[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/lectora-online-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/lectora-online-profile/alternatives/) # Lectora User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.4/5 - Total reviews: 63 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.0/5 - Customer support: 4.1/5 - Value for money: 4.2/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 37 reviews (59%) - 4 stars: 19 reviews (30%) - 3 stars: 4 reviews (6%) - 2 stars: 2 reviews (3%) - 1 star: 1 reviews (2%) ### Most mentioned pros - Lectora can be robust with complex, nested interactivity and can tackle a large product. - It is highly customizable and provides professional results. - Probably best thing ELB has done when they purchased it. ### Most mentioned cons - This makes updating legacy content more challenging than expected. - The QuickLaunch Toolbar on the new interface can be a bit difficult to see what is what as it is very dark and blends in. - There is no way to select multiple objects or save searches. ## Lectora customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 63 (page 1). ### Easiest Tool to Meet Current and Future eLearning (Accessible & Responsive) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chrisanna P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The biggest pro to Lectora is the committment to accessiblity. Lectora makes meeting DHS Trusted Tester requirements easy! I also love that you can truly develop responsive courses rather than just a player being responsive and shrinking things down as that isn't accesssible. #### Cons The QuickLaunch Toolbar on the new interface can be a bit difficult to see what is what as it is very dark and blends in. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora My focus is on accessiblity and responsiveness and these items are just so much easier in Lectora than 360 or Captivate. I can technically "pass" using the other tools, but it isn't a pleasant experience for someone using a screenreader. --- ### Power to Unleash Your Potential - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Domenic C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The Lectora support team and community is very helpful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The interface is super easy to use and provides quick access to advanced features. I usually work from a blank page or corporate template where I have complete control of design and programming. Adding actions to objects is very helpful. The properties ribbon gives me quick access to all the information I need. There is often many ways to do something and I can easily experiment to find the best method. Adding exams, surveys, knowledge checks, progress bars, custom menus, variables, HTML windows, and JavaScript, are all easy to do. If you want to create adaptive courses to personalize learning, Lectora is by far the easiest program to use. #### Cons With power comes a few caveats. Occasionally a deleted action does not get deleted. The solution is to rebuild the action using a different name. Moving an object using xy coordinates is easy, but there is no easy way of detecting those coordinates. Having that feature would make designing games much easier. The recent addition of Elearning Brothers assets is great. I just wish the search feature worked better. After each search you have to start from the beginning. There is no way to select multiple objects or save searches. #### Reasons for switching to Lectora Lectora gives me more control of the end product. #### Vendor response Thank you for underscoring the flexibility of Lectora to build content in multiple ways and the extensibility to incorporate other web technologies. Your points are fantastic! We also forwarded your feedback to our product team. We greatly value long-time users like you and want you to know we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement. Replied November 2020 --- ### If you're willing to be frustrated, Lectora is the right app for you. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Cat r. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used Lectora between Flash-era e-learning and mobile-first e-learning. I am thankful for the knowledge it provided about variables as I move forward into other programs. It's like the C++ of the coding world—wouldn't want to use it but thankful for its foundation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Lectora can be robust with complex, nested interactivity and can tackle a large product. It is highly customizable and provides professional results. #### Cons What I like least about Lectora is that it can sometimes be buggy, which interrupts workflow and slows projects down. The learning curve can also feel steep, especially with the more advanced features, making it a bit overwhelming at times. In addition, while the responsive design tools are helpful, it isn’t very easy to retrofit older, page-size–specific courses into a truly mobile-friendly format. This makes updating legacy content more challenging than expected. --- ### Lectora Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Heidi S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have used Lectora for over 10 years and find it to be the most stable authoring software, and the most flexible if we need to add additional programming outside of what is available within Lectora. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the most powerful and flexible authoring software, although there is a learning curve. It is great for those that are responsible for developing eLearning. #### Cons Support has not been as responsive as they used to be. However, now that ELB is in charge, I'm sure that will change for the better. When new updates are released, there can be problems when updating older courses because the new programming does not always match to previous programming. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora We use both Lectora and Storyline, but my personal preference is Lectora. #### Vendor response Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for highlighting one of Lectora's greatest strengths, the flexibility to meet any learning need. Customer support is also very important to us. In addition to making continuous improvements to Lectora, we are committed to providing an exceptional customer experience, and look forward to demonstrating that commitment first hand. Replied November 2020 --- ### Lectora, a decent middling software package. