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

I'm not tech-savvy, but as a Training Specialist, it's quite easy for me to create engaging materials for training and onboarding. The most important part is that I can upload Elucidat content directly to the Docebo learning platform, which is used for training. Compared to usual slides, content created through Elucidat is smooth to use and looks interactive. I mostly use Elucidat Create, and it even allows me to create content with AI and import .ppt files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

Creating content from templates is user-friendly, but when starting from scratch, it takes time to learn the tool. In my version, there are only a couple of templates available, and the same for Elucidat Create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Elucidat makes it easier to create engaging online training materials, adding a level of interactivity that goes beyond traditional, boring slides. Its integration with Docebo enhances the overall experience, making everything smoother. Also, it gives useful data about how well learners are doing through the Analyse section.

Overall, it helps us create, manage, and improve our training programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about Elucidat. It's great to hear that you find it easy to create engaging training materials and that the integration with Docebo is helpful. I will pass your comments to our product development team as we always strive to increase the number of templates and make them easier to use. Thanks for highlighting the ease of creating engaging, interactive training materials that break away from traditional, boring slides! We always encourage using different interactive elements to enhance learner engagement. Thanks again for your review!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

What I like best about Elucidat is that it enables anyone to create impactful elearning content, regardless of their skill level or expertise. It has a user-friendly interface, pre-built templates, and guided workflows that make the authoring process easy and efficient. It also has advanced features that allow experienced authors to customize and personalize their elearning experiences, using data, logic, and interactivity.

Elucidat also helps L&D teams to produce elearning content at scale, without compromising on quality or brand consistency. It has powerful collaboration tools that enable authors to work together, share feedback, and approve content. It also has a centralized asset management system that allows L&D managers to control and update their brand assets, images, and videos across multiple projects and variations. Elucidat supports localization and translation workflows, making it easy to deliver elearning content to learners across the globe.

Elucidat is more than just a software, it is also a learning platform that provides support and resources to its users. It has a dedicated customer success team that helps users with onboarding, training, and troubleshooting. It also has a learning hub that offers elearning examples, best practices, and tips from industry experts. Elucidat also conducts regular surveys and reports on the state of digital learning, giving users insights into the latest trends and challenges in the elearning industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

The pricing is very high compared to other elearning authoring tools.

The video creation functionality is limited. Elucidat does not allow users to record video directly within their courses or to record their screen for software demonstrations. Users have to use external tools to create and edit videos and then import them into Elucidat, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Personalised eLearning for our staff and volunteers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

I love this review. Thanks so much for taking the time to write it and with such thoughtfulness. What you like about Elucidat is exactly what we are here for - we couldn't have said it better if we tried! Empowering anyone to create impactful elearning, at high scale, to consistent standards and in multi-languages is our focus. I love that you called out what we offer beyond our platform - our passionate customer success team and dedicated L&D experts who provide resources, tips, reports and events to our customers - is what makes Elucidat a real joy to be part of, and I'm glad you're experiencing these benefits too. Keen to find out more about your feedback on our pricing, which is of course built around high scale models, so the per author cost drops drastically at higher scale but may feel higher otherwise. Please do let your point of contact at Elucidat know more. On the video point - watch this space or ask your customer success manager for an update on this. News landing soon! Thanks again for writing a fabulous review and making all of our days. :)

What do you like best about Elucidat?

I've been working with Elucidat for several years now, and it has proven to be a fantastic and flexible product. One of the standout features is its accessibility, making it easy for users to navigate and create engaging courses. The abundance of resources provided by Elucidat is a significant advantage. The platform offers excellent opportunities for upskilling through comprehensive guides, industry trend blogs, and informative webinars. The customer service, particularly through the Chat feature, is exceptional - quick responses and helpful assistance have made my experience with Elucidat even more positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

