I love how the page layouts mimic website layouts, and that these are responsive without me having to do too much editing for different screen sizes.
The re-release feature is also very handy. It lets you re-release your content after making corrections, without the need to re-upload any SCORM packages into your LMS.
Elucidat is set up to send xAPI statements, and also has an online release method, so you technically don't need an LMS to release your content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some content types are missing. For example:
- no software simulation recordings (very necessary for my software eLearnings)
- no ability to create your own variables to track different numbers in the background (like Storyline / Adobe Captivate)
- no ability to set objects to have different states that update depending on variables
- no ability to add custom JavaScript to any of the buttons, pages, or clickable elements (this could be useful for gamification points, etc. as well as sending custom xAPI statements based on learner behaviour) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We looked into several e-learning authoring systems before unanimously agreeing that Elucidat was the best choice, and we've been so pleased with our decision. The system itself is user friendly, offers a number of easy to use templates, and there are many options to engage learners with the course content. We had two main goals when investing in Elucidat: 1) Elevate our learning experiences to match the aesthetic of our brand and 2) Create e-learnings at scale, and Elucidat has helped us accomplish both those goals within our first year. I would also be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the support we receive from our Customer account manager as well as their Customer Service team. The white-glove service they've provided, starting even before we signed our contract, has been nothing less than exceptional. We signed on for the product, but we will stay for the service.

We use Workday for our LMS, and the integration between the two is a bit lacking, specifically when it comes to Data Analytics (without investing in Elucidat Analytics which does fills the void). I'm also looking forward to seeing more of a seamless experience between Elucidat Author and Elucidat Create; currently, we're unable to use our brand theme and previously built Author projects in Create, which creates more manual work in the latter system. I do believe they're working on bringing these two products closer together, so I look forward to seeing that update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They are a really great team to work with. Like how can make variations, language differences and reviews. Also, great that it is all cloud based and we can have multiple people work on and collaborate on projects. The different permission settings available to set for people is really useful.

It isn't very user friendly and intuitive to author. It is a bit fidly to try and make it look how you want it too. Especially as more advanced designers. Not having good undo capability to try things and then just go back a few steps. Frustrating to have to switch between author and layout mode to just figure out a layout. Can get time consuming to not be able to style a section/interaction then copy and paste that onto different pages (or save in a bank of styled widgets) to have consistency throughout a course or between courses. It can be glitchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is easy to play around with the different elements of a page and constantly update and make edits. I have also found the Elucidat support team extremely responsive and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Currently our video platform isn't supported, so we aren't able to use the option to prevent users from progressing until all elements of the page are complete. I would love the option to view past edits and be able to revert back to an old version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Elucidat's a versatile system that allows for lots of variety, with different layouts, formats and optins to give users a wide ranging experience. It's also pretty easy to manage as an administrator, and the customer service is responsive, quick and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some quirks to some aspects of it, and it's not always completely straightforward to find the answer. There's a comprehensive Help function, but how useful this is can depend on (for example) the version you're using, and because each project's different there often isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.

I like the user guides, as they have helped me and my team understand the programme and how to use it. They're also a good reference tool. I like how easy it is to customise courses, with colour, fonts etc. I like the templates available, which have helped me learn how to construct branching and write scenarios. The customer support is usually quick and they've helped me with most problems. I use the programme most days, and can make small updates quickly and easily. I like that I can see when the course was last released without having to enter the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lack of automation in simple tasks, like scaling for mobile screens, which makes it slower to create content. It can be difficult to select the section I want to edit too, as the small pencil buttons are sometimes blocked by other parts. It can be confusing to use, as the program doesn't always work intuitively, or functions are missing that would make it easier to use. I find it frustrating that the asset library doesn't automatically organise assets into folders for the project they were last used, or first uploaded. This manual task is time consuming, and make the library messy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GUI is intuitive that it hardly needs any explanation. This makes Elucidat ideal for professionals and non- professionals alike, offering an accessible tool and therefore keeping content and content maintenance in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In order to keep Elucidat WYSIWYG it lacks design options that would offer more creativity in creating content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elucidats ease of access and use, even for those with limited experince in online content creation was excellent.
Our team of creators also found the provision of templates and consistent support and updates to be exemplarly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only aspect of the platform that was cumbersome was the Asset Library which stores images and logos every time they are used creating a lot of duplication in this section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The extensive range of features, seamless integration capabilities, and user-friendly interface. Elucidat offers a wide variety of tools that make course creation straightforward and efficient, allowing for both creativity and flexibility in design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Differences between variations and the parent course: After creating a variation, I’d like to have the flexibility to add layouts during the creation phase, just as I can with the parent course Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
