"Expensive but can get results. Articulate is better."

**Overall:** Decent, but expensive tool to use for creation of e-learning. Not as good as Articulate and feels rather dated.

**Pros:** Easy to produce very simple e-learning once you overcome the initial learning curve. Good for rework.

**Cons:** The initial learning curve is extremely steep, even with experience of video editing and other tools.

"Could have been so much better"

**Overall:** I keep returning to Adobe Captivate in the hope that there have been improvements made, but sadly it always disappoints. The workflow is very cumbersome and I don't feel confident in suggesting it as an authoring tool when scoping with clients, as the time required to create anything useful would make the costs prohibitive.

**Pros:** I found that the features in Captivate that allow the creation of interactive videos were useful.

**Cons:** Pop up content is standard in eLearning courses, but Adobe have continued to ignore this basic requirement, making it a very long-winded and difficult task to add pop up/reveal content.
