"Very slick and mature LMS, but not for newbies"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

Captivate Prime LMS is a very mature and well sourced LMS. It comes with the backing of Adobe which its Creative Cloud products are legendary. It's not that difficult to learn and has a wealth of features like offline access and learner tracking.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

This LMS is a little pricer than others, but then again, it's Adobe and you get top-notch support. It's also a bit inflexible in allowing customizing organizational structure and access rights. It can be done, but it's very limited.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

The interface is easy to use for medium to advanced LMS users and allows for fast and fluid. Its intuitive learner dashboard allows personalization with drag and drop widgets. It also lets learners know about their upcoming courses, recommends courses they need to finish within given deadlines, the skills they have learned, and additional courses they might be interested in. This is a great "Learner Based" LMS.

"Adobe Captivate Prime Works"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

The best part is the ability to create content within the LMS system and not have to create everything outside of the system.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

The limitations of reporting and administration to use the software with an organization that has multiple departments and team leads. The costs of the software is a bit higher than others that we have looked at and we can not afford to keep this software with the amount of users we have.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to disperse training in a more efficient way to users wherever they are working remotely. We have narrowed down the amount of on ground training due to our ability to train online.

I wish there was more gamification possible.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

"LMS - Making things EASY"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

The ability to easily track, review and administer tests to staff via LMS, cost effective. Intergrates well with Microsoft Office programs, retrained many staff members in a very short time. We also use this for monthly, quartlery and yearly mandatory trainings.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Some issues using the app from phones and non desktop sources, at times issues with reporting, showing complete to the user, and not complete to the admin/manager for a short period of time. In the begninig, very hard to navigate...once you get the hang of it is a lot easier to manage

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring our staff are trained and retain the training on a repetitive basis, ensuring we track training. Cost effective to allow staff to learn on their own time or while working on company approved devices. Saves time and money to train staff

"Ushering the era of creativity"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

Adobe Captivate acts as an extension of heart and mind of a teacher. It has the ability to unearth the hidden layers of under or unutilized potential of a skill provider and invigorate and enthrall a learner. Be it screencasts or simulation of an application, Virtual reality walkthroughs or mobile ready courses, quizzes or plug and play interactions Adobe Captivate provides multichannel pathways to deliver content to a wide variety of audience.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Need more use cases to demonstrate where Adobe Captivate can be put to test. The support content in terms of tutorials and help files needs to be enriched. It does not run efficiently even in high end machines. Lags are often visible using the differnt functionality of the LMS.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

After teaching in a public university in India for about two decades in the field of computer science and engineering, I am increasingly supplementing the chalk and board teaching with interactive quizzes during the class itself in order to reinforce the concepts. Screencasts are most suitable in order to provide hands on training and enabling students to practise during off hours.

"Great tool with innovative features!"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

Adobe Captivate Prime offers many features that help with Employee Training on our team. The tool helps to organize and manage training as well as track certificates for the employee portfolio process at our company.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

There are so many features that I do not know how to use still. Some features are not user-friendly or intuitive. I need to spend more time playing around with the other aspects of the tool.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have had issues in the past with keeping track of employee training. The training was coming from multiple locations (HR, in-house, team trainer, etc.) with absolutely no way to track what was done, if employees were meeting compliance deadlines, etc. This tool has helped to organize everything. It's easy to go in and see where each employee is at in the training cycle and who needs to complete specific trainings. It also helps the team manager when the need arises annually for goal-creation, promotion tracking, career pathing, and restorative action for employees put on performance plans.

"Great simulation tool!"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

It was fairly simple to use the application after being self taught. It is nice to have the Adobe community/forums available to assist with any questions you may have about the application.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

I am not a fan of the recording features available in Captivate and prefer to use a different recording application that is more user friendly.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to create multiple simulation training videos for our employees to instruct them on new software systems that do not have a training platform available.

"A well designed LMS"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

The interface is organized in a easy to use layout. Course building is easy. Support for different file types is a big plus. It allows users to review all different roles from, administrator to content editor, learner or manager. ADobe connect integration is very welcomed.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

It is not very suitable for educational institutions like universities. Socializing facilities like comments or chat options are not easily reachable and not very convenient. Notifications of comments and replies are also not very good.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped me to organize a distance education module. Assigning tasks to learners is very easy. Keeping track of learners progress is beneficial.

"Simple and straightforward LMS"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

This LMS is very easy to set up yet has a nice range of functionality. I particularly like the speed of course creation and the reporting that can be set up for team managers etc

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Sometimes found the help documents difficult to navigate when searching 'how to do something'.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

A client of mine wanted to start using an LMS for both internal employees and employees of their customers. Adobe Prime offered them a very low cost way to enter the market and plenty of time on the trial version to test whether the LMS was for them or not. Going forward I will defintiely be recommending other clients use Adobe Prime - especially my smaller clients who do not have good IT infrastructure and support.

"Adobe Captivate Prime is a good LMS with a few irritating quirks yet to be tamed."
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

I like that Captivate Prime has all the tools to create a learning module, either as a rapid-prototype or deliverable ready for distribution.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

There lurks a few annoying quirks in the software that reminds me of the struggles I experienced with Nineties-era software. It's sometimes difficult to manage global formatting. And, I've found the need to ALWAYS save my project after each change due to unexpected hangs and crashes. The software is 95% there with 5% of bugs needing resolution.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

I primarily use Captivate for rapid-prototyping. It's quick to achieve with the many pre-built shortcuts and functions. The benefit is time and efficiency as I am able to work within one package.

"Great LMS System for Starters! Worth a look!"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

I love how easy this is to set up. The tutorial videos and guides within Captivate are great. This makes it easy to get set up and going quickly! It's easy to set up certifications and track skills. The reporting is easy to use too. Overall it's a great starter LMS. If you are in the market for a new LMs, definitely add this to your list of systems to compare.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

It's not an LXP (Learning Experience Platform) and lacks some of the more modern features of newer systems. It could do with improved social features and gamification, which are on the weaker side here. If you have more advanced needs, you'll need to compare various systems out there to be sure that Captivate Prime will meet your needs. I dislike the fact that I can't tailor the system as much as others I've seen out there like Docebo.

What problems is Adobe Learning Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have 22 offices and need our 900+ employees to be able to access training as and when they need to. We also don't have the budget to fly people all over the world when we onboard new starters or enroll managers in leadership training. Captivate Prime allows us to roll out training to offices without a trainer. We've been able to upload all sorts of content from videos of our subject matter experts and business leaders. We haven't finished roll out yet but believe this will be a great system for us.
