could also be expanded.

Curriculum development

e-Learning

Ability to deploy via the learning management system is very easy.

I've been able to take highly complex Power Point presentation, embed interactive web objects that utilize a programming IDE, and make wonderful presentations that convert to an obfuscated HTML 5 file with relative ease.

While the software is impressive, what's even more impressive is the support. I've asked a number of difficult, unique questions and they staff took the time to investigate, solve and show me the solutions. I am only using iSpring for a short time, but am off and running better than expected. I am extremely happy all around.

I have nothing bad to say about iSpring.

Definitely try it!

We are creating a programming bootcamp

iSpring is easy to use, if you're already familiar with PowerPoint. There is a small learning curve, but it's pretty straightforward compared to learning a whole new piece of software. It's also right up there as an extension in PowerPoint itself, so you don't have to import into a new program to get the conversion going. You can do some great stuff with PowerPoint interactions alone, so having an easy way to convert that to a clean, web-ready format is great. The quiz maker is also very straightforward.

The Quizmaker is great in terms of quiz functionality and control in most ways, however it could benefit from more formatting options within answer choices. Currently pictures can be added to answer choices but have limited capabilities for resizing. The option to add animations to quiz graphics would also be helpful, as animations are currently limited to answer choices.

iSpring Suite has great support, if you have a question or need to trouble shoot. They're a responsive bunch and quick to help out when you need it. Their webinars are informative and can give you some great ideas.

I am creating interactive learning modules for a language learning platform. iSpring has helped me to create beautiful interactions based in PowerPoint and easily convert them to a web-ready format. The customer service has been excellent and the ease of use has saved me time.

iSpring Suite is integrated into the normal Office PC environment.

You can start immediately and learn more functions step by step.

Th voice syncronisation between voiceover and animation is very powerful.

It integrates perfectly with moodle and many other LMS.

There is no App necessary for the learner, because it is absolutly the best PowerPoint to HTML5 export I was able to find on the market.

After working a year now with the version 8.3, I am really faszinated how many features iSpringsolutions has implemented in such a short time. Not the really fancy big things, but a number of really powerful small changes, that makes the work with the software more easy than before.

Its possible to use modules offline, even in moodle App as Scorm or with the iSpring App.

I would like to change the proportions from slide to slide.

I would like to have a direct interface to ReadSpeaker, they provide the best Text-To-Speech.

Compare the pricing to similar products

and compare the HTML5 quality.

You will come back to iSpring.

Let normal PowerPoint users create e-Learning modules in HTML5 invery short time.

Create surveys and send them via email to mobile users..

Make moodle courses transferable to other systems if necessary.

iSpring Suite 8.7 is definitively well suited for developing easily interactive and engaging learning content that you can view on any device (desktop, laptop and mobile device). The learners can take their courseS anywhere and at any time. iSpring Suite is a PowerPoint add-in, which means that you have access to all the iSpring features from an only one place: the iSpring Suite tab in the PowerPoint ribbon. You find all the tools you need: a presentation conversion tool into online mobile-ready courses, a screen recorder with an audio-video editor, a conversation simulation tool, a couple of interactions (directory, timeline, FAQ and book), a content library which has been introduced with the version 8.7… and the quiz maker!

I definitively like iSpring QuizMaker which is a fantastic tool for creating professional and interactive assessments with rich media and video. That’s fun designing engaging quizzes with feedbacks. You can mix the question types for increasing the learner engagement. The assessment feedback is a key point for the learner experience. The eLearning course assessment allows to measure the efficiency of a course and the learner progress. The assessment should be both helpful and instructive. iSpring QuizMaker offers everything you need for reaching your assessment goals. It’s so easy to record and/or add audio, images, hyperlinks in the feedback… and you can set the text (font, size…). You can configure the scoring as you want. That’s really flexible.

If you ask me what I dislike, I won't be able to answer this question... Why???? ...because I really like all the iSpring Suite features... and as an active iSpring Suite user, I always have ideas of new features. Features that I submit to the iSpring support. The features requests submitted by the users allow to improve iSpring Suite with new amazing features.

iSpring Suite allows us to develop engaging eLearning modules in a fraction of time and to create amazing assessments and quizzes with audio, video... and feedbacks.

We also train iSpring Suite users and help them to develop their first eLearning modules.

What I like best is that it is easy to use overall. With no prior experience with an LMS system, you can get your system up and running in a couple weeks. iSpring Suite has the BEST good customer support team that is there to help you every step of the way! The platform is very easy to navigate for the user too!

I hope the authoring tool for iSpring has MAC compatibility one day, but there is nothing I truly dislike about iSpring.

Our training program has become much more organized by providing our learners with one centralized location for all training materials, and the ability to continually reinforce their learning whenever they wanted on whatever device they wanted. Our company has many locations so iSpring ensures that every location receives the same training and the same consistent messaging!

I think this program is as basic as adobe acrobat in the sense that it allows professionals to send out great looking and user friendly presentations and virtual trainings quite easily.

It took me a week to become fluent in this software, as it is simply a plug-in for Powerpoint.

It allows adding your own voice-overs and videos, which is great.

Costumer service is phenomenal, they always answer in about an hour and their feedback is really detailed and useful. I was personally helped by Anna and Pavel who were just great!

Very useful and well priced (Lifetime licenses! hope this wont change).

Downside: not compatible with Keynote, which is not great as Powerpoint is still in living in the 90's.

I solved this by exporting my Keynote presentations as Quicktime videos and simply pasting the videos on the slides.

I am able to share this program with staff around my organization so that they can share their trainings and reach all 6000 staff members, which has saved us so far 3 trans-atlantic flights.

Considering purchasing a few more licenses to share with regional offices.

iSpring is very easy to use and the support team has been brilliant so far.

I have no complaints, so far everything is working the way it should.

It's a great tool to easily convert PowerPoint slides into HTML content.

I have been using iSpring Converter Pro for the past months to convert PowerPoint slides into HTML content that can be easily embeded in a web page and to present a brochure in a more engaging way. Using iSpring allows me to create animated content without needing to learn how to code.

iSpring Suite is a great, easy-to-learn software but their support is even better. Even as a small customer, I have received quick and helpful answers to my questions, which has great value since iSpring Suite is my most important tool.

iSpring Suite support even implemented a feature (case sensitive answers) at my request. Can it get any better?

I would like more instructional videos. When you go beyond a basic user level, it can be hard to find tutorials.

iSpring Suite has helped me accommodate many linguistic levels and cultural backgrounds in my second language classes.

iSpring Suite allows my students to work independently at their own pace at their own level. This again frees up time for me to observe and tutor. My classes have become more efficient, and students benefit much more.

I love the low bar for entry for use with iSpring! Some products are much more robust but have such a high learning curve that it is a true barrier to entry. iSpring is very intuitive and you can get up and started very quickly and make great quality eLearning.

I would like to have the option to generate certificates of completion for the courses. I have been asked about that quite a bit for the clinical training that I create by my students. Only major complaint.

Good software, go through as many video tutorials as possible and attend the webinars offered. They are very helpful.

Not only have I been able to produce and push out eLearning but I have used iSpring Suite to build out a great workflow to automate and replace a paper Respiratory Questionnaire used for their annual respirator fit testing. Took a bit to put together but will save them TONS of effort and time going forward.
