(Original )Information
What do you like best about Elucidat?

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.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us create a blended learning onboarding training by converting theory content into eLearning modules. This means learners can learn at their own pace and have a bit of flexibility, but still have the security of having live sessions with a trainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Thank you for such a detailed review, Sebastien! It’s great to hear that you enjoy using Elucidat, particularly creating courses without having to change page layouts for different screen sizes. In regards to the content types that you have listed, these are very useful points for feedback which are appreciated as areas to improve the elearning platform. Watch this space r.e. video recordings, as that's coming soon. I’m glad that Elucidat is helping you create blended learning onboarding training, providing flexibility and security to your learners.

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a small team, so we need to be able to create high-quality e-learnings at scale, and Elucidat helps us do so seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Courtney! We’re thrilled to hear that Elucidat has helped elevate your learning experiences while enabling your team to create high-quality elearning at scale. It’s also fantastic to know that our customer support has made such a positive impact - we truly appreciate your kind words!

We also appreciate your feedback regarding Workday integration and the experience between Elucidat Author and Elucidat Create. We recognize the importance of a more seamless workflow and are actively working to bring these two products closer together. Stay tuned for updates - we’re excited about what’s to come!

Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we look forward to continuing to support you and your team!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to relatively quickly author courses and create more scrolling webpage style pages that can be embedded into our LMS. It is great for being able to co-work on projects, flexible options for persmissions for roles to meet our different needs. Solving the problem of needing multiple variations and languages while keeping them linked to a master course. Having some templates set up has also helped to make authoring quicker and provied some more consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Thank you for your recent review, and good to hear you’re taking advantage of translations, templates and in-built reviews. Your feedback is very timely! Have you seen the latest releases we’ve just introduced? We just ran a launch event to showcase the new, more intuitive interface; where there’s undo and redo capabilities, no switching between modes to change the layout, and you can copy and paste interactions between pages and courses. There’s also some enhancements to the translations capabilities that might help you. Please can you drop me a line at kirstie.greany@elucidat.com so I can send you some details?

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Elucidat is our main authoring tool for creating eLearnings, which are made for internal use within our enablement org. It makes it easy to plug in content and present in a formal way to our internal audience. We also use Elucidat for assessments to ensure knowledge is retained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for your review, Jaye! We’re so pleased to hear that you’re enjoying using Elucidat for corporate training and that our support team has been responsive and helpful - it’s great to know we’re making a positive impact!

We appreciate your feedback regarding video platform support and version history. If you haven’t already explored Elucidat Create, it includes version control features that might be useful for your needs - feel free to reach out to your CSM to learn more!

It’s fantastic to hear how Elucidat is streamlining your internal elearning and assessments, helping to present content effectively while reinforcing knowledge retention. Thanks again for your thoughtful insights!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It means we can give users e-learning content that complies with their regulatory requirements, and create engaging modules without needing a fully bespoke service or specific skillsets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, John! We're thrilled that you find Elucidat versatile and appreciate our variety of layouts and formats. It's great to know that managing the platform as an administrator has been easy for you and that our customer service team has been responsive and friendly.

Your insights are invaluable, and we're always looking to improve. We understand that finding straightforward answers can sometimes be a challenge due to different versions and unique project needs. If you have any specific suggestions or areas you'd like us to address, please feel free to share them with us.

We're glad that Elucidat is helping you create engaging elearning content that complies with regulatory requirements without needing bespoke service or specific skill sets. Our goal is to make the creation process as smooth and accessible as possible, and it's wonderful to hear that our platform is beneficial. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're saving money by not paying to outsource eLearning, and our team has learnt new skills using Elucidat. It allows for freedom and creativity in design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for sharing your experience with Elucidat! We're pleased to hear that the user guides, customization options, and templates have been valuable for you and your team. It's great to know our support team has been there when you needed them and that you find the platform quick and easy to make updates.

We appreciate your constructive feedback on automation, intuitive functionality, and the asset library. We're excited to let you know we're developing Elucidat Create to make editing more intuitive and help you save time for even smoother content creation. We'll also pass your comments about organizing assets in the library to our product team for consideration in future updates.

If you have any other feedback or need further support, please don't hesitate to contact our support team - we're always here to help. Thank you again for your insights!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to create site specific technical training that is maintainable in-house, since it is prone to updates. This intuitive authoring tool makes for non-professional learning designers to be able to create and update eLearnings relevant for their situations and easily integrates/ synchronizes with used LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear that you find Elucidat’s intuitive interface accessible for both professionals and non-professionals, making in-house content creation and maintenance seamless.

We appreciate your feedback regarding design options. Our goal is to balance ease of use with creative flexibility, and we’re constantly exploring ways to enhance customization while keeping Elucidat user-friendly.

It’s great to hear how Elucidat supports your site-specific technical training and integrates smoothly with your LMS. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

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.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

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.

What problems is Elucidat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Elucidat is enabling us to make our current content more engaging and interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Steve! We’re delighted to hear how Elucidat has improved your online content and resources. It’s wonderful to know that the platform’s ease of use has been a strong fit for your team, even for those new to online content creation.

It’s great to hear that Elucidat is enabling your team to create more engaging and interactive content. Thank you again for sharing your experience and feedback!
