Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

Easy to use. Good support and good sales

Cons

Some more quiz. Not wery good mobile platform.

Pros

It's really easy to use, and the layout is very friendly. Especially when we enrol learners, the way they see the learning track and all their resources is polished and professional.

Cons

There are a lot of really good features, but they seem underdeveloped. There's no consistent codes, for example, for the notifications- only one type of notification can address the user by name, for instance. I feel like there are a lot of functions that could be expanded on, to make iSpring more versatile and functional.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

Interaction and quizzes. Allows some activity so the course will not be monotonous.

Cons

Still avatars and voiceovers. Tedious task to do voiceovers.

Pros

I have been using iSpring Suite Max for several years. With this application, I can prepare interactive presentations and teaching materials in the usual way. The application allows you to create tests of various difficulties and receive qualitative feedback easily and quickly. I've tried a few courseware programs, iSpring is by far the best I've tried

Cons

I liked everything. I don't see anything bad

Pros

Easy to use, working as supposed, great service team.

Cons

A few functions could be added to further improve it, but it's very nice already.

Pros

seamless integration with ppt allows us to work directly on the slides and avoiding moving them on other tools

Cons

thank you for being so openminded to ask also for cons (this is something so rare to be really appreciated). audio controls integrated in ispring quizmaker are not coeherent with audio controls on the player that may be confusing for a user

Pros

Constructively crafted and programmed.
Easy to operate and understandable for the user.

Cons

Like any software, it has its pros and cons. I can't say anything in particular.

Pros

The acessibility of content is great and there are a lot of different resources to make presentations.

Cons

I believe there are few things to adjust, mainly inside interactions or quizzes regarding the use of images or elements of the presentation so the user can get more creative in their design choices.

Pros

iSpring Suite is truly an excellent program that provides me, as a designer, with a wealth of creative possibilities. The use of this program is extremely straightforward, allowing me to quickly turn my ideas into reality. Furthermore, I am impressed by the abundance of available templates, images, and characters that assist me in creating attractive content.

Cons

The program could benefit from littel bit more interactivity.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

I enjoy the fact that this venture all started as curiosity revolving around making more interactive content for our team. I have NEVER developed anything more than a basic ppt.
The ease of use, videos tutorials, and online support is amazing!
I went from never even attempting something like this to creating an entire multi course program that is fully interactive, with touches of user personalization! I'm excited to role it out to the teams!

Cons

So far so good... I would just like to see personalization being able to carry on throughout an entire lesson, and more posture choices, and/or movement of the characters within the role-plays.
Also in the Role-Play, possibly an ability to branch of from a scene that does not have a 'message' or 'reply'.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

Ease of use is an option for development. Easy to open and access.

Cons

I didn't realise where the Ispring controls were until I'd used it for 6 months and then accidentally clicked on "Ispring". Up till then it was just a normal power point system.

Pros

Intuitive
Many course design options to choose from
Stable
Easy Publishing

Cons

Nothing to share. I have not had an cons about the iSpring Suite.

Pros

It is easy to install and get started. The interactions are very useful. They are quick to set up and work well.

Cons

The content library has a lot of variety. However, as a training organisation whose students include disability support workers, there are limitations.

Pros

Very excellent, which I consider the greatest distance education system, as it provides all the features and characteristics necessary for fun and flexible learning.Online tutorials are very popular these days.

Cons

Nothing, but its costs seem relatively high to some users.

Pros

Intuitive to use; using a PowerPoint makes using this product engaging. Also, having access to the plethora of templates is amazing.

Cons

The process for providing captions is not easily available.

Pros

I use iSpring Suite to develop training content for our different engineering teams across North America. iSpring allows me to create customized training for our unique company needs that caters to our different engineers and departments. The tool is very easy to use and within a few weeks, I felt I could quickly produce high quality training materials.

Cons

I find that the tool is not always consistent in publishing the content for use. It works 85% of the time. The few times it does not work, it is always easy to fix. It's just time consuming to republish but you can usually fix the errors.

Pros

everything. All is great. The Customer support, the simplicity to use it, the features it has. The more I work with it the more I learn how to create even better courses and they become amazing

Cons

Here and there there are tiny things that could be easier. For example choosing more than one slide template at a time during course creation. Would be good to have an opportunity to have text to speech option in normal mode not only in interaction But this is so tiny compared to all the great things it has that I even feel bad talking about them.

