Replied March 2024 --- ### Excellent eLearning Authoring Tool with World-Class Customer Support - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Scott S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our team has used ActivePresenter to develop and publish more than 30 eLearning modules with assessments for the past 5+ years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The application has an intuitive slide-based workflow, a robust set of eLearning development tools, multi-modal publishing (demo, tutorial, practice, and test modes) and one-click publishing to HTML5 and/or SCORM formats for ready deployment via LMS (we use it with MOODLE). The few times I have needed support, the team was very responsive and extremely helpful and even on a few occasions created scripts to make the software do what we needed it to do (which were somewhat non-standard use-cases). I have used many eLearning development and deployment platforms (including the 2 heaviest hitters in the industry), but ActivePresenter is hands-down the best value for the money and is most accessible for new team members to ramp up in learning development. #### Cons No cons after 5+ years of use creating and publishing dozens of interactive learning resources. #### Vendor response We're so proud and happy to read you review, Scott. Thank you for having been one of our long-term users and I hope you will continue supporting our product as well as unleashing your creativity with more amazing works. Do not hesitate to contact us via our Community or email at support@atomisystems.com should you encounter any issues.
