I have used all iSpring authoring tools because I have the Suite which includes the Presenter, Visuals and Quizmaker. I have also used the Converter, but haven't had use for it lately.
With regards to making materials for students, Moodle is a genuine drag to work with, and ProProfs isn't greatly improved. ProProfs' LMS is quite great, however they don't have a decent method to make gorgeous materials disconnected. iSpring's Quizmaker appears to have …
TalentLMS is excellent for quick microlearning since it offers a comprehensive library of courses on various topics. For own classes, their editor is straightforward to use and efficient + it provides a good mix of interactive elements, like the option to use screenshots with interactive annotations. It is not the best solution if you want highly granular data on how your users are doing (on the "new UI"). However, from what I've been told, they are looking into that. Their out-of-the-box courses are not intended to be stand-alone learning material, so don't expect that.
Quick and easy creation of e-learning courses in co-operation with the specialist departments. A wide range of interactions and quizzes make the result even better. By producing content ourselves, we save a lot of time and money in the creation process.There are no major difficulties, apart from the fact that the SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) file export is sometimes complicated if you have integrated special features in e-learning (branches with quizzes, repetition elearnings, etc.). TalkMaster could also be simpler, perhaps with AI support (by AI-prompting a GPT model instead of manual dialogue capture).
We have courses that are required for each employee based on their job title, and then, many courses we consider to be elective for that job title. We have not found a method to distinguish between those in order to view an employee's performance on required courses only.
Reports are only available by user ID or user name. We have some facilities or managers who need the user ID (based on payroll entry) and some that need names (employees they interact with each day).
Adding audio narration to interactive slides is easy, but still perhaps a bit repetitive/clunky
The way you add playlists works well, but wish it was "project/course specific", instead of carrying over from project to project. Easy to delete playlists, tho.
If you have a common set of learner resources to make available over many courses, you must manually add the URLs and/or PDFs manually each time. Would be so nice to be able to create a "reference list" and import it to each course with a click or two. This is the most annoying thing I can think of about iSpring.
I give iSpring Suite an overall usability of 10/10 because I started using this software with absolutely no background knowledge, only what I know of using PowerPoint and some instructional design experience. I was able to jump in and create my first course very quickly, with very few questions along the way.
The support team is fantastic, whether through live chat, ticket logging, or discussions with our customer relationship manager. Their knowledge of the product is great, and they are always more than willing to walk you through a process and provide links to self-study as an Admin. The knowledge base is also fantastic and detailed.
Great software is only exceeded by their fantastic support. Prompt responses, complete with clearly outlined steps to follow, are just the beginning. There are tremendous resources and continual webinars to challenge what we think we know about the iSpring Suite. I often use PowerPoint to lay out marketing slides, add music and narration, then publish them as an MP4 video. I can count on iSpring support to assist me when I need help.
We had no problems at all with the implementation. That being said, we did not have too much to properly implement content-wise since we had no prior LMS. After we activated, we mostly started creating or porting content manually. The overall account setup is straightforward and out of the box, making the implementation very quick. SSO works flawlessly as well.
Both are good, but the pricing and general value proposition of Talent LMS are better than Trainual in my opinion. Trainual is a bit more modern and cleaner looking from a user interface perspective, but it comes at a higher cost. Both platforms provide very similar features in the way of general functionality and user experience, but Talent LMS wins because of its better pricing model.
Therer are several other interactive video creation tools out there, such as Camtasia, Adobe Captivate and even PowerPoint on its own, but none of them come close to offering the galaxy of features that is served up by iSpring Suite, and it's the easiest to learn and use with affordable price tags
Dramatically more cost-effective than alternatives, with greater feature sets. Made our eCommerce training deployment a breeze. Hard to attribute an ROI to just the LMS specifically but it would be a high multiple in a period of just a few months.
We allow potential customers to sample training and feedback is our offerings differentiate us from our peers.
Having the ability to offer an accessible training catalog and self-enrollment is also something our customers comment on positively.
The training developed in iSpring has allowed our customers to prepare for further interaction with our processes and projects on their own timeline, and has positively impacted the ease with which we are able to execute project rollouts.