Pros

Easy to use as a user and as administator

Cons

There's not way to download materials out of knowledge base option

Pros

We like the functions that are available.

Cons

Still trying to learn all the functionality

Pros

There are so many features and options available to create quality, consistent, engaging e-learning content.

Cons

If there was anything...it's alot to learn because there are so many options for customizing each training designed. But actually that's exactly what we were looking for!

Pros

Powerpoint Integration. The new illustrated characters are on the mark. Keep them up. Don't like the human cutouts (not just ISpring versions but that style overall across eLearning). I like how they are not exaggerated caricatures/cartoons but reflect 'people in professional contexts.'Could build out this line of characters with more variety of poses. Sitting, walking, using tools, Side, back, 3/4 etc as these more active poses work in scenarios. The existing library of 'gestures' are fine but they are limited in storytelling for workplaces. These illustrated characters really work well with the Powerpoint animation tools.

Cons

Separate modules/Widgets for interactions. limited customisation parameters.Audio integration a bit fiddly.

Pros

I’m converting my classroom training online with iSpring and love every minute of it! It’s easy to learn and the tools and features are fantastic. Support has be quick, friendly and helpful. The free webinars are also valuable. I’m so excited to keep creating and learning more! Thanks iSpring!

Cons

I’ve shared a few minor suggestions for the quizzes and interactions but iSpring is open to feedback and has given me solid workarounds! All around amazing!

Pros

What I like the most is the excellent customer service and the very helpful tech support team. Today [sensitive content hidden] assisted me. I was having so much trouble editing a video project. It took a very long time to get through this, hence being assisted by several tech support agents. All the tech support agents were very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. In the end, [sensitive content hidden] helped me complete my project and the ending result was a complete success. Thank you, [sensitive content hidden] !

Cons

I don't know if this is available, but having the option to video support through Zoom, Teams, would be so great for people like me who are always in virtual meetings.

Pros

I would give customer support 10 extra stars if I could! I hardly ever need them, but when I do, they are fast, very knowledgeable and will only stop when it's solved.

Cons

Export files for translations should have the option to choose which xliff version. With only one .XLIFF version (1.2) I cannot use this functionality at all, as my translation software only accepts another version. And trust me, that company also got this feedback in reverse!

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

Very good tool to generate online content based on powerpoint.
The generated courses embed online videos, quizzes, role play games keeping all powerpoint features animations and browsing facilities for a maximized user experience.

Cons

Working on a synchronized folders such as OneDrive leads to some synchronization issues on the linked quizzes which are stored in a local folder. This reduces the capability to work in collaboration with colleagues.
The tool may also improve by providing some ways to automate, script actions such as changing templates, applying properties, and so on in a batch mode for multiple files at once.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

The tech support is out of this world. They help me so quickly and send screenshots of exactly what I need to do when I get stuck.

Cons

I run multiple accounts and would like an easier single sign-in, so I don't have to log in and out of accounts all of the times.

Pros

I truly appreciate the ease with which we can create and navigate content within the system. Given our extensive experience with PowerPoint, iSpring provides a seamless transition to a robust content library and effortless module assignment across various teams. The ability to monitor progress and pinpoint knowledge gaps among our users is invaluable. The interactivity of the platform allows us to craft engaging eLearning experiences and effectively digitalize our training process. It's a fantastic tool for enhancing our training efforts!

Cons

One of the most challenging aspects we encountered was automating the registration process for each user within iSpring, particularly in our fast-paced and dynamic company where team changes due to new hires and promotions are frequent. Although we devised a method to automate this process and integrate it with OKTA based on job titles, the system does not automatically update when employees switch teams. This has a detrimental impact on our reporting, and the manual updating of lists is time-consuming. Additionally, we see an opportunity for enhancements, particularly in the area of card flips, to further optimize the platform.

Pros

The fact that this is all in one product and doesnt limit us on the size of the file is a massive benefit for us. Along with the fact that you have the full functionality of powerpoint, with additional application sadded on top of it make it a one stop shop for us.

Cons

the ispring pages would be great if it facilitated much larger sizes. 2bg size is not enough for our purposes.

