Adobe Learning Manager Reviews & Product Details

If u want to reskill the employees then you can use this tool from adobe which can serve as a good tool for engaging in different learnings

Integration with other softwares can be challenging. License of software is higher side.

An organization can use this tool for all learning and enablement and improving skills of the employee.

So far, I've only transferred PowerPoint presentations, and the last lesson I did for my website was similar to the PowerPoint presentations I had previously exported into Captivate. I like the fact that I can transfer my presentations. After transferring them, I've added a verbal recording on each of the slides, which I also enjoy. I REALLY like the fact that I can have Knowledge Questions mixed into the presentation to help solidify what I'm teaching. From looking through the user guide, I know there's more to Captivate than what I'm using, but I don't know how to use the other features. Which leads me to what I don't like (the next question).

The tutorials that exist are lacking (to say the least). And there are only a few tutorials for all of the benefits that Captivate offers. It's very disappointing. The current 'best-practice' I've found is to watch the tutorial or read the user manual, and then do your best to figure out what needs to happen. When I purchased Captivate, I wanted to use it to make the presentations for my music site. My site provides lessons to people who want to learn about music, reading music, and playing the piano. So, I finished my first presentation by exporting the PowerPoint presentation I had created, and then I had no clue how to get it on my site. Although I realize this isn't what Adobe offers, but I had to do a bunch of research to figure out how to get Captivate into my Word Press site. Even though this isn't a part of Adobe Captivate, why can't you send your customers to where they can begin to learn what to do? And from there, they can put everything together. To have no 'hand-off' to the next step to put this on a website is pretty tacky. Also, not all of the Quiz question choices work (or at least I can't get them to work). I have problems with the fill-in-the-blank questions and short answer questions. There are cumbersome aspects to the quiz page that I struggle with - resizing the entry areas, in particular, is very frustrating.

I'm able to create a nice tutorial for my site, and I really enjoy being able to use the Quiz function throughout my tutorials. I really like the matching quizzes, and they've worked very well. It's a great benefit that I can create the 'jump-back' page to where the student needs to go to for that particular learning activity when they incorrectly answer the question. That's a problem that has been solved by Captivate. I can even have the answers graded, which is also a great benefit.

being able to easily assign users(learners) to training modules.

The report feature comes up short to meet our requirements. Being able to manage knowledge checks, quickly see what a learner missed and what they selected compared to the correct response is key to meet our reporting requirements and takes a lot of manual manipulation to get there.

Managing training across various regions around the globe

The app is great at creating, sharing and presenting information

Lack of integration with my Adobe CC membership

Fast and great impact presentations

The UI is clean and easy to navigate for end users, learners.

As an admin I dislike that I cannot "impersonate" a user like with any other LMS I've experienced. Also on the integration admin end the process is bulky and cumbersome with poor error messaging. There are a good amount of features that in theory would be very useful but don't seem to have been thoroughly developed in practice, such as Import Logs only showing the user csv import, not custom role import. There is no way to see a queue of reports running or if a report will be exceptionally large, to cancel it. Also that running one large report stops others from running, I feel that for such a large company that Adobe could devote more server space to run more that one request at a time when dealing with an account of 100,000+ users. Another piece that needs more development is the ability to filter - on pretty much anything. Inside of courses or programs there is no way to filter by name, completion status, etc. Same feedback on any course that has submissions enabled. In theory it's great that you can have users submit, but not having a way to filter or sort those submissions leaves them out of alphabetical order and mixes approved and awaiting approvals. There can be (and are in some of our courses) thousands of users in that list which makes the management from the instructor side frustrating. Reporting on the admin side could be better, also more options than just dashboard bar graphs, perhaps a traditional report writer format would be more useful. Also, there should be access to a dashboard like the manager dashboard for admins, and the ability to share reports to people other than managers from the dashboard. It LOOKS like you can, but then it doesn't work. Also the email template audiences should be customizable. For example, the "learner clears waitlist" template sends to admin, manager, and learner. We do not want that. We only want it to go to the learner as it creates and incredible amount of unnecessary "noise" when being sent to 200+ managers for a class they know is mandatory for their employees. This has forced us to turn off the notification which means that the learner only sees the info if they log back into captivate prime. Not ideal.

Much better versioning than our previous LMS, able to solve for instructor led trainings, and is shedding light on other processes that need to be shored up to provide correct data to Adobe

I like creating the interactive portions of the software

I like creating the interactive portions of the software

I can create interactive power points that my students can use without my assistance

Adobe Captivate Prime offers a wide range of invaluable features that can streamline the training process for larger companies. Freedom of organization: Captivate allows you to manage large training modules and you can assemble the structure according to what you think is most appropriate for that training. Intuitive interface: The look is clean, pleasant and intuitive. It is not tiring for whoever manages the modules, nor for the users that carry out the training. Also, the price is very competitive, considering Adobe does not charge customers any hidden costs such as installation, setup and maintenance. Finally, Adobe Captivate Prime offers a free 30-day trial that gives you the opportunity to try before you buy.

There needs to be more video tutorials for beginners. The navigation and stability on the mobile learning apps need to be made better.

Adobe Captivate Prime LMS has a responsive design that help me to view the same online course across various devices seamlessly. Its HTML5 output gives mobile compatibility to the course you created. Adobe has added number of features to develop responsive eLearning and to convert legacy courses to responsive so that they work across multiple devices. You get fully responsive themes with eye-catchy backgrounds, fonts and layouts. Also, you will find responsive sliders, responsive motion effects, responsive interactions, and responsive text support in the latest version.

