A solution with great customization and visually appealing features
I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Storyline has so much flexibility, and you can do so much fun with it. It's top-rated. You can do basic things and get carried away with Storyline. However, if you're looking to convert a PowerPoint presentation into something that looks nice or has an embedded video where the speaker would be, iSpring Learn is a good solution. It's a great program, and we use many features. For example, we use Camtasia for video and screen recordings. If we want to create a game or start something from scratch and customize it for the user with graphics and places with many engagement features, we can use either Articulate or Storyline. Everything is contained in one window, and it's visually appealing. We can scroll down, and it's almost like a webpage where we get all the information. iSpring Learn is made so that we can create visually appealing and engaging content with just a PowerPoint presentation. Sometimes we have people who give us a PowerPoint and say, "Can you do something with this? Can you make it pretty?" Or they'll provide us with audio and say, "I recorded these slides for PowerPoint. Can we jazz it up? Can we do something?" So we put the picture or their bio with their contact information. If they have any attachments, we'll add resources to them. Then we convert the PowerPoint and add the audio, which looks great. iSpring Learn is easy to work with.

Content facilitates understanding of complex roles and tasks in an organization
The comprehensiveness of Skillsoft's content library in supporting various learning objectives is self-explanatory, requiring minimal effort to understand. Skillsoft has supported a culture of continuous learning within my organization by helping me continuously learn new skills. While I can only speak for myself regarding other colleagues' experiences, I would need to inquire about their usage. The main benefits I have seen from using Skillsoft are that it helped me understand the workflow and its application within the company. What I learned enabled me to ask clearer questions to my Product Owner. I was able to understand when tickets needed refinement and identify missing information needed to solve tickets. This helped me act in a Product Owner capacity and assisted me in achieving my work in a meaningful way daily.