Pros

The fact that ISpring Suite is a Powerpoint add-in means that I did not have to learn any new authoring product. It incorporates seamlessly.

Cons

I must sometimes work from home if sick or for other reasons. I have been unable to activate the product at home even though it is possible.

Pros

Feedback and flexibility. Permanent support from ISpring staff.

Cons

Customising autocorrecting
Using diverse characters (languages)

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Suite

Pros

really easy to use, Powerpoint plugin integration helps starting projects quickly and efficiently. Useful functionalities keep being added (i.e. last year text to speech). Low price compared to other providers like Adobe Captivate. Customer Support always answers quickly and resolves most issues in no time, big plus for us.

Cons

collaboration with colleagues is still not optimal. Working on a shared drive is impossible, the cloud solution requires you to upload and download the project every time you make a change and still it is not seamless and you sometimes need to link project files with source files when editing a colleagues file.

Pros

It's intuitive and robust and "sits" on top of MSFT PowerPoint. It accommodates, audio, video, AI, quizzes and assessments.

Cons

The inability to control font color or size within the branching scenarios like you can in other areas.

Pros

It is Powerpoint based so it is easy to learn

Cons

Annual subscription cost. It would be nice if Long Time users could earn "Frequent flyer" benefits.

Pros

Easy to use, intuitive, user-friendly, pleasant interface

Cons

All is fine. While iSpring Suite offers templates and features, some users might find them limiting for creating highly customized eLearning courses with a unique visual style.

Pros

Since iSpring was designed to work with PowerPoint, using your existing training or teaching materials is easy. The added benefit of integrating checkpoint quizzes and exit assessments allows the student to self-monitor their understanding.

Cons

The software is obviously designed and marketed towards corporate training and the included characters and backgrounds are limited if you are designing courses or lessons that are geared toward secondary education or below.

Pros

Simplicity of basic course development. Support is the best

Cons

Powerpoint timeline too basic for complex courses

Pros

The versatility of the package and its good integration with PowerPoint and many types of quizzes, including the ability to create quizzes on a map, which is crucial in the case of the subject I teach (geography).

Cons

Everything is at a high level. I would only add an administration panel to the online test results sent (so that you could implement it yourself on your website

Pros

From the perspective of someone making a purchasing decision, I am extremely pleased with iSpring Suite. The fact that our employees are satisfied with their work within the system speaks volumes. The support provided by iSpring is not only timely but also exceptionally prompt.

Overall, my experience with iSpring Suite has been exceedingly positive. I regard it as an exceptional tool for developing a wide range of content, and I wholeheartedly endorse it for those who may be uncertain about which program to select.

Cons

I don't have any specific complaints about iSpring Suite.

Pros

Easy access with net connection and upload the content for students' future reference.

Cons

It is time-consuming and needs basic computer skills to upload and reviewing of the content.

Pros

I love that you can work straight from PowerPoint! Makes everything much more interactive and I love playing around with all the different tools that are available.

Cons

Some times when I am customizing things, theres too much data and it makes it overwhelming. It also looks like an early 2000's desktop.
I also don't like the fact that this is not compatible with Mac!

Pros

Everything - the customer support and tech teams, the interactions and features!

Cons

Sometimes it can be difficult to learn a new feature but they do provide you with video demos and the team are always able to help quickly.

Pros

Integration with PowerPoint, easy to use for most of course designers

Cons

The lectors for not common languages (e.g. Lithuanian) is not so natural

Pros

I like the tasks, such as matching pictures with words, drag and drop, and other interactions.

Cons

I think there aren't enough illustrated characters for young children, as well as backgrounds

Pros

Easy to use and very good integration into powerpoint
Customer service is excellent

Cons

This is the first project I worked and and so far all is fine

Pros

The customer support - they always respond within a couple of hours with clear step by step instructions and pictures.

Cons

Making quick updates / publishing function can be time consuming.
Would be good to have a live test mode (to be able to skip slides / work through faster when testing).

Pros

With time and all updates iSpring Suite became perfect tool for my needs.

Cons

Since all the functionalities added in last few years, there is notning I don't like.

Pros

It can be easily used as part of Power Point. If you are familiar with power point it is relatively easy to use iSpring.

Cons

Just learning a new program. but with patience I learned that it wasn't that hard to use.