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mark D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Decent for what it is. Limited and you can tell there hasn't been a ton of development into it over the years. Probably best thing ELB has done when they purchased it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's robust feature set and ease of use. Costs. Integrated well with other products. #### Cons Only about 3/4 of features of biggest players - Captivate and 360. --- ### Lectora is quite simply the best authoring tool in the world. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - 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 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its ability to produce content simply and rapidly, whilst also having extraordinary flexibility and capability. #### Cons Its not free, but seriously no authroing tool can be all things, so Lectora has very few limitations (I cannot think of any) but if all you want is a page of text with image and few simple clicks, then go and get something for free - or build something in google slides. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora Flexibility and reliability #### Reasons for switching to Lectora better functionality #### Vendor response Thank you for the review! We truly appreciate your comments and value your loyalty. Replied November 2020 --- ### Lectora Inspire comes with a lot of great add-ins that make creating a course quick and easy. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The great add-ins from buying the software: BranchTrack, eLearning Brothers, Camtasia, Snagit, and Reviewlink. They also seem to be the best software for 508 compliance. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Probably the add-ins that come along with your purchase of Lectora. This includes eLearning Brothers that has templates, cut out people, and stock images that you can easily add to your course. They also have BranchTrack where you can create scenarios quickly. Camtasia is great for all your audio needs. Cutting and editing video has never been so easy. Reviewlink is a great way to show your end product to your stakeholders. They can offer feedback per slide and you can easily remediate. #### Cons My representative doesn't always get back to me in a timely manner. There seems to be a lot of back-and-forth when it comes to emailing customer support. Knowing that every slide inherits properties, images, etc. from the parent slide can be a pain because you have to tell the software what NOT to inherit. --- ### Lectora is an ideal program to carry out training programs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Individual & Family Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - 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: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Lectora is a software with multiple functions, has a range of integrated tools that allow the user to freely develop their ideas in addition to a system of guides that guide the use of these tools and solutions to possible problems that may arise. It is useful when you want to perform exemplifications that help in the learning of third parties through interactive videos. If you can visualize it, you can also create it, in an easy and practical way. #### Cons Start using the program can be a bit complicated at first, but with patience and with the use of the guides you can know all the functions. In addition you must be careful with the updates, installing the new immediately is not always good --- ### Lectora Inspire - Lacks Functionality of CaptivateCan - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. For the authoring software that has probably been around longer than any of the current products, Lectora has hung in there in the market and held its own. Honestly there are other applications that edge out Lectora, but if you have Lectora or easy access to it, it is worth using. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros User friendly screens, easy to embed multimedia, good documentation #### Cons Doesn't work on a MAC platform. Can't create mobile launched learning. --- ### Powerpoint on Steriods - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Gets the job done in terms of e-learnings. May need to run through some hoops to resolve rendering issues, but overall effective product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Overall it does provide a library of items to choose from and implement into your e-learning design. #### Cons When rendering the file it isn't always compatible in various browsers, e.g. internet explorer. And various functionality may behave differently in Mozilla vs chrome --- ### Lectora Inspire has been great over the years, building MANY e-learning modules, now web utilities. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Thomas V. - Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I can usually find a way to create any feature the customer wants in a course. I was also able to perform basic "programming" of several utilities that I can launch and distribute via the web. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The capabilities of Lectora has ever increased, staying one or two steps ahead of the competition in the elearning development space. It is the most capable of all of the authoring software tools I have evaluated. #### Cons I would like for lectora to migrate towards enabling the development of utilities a little more. The logic built into Lectora gets very close to enabling the creation of tools (web tools) but falls short when it comes to data / information management and integration, especially when it comes to integration with databases or even spreadsheets. I believe you could align to the new information analytics industry by building in more date management integration features (perhaps in an separate add-on module?). --- ### Once a king - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Clemens A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's mighty, but if you're not in dire need of all of the capabilities, you're likely to go for another option with fully responsive design and a nicer UI. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros For medium sized companies with an internal educations department, Lectora Online is a well dimensioned tool to create contents. They are kind of responsive and the interaction-possibilities are quite impressive. #### Cons Lectora Online is a very text-heavy tool with an UI straight from the depths of 1990-hell. The amount of functionalities, while being a major advantage, is extremely hard to navigate and there are other tools with an equal amount of possibilities, at a comparable price, with a nicer look and feel. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora More Add-Ons available --- ### Our overall experience with Lectora Online is that it is functional and gets the job done. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Angie l. - Industry: E-Learning - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2017 - 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: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The two main features we like about Lectora Online is the ability for our team to work collaboratively together on a single title. We also like the ability to be more flexible with the structure of the titles down to the detail of where to place different buttons. However, this also can cause challenges due to the specificity and making sure everything is consistent from page to page. #### Cons What I like least about the software is that the "look and feel" does not always seem modern. With the flexibility also comes the increased ability to make mistakes. The responsive design also forces you to adjust things in five views which is really time-consuming for an instructional designer to do. --- ### One of the easiest to master eLearning development packages out there. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dragomir I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It is great for RCD (rapid content development) and for combining various digital media. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Straight forward and easy to use. Not much hidden under the hood like other competing products. The output is highly customizable and flexible. Developers can add own code with ease. #### Cons It would be nice to have some visually more appealing elements, like page layouts, button sets. I would like to see more user control over text boxes. --- ### Been using Lectora since 1999 and it keeps getting better and better - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeffry G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This software has solved so many problems for us. We can develop learning content from it and we can teach it to future developers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease of use and the power of this software is outstanding. I am going to use it now to simulate how to operate medical devices like the consoles of ultrasound devices. #### Cons At some point I would like subscripted variables but I can easily work around that. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora This product had the longevity and was regularly enhanced with new features. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review! It illustrates the perfect application of the product - bravo! Replied November 2020 --- ### I am a non tech person and have found Lectora easy to use. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brenda R. - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2017 - 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: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use. Our organization will go months without using the software and it is easy to pick it up and get reacquainted with it. #### Cons The biggest challenge I experience is incorporating videos into my on line courses. I master it and then do not use it for several months and struggle again. --- ### Recently created a 8 module program in Lectora Inspire - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Christine M. - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I was able to create a software program and sell it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The integration with eLearning Bros. is helpful. The ability to create responsive software is helpful. #### Cons often times I would go to open a module and it would say pieces were missing so I had to find them again in folders in order to proceed. This was annoying as it happened every time I opened the same module. There are still bugs in the system. --- ### Has done what I needed it to do. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Larry S. - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2017 - 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: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I need and use in my teaching responsibility the ability to interface with Blackboard. Also the ability to interface with Camtasia is good. #### Cons Most of the software that is revised often and used by as many people as Lectora has a textbook like book that is available from a publisher. The book I have seen that is supposed to describe the product minimally covers the features, but covers few benefits. --- ### Insanely Frustrating! - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Maggie C. - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This is not a rapid development tool as advertised. It is a great tool for true developers (those who code!). With custom coding, you can make your course do a number of amazing things. Without it, your course is just average and took you longer to develop than other tools. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros advanced coding features #### Cons UI, ease of use --- ### I have been using it for a while now, making tutorials is much easier. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ayesha Tabassum M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2018 - 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: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The fact that it has all these built in templates, animations and designs which can be used in videos to make them more interactive. #### Cons It takes some time to get used to, also i have to be careful whether to upgrade or not if a new version rolls out because of all the bug issues and slow customer service. --- ### Lectora has helped my department achieve its goals - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alex G. - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2017 - 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: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I can do anything I pretty much want, and Lectora has many helpful guides if I don't know how to do something. #### Cons There is not much I can say about what I dislike about the software. I wish some functionalities were more beginner friendly. --- ### Lectora Online used Globally - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dave O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really enjoy Lectora Online. I wish I could spend more of my time developing and organizing the tool for our global training teams because this tool has the capability to make a huge impact on leading a Global training organization like no other. