Responsive content development is a real pain. In comparison to an alternative such as Articulate Storyline 360 - it is overly complicated. Impossible to train SME's to use for storyboarding etc in a way that has any return on the time that would need to be spent training them (in fairness, they do have the storyboard add on for this function).

Steep learning curve which was difficult for me when trying to train new employees how to use Captivate to develop eLearning. Screen recording feature that captures mouse clicks etc. If you have nay background in Flash, or any basic programming knowledge, it is highly transferable to the way that Adobe have built captivate. Having come into the eLearning world as a Flash developer, it was so easy to use. I now use Articulate Storyline 360 as my main tool, but have dipped back in to Captivate for features such as the screen recording PROS I spent around 2 years using Captivate as my only tool for eLearning development. Once understood, I have been able to make progress, but this is not a two or three week project.give yourself more time. The biggest consideration I have found is the amount of time I have had to spend learning the program. This is a wonderful feature, but takes quite a bit of time to learn. It is not easy, but when you learn to set it up correctly, the functionality is amazing! I'm referring mostly to the responsive projects that are scalable for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. I say that because the user must be competent on various computer applications and willing to spend some extra time learning! I have used many authoring tools, but this one has made me slow down and rethink some of the methods I use for development.
PROSĪdobe's new version of Captivate (2019) is a fantastic authoring tool for the right user. So far, the video formatting, audio (speech-to-text) function, and responsive project mode are my biggest positives. We are developing eLearning modules using the interactive tools found in Captivate. My overall experience so far is positive.
