Likelihood to Recommend
I certainly reccomend edX for Business to support learning projects that demand specific knowledge contents. These online courses are complete and engaging, and they can be used to support different learning needs inside a company. It is flexible because anyone can complete it on its own pace and using different devices. I believe it is appropriate to big companies, because pricing may be an issue in some countries (it is expensive in Brazil).

  • Streaming problem.

  • The software is in constant revision, so if you search for help online, be sure you are researching the correct revision. There is a lot of debris information about iSpring Suite online.
  • The Presentation and Publishing features are somewhat intimidating at first. Be sure you pay attention to every detail. The training I develop is pretty standardized, so I was able to write instructions for myself to follow to ensure each instance was set up the same way each time.
  • There are a lot of 'extras' I never use, such as characters and interactions, so be sure your style of training development is aligned with what iSpring has to offer.

iSpring Suite is a perfect tool overall to create contents in collaboration with colleagues. There are some difficulties though in usability but the usability is OK in total. We are fully satisfied with the customer support. There are simple online tutorials and a team of competent support colleagues. The support content is sometimes not simply accessible, you need to search for them longer.

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.

Alternatives Considered
With the exception of graded assignments and certification, edx has validated certificated courses that are credible in the market. It also offers a free course audit option. The best reason to try edx is probably their 14-day return policy; with all these beneficial points, edx is acing the learning market at this moment.

iSpring Suite is the only product I've used since I've been in my current role and I'm glad for that. It was so easy to learn and so easy to become proficient with that it makes hard for me to even imagine a product exists that will work better for me.

Read full review
  • The ROI on this product has been great
  • It has enhance my reputation personally within the organization. This has led to other departments requesting me by name to head up eLearning development projects, even delaying their own deadlines to ensure that I am involved.
  • Other than a few duds (I let some inexperienced vocal talent slip thru in the heat of multiple conflicting deadlines), learner feedback has skyrocketed over that developed before I became involved and standardized the effort on iSpring
