Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360
My team uses Articulate 360 Stroryline, Rise, Studio and Review to create technical content for an internal audience of 80,000 people globally. I love the flexibility of Storyline 360 that enables me to do literally ANYTHING: escape room? adaptive pathing? videogame? if someone come to me with an out of the box idea, I know Storyline can make it happen.
However it comes with a steep learning curve and team members who are new to Storyline can struggle if they are not comfortable with technology. For a simpler less customized solution, Rise and Studio are available. Rise has a modern, website like output that looks very polished right out of the box. Studio is handy for more traditional PowerPoint based courses while still including a solid assessment feature. I also love that Articulate 360 is always evolving and adding new features to an already very complete tool. And finally the Articulate suite is very reliable, I rarely face bugs, when something is not working as it should, usually it's a problem that can be resolved by the developer and the community site is an awesome resource to get help quickly!

I mostly use the authoring content and Review 360 to share the content with our reviewer or stakeholders.
There is a great integration with Review that really supports the review workflow. The different authoring tools are complementary, with a specific use for each.
As for our LMS, they don't always work well with each other but that may not be Articulate 360's fault.
