"Lots of awesome features, more complicated than other systems"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

There are so many different things you can do with this; like with all Adobe systems, the functionality is vast, allowing you to take your training to new heights.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

It is difficult to get familiar with and get started using/switch over to because of the depth of the features.

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

At this point, it has not yet solved any issues, however, when we have more time to experiment and learn, it hopefully will.

"Great Functionality, Dated-looking UX Experience"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

Adobe delivers, as usual, with its arsenal of features and robust capabilities.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Given the slew of newer LMS systems out there, Captivate Prime LMS looks and feels like a piece of nostalgia, grandmotherly.

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

If I needed to build up from ground zero, for a client that needed heavy customization, than I would go with Captivate Prime LMS.

"Overall good - missing features and intermittent technical problems"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

Uniform delivery across platforms, ease of uploading, creating course and keeping customers separated by catalogues

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Navigating between courses is missing the feature of a "back" button or navigation menu. the back button on the browser can be used but then you have to scroll to where you were again. Otherwise you have to hit "home" then go to learning and find your learning program/course again Also there have been a few technical issues - content with different files names rolling versions of eachother (incorrectly), content was not viewable (backend issue for whoever adobe uses to host content) and the menus/content were all messed up for a day or so. All of these issue were resolved but I am not happy about this. I chose adobe since I thought they would have a stable, solid platform that wouldnt see these issues. I am second guessing myself.

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

Low cost per user makes it possible for my small company to use adobe. No major "buy in".

"Feature Rich and Complicated"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

I like the range of design options and testing options. The software simulation record feature is among the best.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

But frankly, most people use a fraction of the capabilities because this is a complicated application. There are better and simpler web-based services. Previewing and testing are often different in execution.

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

Building training that can be deployed on our LMS.

"The LMS you need if you solely deal with Captivate"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

I like how easy it is to publish Captivate projects straight to the LMS from within Captivate. No need to export and upload to your own LMS.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

The lack of eCommerce support is one thing that is sorely lacking if you want to sell your training. This product is also not for small organizations due to the 100 user minimum requirement. If you only have 20 users in your company, it doesn't make sense to subscribe with Captivate Prime.

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

The ability to deliver Captivate based eLearning to a wide audience within the company. The fact that we don't have to maintain a server, there's sufficient support, and an attractive dashboard made Adobe Captivate Prime a worthy solution for our needs. Developers, LMS admins, and the users all have positive remarks with the use of Captivate Prime.

"Lack of training material to learn how to use"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

It seems like it can do a lot, and our account manager and the support team is very helpful.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

The fluidic player - even though I use Adobe Captivate it interfears with the accessabiity and table of contents. Emailling support multiple times in one day makes Zendesk think it's for the same ticket - to prevent confusion I had to make my own Zendesk account and log tickets that way. No ticketing system for enhancement requests, it just dissapears. I want to log and track the requests myself. Hard to use, e.g. for an instance I have to create in VC, task, and Learning Path. I have to assign an instructor to VC and task. Lots of places to trip up. Not enough training avaliable - not in depth enough. Not enough capability for instructors - so we end up having to give them admin rights - e.g to mark a course as manually complete, to archive their old marked stuff. etc

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

SSO from multiple sites has been great. Auto creation of users via SSO has been great. The ability to api information into multiple client sites has been great. Ability to en mass assign out courses by role type or client sites has been great.

"Somewhat disappointed"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

I like the clean interface and ease of publishing content from Adobe Captivate

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

The custom JS I had on the captivate content did not work within Prime. It is laughing in its own frame or something and the JS did not work. I had custom navigation so this did not work.

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

Small number of users but still needed LMS tracking. Would have fit the bill. Bit pricey though. Went with a Moodle instance and the captivate packages ran beautifully so could keep all the custom work.

"Works like something still under development"
What do you like best about Adobe Learning Manager?

The user interface is very simple and easy to use. Creating courses is very straight forward. Customer support, although it is overseas, has been excellent.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Many of the features do not operate as desired. Active fields, a place where learners can enter information as part of the registration process, when used with a drop down box are unsortable. If you have a lot of entries it is impossible to find the one you need. No reoccurring classroom training option. If you have a classroom course you cannot automatically reschedule the course every 12 months. I find this a real issue. Using the Adobe ID system to log in is nothing but painful. If you use a kiosk set up, single computer for multiple learners to access the LMS,if you close the browser and do not sign out the sign in process leaves a cookie, which does not expire when the browser is closed. This prevents the next person from logging in until the cookie is removed. No access to passwords or the ability to reset a learner's password. No way to auto select language preference. User must change manually by accessing there profile.

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

Overall, I think that another LMS would serve us better. The time invested in setting up a new LMS is the few reasons we are staying with Captivate prime.

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

Low cost high powered LMS solution. Audit trail included.

What do you dislike about Adobe Learning Manager?

Difficult to capture external training. Individuals with multiple roles find it cumbersome to deal with the navigation required build and deploy a course or curriculum. Too many clicks to get things done. End users had to train more than usual to understand how to navigate the system.

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

Small business training. We gave up and went with an enterprise solution.

I do like the many job aides and help guides in the application. They have been very helpful.
