| Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | I use Adobe Captivate for interactive e-learning, saving 15-20% time and cost. Its robust features are excellent, but it can be complex for beginners and slow on large projects. Support is great, though I'm unsure about accessibility. |
| Freelance Corporate Trainer at Freelancer | 4.0 | I use Adobe Captivate for e-learning projects, valuing its intuitive 2023 version with responsive design. However, the classic version needs improvement. While there's a return on investment, market demand is declining. I prefer Captivate over Storyline for cross-platform compatibility. |
| Learning Solutions Developer II at a legal firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I use Adobe Captivate for e-learning, valuing its templates and recording. My main issue is the automated text-to-speech, needing more natural voices. While a good tool, I prefer Storyline for flexibility, though Captivate works for corporate training. |
| Manager, Virtual Training at Realogy Holdings Corp. | 4.5 | This solution helps me create cool, responsive training modules and videos in-house, saving significant costs. However, I find it too complex for novices and would appreciate a simpler, "For Dummies" option for easier use. |
| Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager at SnapLogic | 3.0 | I found Adobe Captivate 5.5 works well for technical videos after an initial struggle with its interface and slow-to-reach support. Support eventually helped me, and I recommend a specific video production workflow. |
