They are falling behind their competitors in this area.

Rise is a great tool for rapid learning design. Love the extended capabilities of Storyline.

The best thing about this sophisticated set of tools is the support that is available for learners and users.

The webinars that they do are outstanding in quality and I attend as many as I can.

Articulate 360 is the right tool for freelande developers. Good pricing model and awesome - the best ever - community.

Gone are the days of uploading a video recording or PowerPoint  for my corporate learners. They get a condensed, to-the-point training that is meaningful and FUN.

Customer support is excellent and the community that Articulate has created with E-Learning Heroes is a wonderful resource.

Great tool but lacks responsive capabilities what its competitor has.

Customer service is the worst around. They are notoriously bad.

I also don't like the Scenario function where you are stuck to using cheesy character photos when you have ones you want to upload and use.

Simplicity for the design and creation of courses with the best interactive content to stand out with information management and better understanding. I also really like the level of live training.

I really cannot think of anything that I dislike about this software.

It's been a great tool for us as we migrate our training content from Flash based tools into something responsive and user friendly.

This is amazing software where you can build courses and add quizzes.

The features allow the course to be interactive and engages with users. Rise integrates with Storyline.

This is an easy to use design software that is flexible enough to do a lot of really amazing things if you are creative.

Perhaps my biggest pain point is in regards to logging in. Sometimes, I receive errors while logging on.

The inability to batch convert projects is a real bummer. You have to open each project file one by one and convert it.

As a business we have saved a considerable amount of money producing our own e-learning modules.

Integrates seamlessly to LMS. Great e-learning scripter.

A limited number of included resources. Images and characters etc.).

This software will make your life easier - and much more fun for your learners.

I have been following the eLearning Heroes blog (by the trainers for Articulate) for years, and am thrilled to finally have an opportunity to work with this software.

It is amazing and constantly improving. The e-learning heroes community is phenomenal when it comes to needing anything.

Rise 360 looks very clean and professional, easy to navigate and learners really like it.

Overall I have a very positive opinion - positive enough to overrule having to use it on a PC.

We created emulators and got an error, it was very difficult to fix.

When you adopt Articulate 360, you are joining a whole community of eLearning designers and developers with a wealth of experience. To me, having a community around a platform is invaluable.

It's great that it can create non linear paths so interactions get more complex. It also has great export options that allow good integration with out LMS.

This is a great option if your team does not have the budget to pay for software yearly. Same great product at a one-time price.

Software gets many updates and might be a pain for your IT staff to keep up with.

We like that we can create the Rise courses simply and quickly, but can provide more advanced interactivity with StoryLine if needed.

Articulate 360 allows for users to create beautiful, engaging, and useful e-learning with an incredible ease of use.

I use this software to create e-learning modules for my students. I like the ease of use and the simple way things work.

Lots of items for the subscription charge. Rise and Preview are great.

The number of tools integrated within the Blackboard so that multiple URLs and passwords need to be managed is a breath of fresh air.

With a large company comes great support and account management. Blackboard's team will be there to help train you and support you.

It's super easy to navigate and find all your resources on. It's well organized and I love it.

Good value for money, very convinient, multi task, contemporary, easy to use teaching tool.

I love the features of the built-in web based tools, gives access to multiple methods of communication, gives access for easy customisation of course pages.

Using blackboard makes me so frustrated I hate when I have to use it every day. I do not recommend this software to anyone.

Very easy to navigate for first time users. The interface is updated and clean to use, not like a 1990s system look.

This is a persistent problem that everyone in our school has verified.

If you have the support from your school's IT department, this software can be great. I've used it when working for different schools and used it as a student user.

Supports integration with many external tools.

Truly horrid, and now that most of our work is going to be online for awhile, teachers just can't afford to be hamstrung by this abysmal program any longer.

This is our LMS system and we are in general very happy with it.

I like that my school district can organize the design that they deem best for their community.

There is also a language barrier that makes troubleshooting more difficult than it should be.

I found blackboard a great complement to in-person learning. As a developing high school student I found it easy to navigate.

Blackboard Learn is a frustrating platform to use.

Blackboard has all the necessary tools to create a great and effective online learning environment. There are so many LTI tools you can integrate into Blackboard to be successful.

The software is very traditional. It has great capabilities for pulling information out across courses and makes evaluating courses easy.

I think Blackboard is better than Canvas, but maybe not better than Moodle. It has some flexibility but perhaps not as much as Moodle has.

But once our organization switched to canvas, I realized Blackboard has some catching up to do, in terms of ease of use and integration.

It seems pretty stable and certainly is more stable than Canvas.

Hard to use software that is also very expensive.

I liked how this software is very easy for students. Instructors can give assignments, show grades, and upload attachments.

I don't like how Blackboard constant go through changes and is often down or having technical issues that'll need to be passed onto customer service.

Interface is confused but have too much posibilites for take different way to make the class and evaluations.

Overall, Blackboard Learn is a pretty good experience. Students are able to access many things.

Great ability to integrate other platforms (ie. youtube). Easy for teacher to manage course content.

Because this is in a university setting our IT department has been responsible for customer support and software purchases. Overall my experience with Blackboard has been very positive.

It was great at the time but we ended up replacing it with a home-grown system that was very similar. I wonder if it was pricey or the customizable options weren't what the university needed.

Avoid this program at all costs. Use literally anything else.

Blackboard is easy to use,exams are easy to deploy,announcements are very good and even the bullet-in board is a very handy feature.

As a TA, i have to use blackboard to build exams and quizzes for my students and i absolutely hate it. It is the least intuitive process and is a major pain in the butt.

I was easily able to access my grades, assignments, schedules and navigate with ease. Blackboard tech support was very responsive to any issues.

It is also difficult to navigate the grade center.

It has a bad UI and does not integrate well with other software solutions.

I don't know how it's priced, but I'm sure it can't be worth whatever the administrators are saving.

Blackboard is wonderful for students, it is very easy to use and they constantly do updates that help improve the system.

We ran our own host and it had nothing but problems, and I am not talking hardware. Every time we went to run an update, it broke something.

At times can be difficult to navigate around. There are a ton of things you can click on, can be easy to get lost at times.