I like the level of functionality present in the platform

Pretty steep learning curve. But there were a sufficient amount of reserouces to help.

Employee Training

The system is easy to use and provides a good starting point for creating learning content. The system works well in integrating into other Adobe products which we already use.

The price. It’s a little out of our price range.

There isn’t really any tool that does everything we need in terms of authoring contend. You can put together assets in photoshop and put them into PowerPoint then share in Moodle but in captivate it’s a much smoother workflow.

I like that the installation and setup are easy

The software can be pretty complicated to use and took me a very long time to figure out how to achieve my desired result. I ended up just using different software.

None anymore.

I liked the ability to auto assign courses to reps using Learning Plans. The availability of skills was also good for gamification within LMS.

The skills editor and assigning was very difficult to understand. Most of the creator had hard time understanding how to best design skills. Course creator didn't have much rich text editing capabilities like Articulate Rise 360 or medium or other rich text editors.

Onboarding sales reps to company's disciplines.

I love that I can customize tests to randomize questions and the answers. Visually great and gamification is wonderful. Being able to upload the courses from the desktop app, directly to the website is so convenient. Updating certifications and other documents in the content library is ridiculously easy too.

Taxing on the computer. Whenever I change the timing on a slide, it freezes for 4-7 seconds. I tried changing the timing on several slides at once and immediately regretted it. There is no explanation for certain things that happen too. Like you can't change the timing on particular types of slides, but it doesn't tell you that. It just reverts it back to 3 seconds. Exporting answers to a test is formatted horizontally. Makes it difficult to use. Should be vertical.

My company used a more primitive LMS service prior to this. We are now able to track and create engaging tests and certifications. Definitely better learning retention from test takers. Employees are passing tests in just 2 attempts, rather than the previous 4-5 attempts.

The ease of working with it, the points systems makes it easy to plan and target specific area

the administration of the app is tedious

communication and internal training at the organization has been streamlined with this app

- quite easy and straightforward to use - simple platform for learners

- rigid template and look - lack of customization - limited company branding possibilities - unable to download your own uploaded content

I've been using Adobe LMS to deliver internal software training and best practices to staff and partner clients

Attractive and intuitive platform. The all-in-one player dubbed the “Fluidic Player” makes adding content from popular providers simple with all require plugin preinstalled(PDF, PPT, and DOCX files, and xAPI-, SCORM-, and AICC-compliant packages). Basic gamification with the ability to customize pages and complete for course completion points with co-worker is helpful feature to promote friendly competitiveness in the office.

nteractive content for Q & A, quizzes that would allow companies to check for user competency are not built into the product. Interaction from 3rd party products are available, but this is an added step and cost. Data gathered on users is limited to completion of courses and time spent on courses. This data doesn’t provide companies with knowledge of user proficiency.

Professional experience, easy setup

I find that captivate prime has most of the current market standard features plus more. From features such as setting learning paths for students to others such as reporting, gamification and user tracking etc. I found the set up easy enough, even as a new admin user and was able to load content within a few minutes. I was especially impressed with the simple interface that reduced the platform learning curve for me and the course set up/deployment time. I think the option to breakdown a course content upload to three sections (core modules, prework modules, and testout) is a great feature. Although a little more work, this would improve tracking and provide more detailed usage data/student interaction with the modules. I also liked that it has gamification elements available for use for individual or group learning. On the pricing module, I like the flexibility to add and remove users on a monthly basis, which is ideal for selling subscription-based courses.

I would like to see a pricing module targeted at educational institutions as there currently doesn’t seem to be one. It is unfortunate that it seems only targeted at corporate institutions at this point.

Providing corporate and educational institutional e-learning needs requires a robost, responsive and modern platform that is easy to use (by admins and users), responsive for multi-device deployment, provides accurate usage tracking data for content review among others. Adobe Captivate helps meet all these for my training needs

Excellent Multi Tenanting configuration for a business GROUP. Branding a good idea. Love the email templates and automation within the system. Programme and Learning Plans with certification levels Gamification and badges. Commercially viable product and secure. Love the booking Virtual class sessions and face to face Lessons with Very good Tracking and accountability built in. As a registered Adobe user, quality is very high I recommend the integration of Adobe assets with this LMS.

Found the course more suitable to commercial application. It is important to have all your assets ready to start building the course and it would take some planning beforehand. This is not an LMS for lighthearted course development, and I do see this LMS as best suited to an ultra security conscious commercial environment that protects its assets like fort knox! For this reason alone, as a business, I would buy it.

It is a great product as part of a Programme of On-boarding; CPD; and Certified achievements for specific progression in roles at work and also on an Apprenticeship Scheme to manage; track; and record lessons learnt and use it as a tool to book sessions that are recorded for due diligence

it is very user friendly, there are lots of ways to use the system.

the process to create new presentations is timely.

none

I'm a e-learning developer, so I have seen a multitude of LMS interfaces. Captivate Prime is new to the game, and has brought a slick UI that is not seen on other "out-of-the-box" solutions.

Would like to see an "embeddable" player for content

We didn't have any way to track and assign our training. We have now found a solution in Adobe Captivate Prime. Our learners now have a UI that is familiar and they can work to earn badges and complete training.

Easy admin and navigation. Excellent support and tutorials

Would like more customization of the interface. Great block images at the catalog level but boring list views at deeper levels.

Content management and sharing. Deployment of blended learning. IP protection balanced with learner access. Current user interface.
