What do you like best? It is nice to see the immersive learning features in Captivate’s latest release. Capabilities to import 360° media, place checkpoints, blurbs, hotspots and a VR environment onto the learners screen is brilliantly made.
What do you dislike? It is a pretty heavy software and tends to take up storage and cache space. Other than that it is a great tool.

What do you like best? In Adobe Captivate, interactive functions like drag drop can be customized so that the elearning is interactive and relevant. Knowledge checks, quiz, drag drop functionalities can have multi device support. Audio and custom triggers can be added for each interaction making it fun and easy to use.
What do you dislike? Making the elements interactive should be easy with readymade templates. Right now everything needs to be created from scratch.

What do you like best? Just like how Powerpoint has a master slide to show a consistent format and flow, Captivate also has options to define the theme or format of the entire course look and feel. These can be done from a single place making it a neat structured course authoring tool.
What do you dislike? Adobe captivate needs to be more easy to use, it can be a little tedious to use for complex actions.

What do you like best? Mobile learning has a lot of gestures and user action such as pinch zoom, swipe, tap etc.. Such actions can be recorded and added as video in the learning. Audio, microphone input can be added as well to give a rich course content creation experience through Adobe Captivate.
What do you dislike? Capturing and importing mobile gestures needs to be done well so that quality is not lost. More readymade themes are required as well..

What do you like best? Some of the courses are very text heavy and don’t fit into the screen. Captivate allows responsive text alignment with collapsible options and learners can click more to view more text. This is a simple but useful feature.
What do you dislike? Steps in defining interaction functions can be made a little easier. Other than that it is a great tool

What do you like best? You can personalize video background with images, videos, slide content and scenarios. The media assets that come with Adobe Captivate help you take your learning project to the next level.
What do you dislike? A difficult think while working in teams is that each desktop user must create their own content and then share the same with the rest of the team.
