Learning Solutions Developer II at a legal firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
A solution with great customization and visually appealing features
I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Storyline has so much flexibility, and you can do so much fun with it. It's top-rated. You can do basic things and get carried away with Storyline. However, if you're looking to convert a PowerPoint presentation into something that looks nice or has an embedded video where the speaker would be, iSpring Learn is a good solution. It's a great program, and we use many features. For example, we use Camtasia for video and screen recordings. If we want to create a game or start something from scratch and customize it for the user with graphics and places with many engagement features, we can use either Articulate or Storyline. Everything is contained in one window, and it's visually appealing. We can scroll down, and it's almost like a webpage where we get all the information. iSpring Learn is made so that we can create visually appealing and engaging content with just a PowerPoint presentation. Sometimes we have people who give us a PowerPoint and say, "Can you do something with this? Can you make it pretty?" Or they'll provide us with audio and say, "I recorded these slides for PowerPoint. Can we jazz it up? Can we do something?" So we put the picture or their bio with their contact information. If they have any attachments, we'll add resources to them. Then we convert the PowerPoint and add the audio, which looks great. iSpring Learn is easy to work with.

Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work
The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good. The drop-downs are too limited. One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.