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Having a tool that can allow teams globally to work on projects is invaluable. Auto back up of all projects is great. Adding the text to speech is a nice touch. Now having the ability to import PPT slides inside a title using a corporate template was a much appreciated addition. #### Cons Syncing audio with on screen animations (having a timeline similar to Articulate/Storyline) would be great. Having built in functionality to add the audio script to each slide to be able to be read. Having some built in games again (jeopardy, basketball, skiing down a slope, etc.) like the flash games that was in previous versions. The responsive design is a bit clunky at times and could use some improvement. I have had a couple internal teams say that tools like Articulate 360 handles responsive design better. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora The product was simple to use and had a great interface. The leadership and support teams have always been top notch as well. They listen to suggestions and fixes bugs in a timely manor. Sometime late next year I will be asked to start the process over and bring in more globally training leaders to help review and decide if this is still the best tool available for a global training organization for the future. #### Reasons for switching to Lectora I wanted a cloud based authoring tool - to eliminate the duplication of efforts , improve global collaboration, and put the tool in the hands of the SMEs but have a learning team to guide sound instructional design and lead with best practices. Global training organizations need a tool like Lectora Online! #### Vendor response Hi Dave, thank you so much for your review! I passed on your comments to Joe (chief architect) and rest assured, a timeline is coming! Replied November 2020 --- ### Lectora Inspire for Online Course Development - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tyson R. - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use Lectora Inspire to create all of our online training. There is a learning curve for the system but I found it very intuitive once I began creating content. I have used a few other authoring tools in my career and Lectora is my personal preference. The downfalls of the system are offset by the additional software that comes included in this package. While there are some changes I would love to see, my overall experience with Lectora is positive and I would recommend it over the other tools I have used. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - Makes great courses - Can output projects to a number of formats (scorm, AIC, etc). - Continuous updates - Software fits the needs of any experience level - Allows for total customization of courses - Responsive design feature allows you to optimize your course for different hardware (tablets, phones, and PC) without having to create three entirely different courses - The Lectora Inspire package also includes the a screen capture and image editing software called Snagit and the video recording/editing software Camtasia. These are great additions and I use Snagit many times throughout the day. - Reviewlink is another addition to the software package that allows courses to be easily shared among stakeholders and evaluators before the course is uploaded to our learning management system. #### Cons - Terrible customer support. The one time I've actually been able to get ahold of someone, they insisted that the problem was due to my computer. Thankfully, every time I encountered a problem, I was able to solve it using Google. - Many of the advanced features are inaccessible meaning they do not meet Section 508 requirements. - The training that they provide on the software is very overpriced. Hundreds of dollars just to have someone walk you through a manual page by page. - Compared to competitors, the price for the Inspire package is justified. However, it is still expensive in general than I believe it really should be. --- ### A great tool to create online courses - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlo T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. A powerful tool that lets you create any kind of elearning content, from highly interactive educational games and scenario-based learning courses to PowerPoint-like SCORM modules. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is a powerful development tool that allows easy integration of many technologies into online courses. You can add tons of features by connecting Lectora to PHP, JSP, Javascript, HTML and so on. It has on the other side the easy of use of a visual editing tool. Among the other features, the capability to preview and edti mobile applications both in portrait and landscape orientation for tablet and smartphones alike. #### Cons The learning curve of the more advanced features is somewhat steep for people not accustomed to software development. If no advanced features are required, even people without IT skills can create SCORM modules in a matter of a few hours with Lectora. #### Reasons for choosing Lectora Yes, we choose Lectora over Articulate because is more powerful and flexible. #### Vendor response Great review! Thank you for underscoring the flexibility of Lectora to build content in multiple ways, including the extensibility to incorporate other web technologies. We greatly value long-time users like you and want you to know we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement. Replied November 2020 --- ### Powerful tool for highly interactive productions. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tobias Ö. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We mainly do customized web based learning for a wide range of clients. The productions differ from low cost rapid productions to more expensive productions with fairly advanced interactions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Lectora is a powerful authoring tool when it comes to highly interactive productions. The part I like the most is the extensive capability of adding extarnal code such as JavaScript or any other web based functionality. #### Cons I miss the ability to use something else than absolute and fixed positioning. It would be nice to be able to control the positioning av object with relative and even static methods. Automated production methods could also be improved. Things like making color schemes that could be applied within the software, without using external css and the ability to adjust several objects through the whole title in the same time. #### Vendor response Thank you for underscoring one of Lectora's greatest strengths, the extensibility to add custom code and integrate with web applications. We value your suggestions and have forwarded your feedback to our product team. We encourage you add future ideas to the feedback section of ROCKSTAR Community where fellow users will be able to see and vote for features they would also like to see implemented.
