A powerful and easy-to-use repository that does automatic updates
Articulate 360 got me out from different offering tools that did not offer the same capabilities or usability that Articulate 360 offers. It's really hard to explain it without diving into other tools and just telling how awful they were. Articulate 360 was a revelation for everyone in my field. The solution was very powerful and easy, and I can do so many different things. It just kept going and going, and it snowballed into this thing where it's now the industry standard, and that's really helpful.

Clear instructions and effective learning with room for market reach and language expansion
Regarding areas of Skillsoft that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future, the platform is already very good and nice. If Skillsoft is launching its platform worldwide, they should be language specific. While I can understand English, if someone does not understand it, they should have tutors for their regions as well, so they can develop more certification programs in languages understood by the majority of people. I rate it a seven because they are missing two points: they do not have much market reach, and it should be more convenient in local languages of nations as they are approaching the worldwide area. Similar to how Netflix has multiple channel swapping options, if Skillsoft is training worldwide, they need to have the option for language selection.

Pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is trackability with an interactive element."
"The most valuable features are the speed of development and professionalism of the output that comes from the system. It is also easy to translate to LMS or LXP systems. The storyline tool is also good for more advanced projects. The product has an integrated review valuable tool for getting quick feedback collected in one place while training is being developed."
"It's really nice that Articulate 360 keeps everything up to date and does automatic updates, which I don't have to schedule."
"The course has given me tools and key points which help me stay focused during boring tasks, from daily job deadlines, I have to complete work in the given time framework, take small breaks between jobs, and reward and motivate myself with whatever I enjoy most so that I can complete tasks by the deadline."
"Customer Service: Their level of customer service was very good. Whenever we encountered issues they were very prompt and professional in their response."
"The course has given me tools and key points which help me stay focused during boring tasks, from daily job deadlines, I have to complete work in the given time framework, take small breaks between jobs, and reward and motivate myself with whatever I enjoy most so that I can complete tasks by the deadline."

Cons

"Articulate 360 could have a better video editor and make their audio editor a little more robust."
"There could be more tutorials available on the platform for new users."
"Articulate 360 is slow to implement future enhancement requests. We would also like to see more flexibility in the layout of the courses."
"It is providing numerous content library courses. However, it is not giving us hands-on experience training where we are getting practical related material, instead of theory related material."
"Sometimes the system logs out in the middle of classes without any reason and asks me to log in again."
"The quality of the courses could be better."
"I prefer Coursera more than Skillsoft because Coursera has a specific market approach that is better than Skillsoft."
"Skillsoft is already good, but I would appreciate more visual content."
"It would have been nice to have some more up to date content."
