Enables you to create many complex E-learnings
The older or classic version of Adobe Captivate needs much improvement because everything looks very old. It needs to improve how it works. Also, new features are missing too. The latest version is very good and unique in terms of work, but the level of complexity you can achieve it limited.
AbdulJaleel - PeerSpot reviewer

Continuous lab access has strengthened my hands-on skills and supported ongoing certifications
As an individual accessing the portal, it is a little expensive. When I did not have partner access and was subscribing to Red Hat Learning Subscription, I felt it was costly. Red Hat Learning Subscription is offered for 90 days. If purchasing the subscription, they should give more time instead because some courses are very lengthy. People may need more time since they are spending time outside of their working time, so the duration needs to be increased. There is a latency issue with Red Hat Learning Subscription sometimes. I cannot say if it depends on my internet or their internet. The only concerns I see about Red Hat Learning Subscription are the price being a little expensive and stability issues, as there is sometimes latency.
