[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/activepresenter-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/activepresenter-profile/alternatives/) # ActivePresenter User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 67 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.6/5 - Customer support: 4.7/5 - Value for money: 4.6/5 - Functionality: 4.6/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 47 reviews (70%) - 4 stars: 18 reviews (27%) - 3 stars: 2 reviews (3%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - ActivePresenter leaves control to the developer and allows for a great deal of flexibility to realize your projects. - One of the biggest advantages of ActivePresenter is that you can record only the selected area of your screen, or to record just one specific window on your machine. - It has an extense list of options and a clean interface (with a lot of buttons), have a lot of formats, a lot of possibilities of customize your record, your video... ### Most mentioned cons - Some of options doesn't seems to be optimized, as when you export your record, it takes too long for finish it. And i think could be better to minimize that too much options in a main interface. - Sometimes, if my device has a lot of programs open, taking a lot of RAM space, it freezes and stops working. - The thing I disliked is as soon as I start recording the screen the cursor sometimes gets disappeared which creates a problem for me and then I need to record it again. ## ActivePresenter customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 67 (page 1). ### Lovely Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Martina L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Active Presenter is easy to use, and has a lot of useful fuctions.

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.

I had a few different issues that were both handled well by ActivePresenter. I needed to record some brief training tutorials for some of our new employees. I was able to do so artfully, easyly, crop and zoom, as I needed and it worked great for this. I had used other recorders in the past, but this worked better than I expected.

I use Active Presenter since one of the earliest version if I remember well about 8 years or more ago. I liked the screen record feature you can use with simplicity. I created two interactive games for children in preschooler age about basic English and colours, it was very easy to find how to manage the interactivity and also the support was very fast in giving me a solution when I had to create an interactive bookshelf to sell a market products using custom pictures and Paypal method and buttons. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I liked the extensive features you can use and the simplicity of the UI.

I am creating video tutorials for the software that we provide to our customers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - Screen Recording - Easy Video Editing - Can add narration "Text - to - Speach" with true voices! - Can add music background in the whole video, no mater how many slides - Can make software simulations - Can make quizes and get the results - Ideal for Video Tutorials and creation of pre-recorderd courses. #### Cons Not really many things to mention. Maybe the only drawback is that you have free updates for the major version you buy. But honestly... I wouldn't say that this is strange! You buy a software and you can use it for as long as you want... and the company gives you free updates for many years... but only for the version you bought. Fair I guess... #### Reasons for switching to ActivePresenter There is no comparison between ActivePresenter and this piece of scrap called MS PowerPoint. :) MS PP is a baby compared to ActivePresenter! #### Vendor response Hi Vasileios, Sorry for our late reply and thank you so much for your review. We're happy that ActivePresenter has become your first choice to create videos and record your screen.

Great product and fabulous customer service! #### Cons I would like more Animations to choose from to add even more pizzazz, but it has the standard animations that PowerPoint has. #### Reasons for switching to ActivePresenter Active Presenter is easier to learn and use, plus with constrained budgets, it's much cheaper than the competition.
