exactly the same for me. I would love to use Articulator and it is probably more appropriate to my needs… but I will never install windows on my mac…

Go Maria! I’m excited that I may be using Articulate for a new project, but not so excited that I’m going to have to install Vista with Boot Camp to do so…

I just think it’s highly ironic that you say
“we live in 2009 and people expect Apple and Armani”
YES! We DO expect Apple – so why doesn’t Articulate figure out a workaround so we are not forced to use Windows!!

Let’s get in the same room with these guys and lock the door until they figure it out!

This is not a fair fight. Captivate is more of a system simulation tool, not a full-blown e-learning development tool. Try simulating a system in Articulate and let me know how that goes. Captivate rocks in this department. A better comparison would be Articulate vs Lectora.

Let’s go Mets! I’ve worked extensively with both, and agree that Articulate is easier to use and puts out a clean and professional end product. Programs created in Captivate *can* look better, but we’re not all graphic artists, are we? As a single ID, I get a lot more bang for my buck from Articulate (although I wish I had a bit more control when I design). And no one has even discussed what a mess quizzing is in Captivate. Interestingly, I took part in an online survey for Adobe last year, and given the nature of the questions, it was pretty obvious they realize there are some major issues with Captivate.

My corporation recently put me in charge of creating e-Learning content. I’ve been working with Articulate and had decided on GeoLearning for the LMS. The owner of the company recently discovered the Adobe suite of products and is anxious for me to approve a complete switch (now that I’ve finally got the hang of what we decided on earlier).

Question… I understand that Captivate does not replace Articulate but what about Articulate vs Adobe Presenter? Captivate files can be added to both so I can use the best of both worlds with Articulate, Captivate, Camtasia and which ever LMS I choose, right?

Nice review, filled with substantive observations. Sometimes Adobe gets carried away with their own hi tech approach when they need to concentrate more on low level nuts and bolts solutions. Kudos.

As the QA Manager of Articulate Presenter, Quizmaker, and various other products at Articulate I love what you had to say about Articulate being “Stable”. Thanks for the comparison, it was really helpful and funny.