While I personally appreciate the extensive customization options Elucidat provides, it posed a challenge when introducing the platform to a large group of individuals (40+) with little or no course authoring experience. The learning curve for beginners proved to be steep due to the plethora of options and editing possibilities available. While this may be a minor drawback for experienced users like myself, it's worth considering the potential challenges for those new to course authoring. It's worth noting that Elucidat is actively addressing this concern by working on a simpler alternative interface. Despite this drawback, Elucidat remains a powerful tool once users become familiar with its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Elucidat serves as a comprehensive solution to our elearning challenges, providing a versatile authoring tool that accommodates both beginner and intermediate designers. This platform facilitates fast and engaging elearning production, allowing us to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. Additionally, Elucidat's commitment to user development is evident in its excellent resources, which empower our team to continuously improve their elearning skill and takes the burden off the admin team in having to upskill new users. The combination of a user-friendly tool and valuable skill-enhancing resources contributes significantly to the success of our elearning initiatives, making Elucidat an indispensable asset for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to write a thorough review of Elucidat, we really appreciate it. I'm so glad to hear you enjoy the flex of our platform, and in-built accessibility features. But I also love that you've called out the wider help and support we as a collection of people help provide through resources, guides, blogs, webinars and our customer service. We pride ourselves on being more than a platform and we come from a place of L&D passion and expertise- so I'm glad that you have positively experienced this. On your points around novice authors - thanks for sharing this point of view. As you point out we are actively working on this as I write with a new authoring interface. If you haven't seen the latest developments for this as yet, please do ask your customer success manager. We look forward to these future developments bringing further impact to our customers and enabling more and more novice authors and SMEs getting involved with content creation. Thanks again for your review - do keep in touch with us if you have other ideas for improvements!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

Ability to publish and update content with ease.

Translations for multiple versions .

Good responsive design once.

Ease of use for non learning designers.

Ability to duplicate projects and amend.

User management

Collaboration and review Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

Seems to lack key features that seem nothing more than an oversight. (ie: formatting restrctions, ability to set up rules that trigger when a page HAS been completed but not when a page HAS NOT been completed, ability to paste asset URLs instead of going through asset manager each time etc.)

Counting each click as a uniquie user which leaves the 'publish as a link' feature next to useless

Cost of the tool and add ons for features which would be free in other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows us to distribute our content globall and update without the need for redistribution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Hi there. Thanks so much for writing a detailed review. It's great to hear you are feeling some key benefits that we strive for at Elucidat around ease of use, quick ways to work, easy collaboration and smooth translations. In terms of the features you'd like to see, and comments around subscription packages, I'll make sure these are passed through to the product and customer success teams. Please do also make sure you mention these in your next call, as we always want to hear where we can improve. Here's to more high scale, global elearning made with ease! All the best, Kirstie

Its user-friendly interface, variety of features and superb customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

I haven't been following the feature updates closely, but I remember that the translation process required manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly the need to create and manage engaging modules in multiple languages quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for sharing your experience with Elucidat! We're delighted to hear that you find our platform user-friendly and packed with useful features. It’s also wonderful to know that our customer support has met your expectations.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the translation process.

What do you like best about Elucidat?

What I love about Elucidat is how many design elements there are to utilize. So many ways to customize the course, make it look and feel branded, and make each course unique and beautiful. If design isn't your thing- they also have a ton of templates to use.

Another reason I love using Elucidat is how easy it is to ask questions, either through the chat feature or emailing a question, Elucidat responds quickly to questions. The company I work for is a large retailer, and we have even offered suggestions to Elucidat on how to improve features- they welcome that feedback and actually respond to emails!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

I can't think of anything I don't like. If there are frustrations or issues, they are small, and I am able to reach out to support for help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have never personally used Articulate but our company uses it and was only using Articulate before they added Elucidat. Our company is constantly updating policies, adding new programs, and incorporating feedback into our courses. We have to update courses regularly. Elucidat makes it very easy to update a course. From what I have heard from other members of my team, Articulate makes it extremely time consuming to update content, and in Elucidat it is just so easy to make an update and re-release. That also helps our Courses remain up to date! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Thanks, Ashley for such a positive review! It's great that you're taking advantage of all the design elements available to help you customize your courses. It's even better to hear that you've been utilizing our support team to help you with any issues you face. We're glad you're finding it easy to update courses with Elucidat. Thanks again for writing a review!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

Its robust set of features simplifies complex tasks, allowing collaborators to focus more on content quality rather than grappling with the technicalities of the tool itself. There are a lot of interactive elements which facilitate dynamic course designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

However, while Elucidat excels in many areas, it falls short in terms of space management customization. The tool offers limited options for personalized space management, which might pose a challenge for those seeking a more tailored approach to organizing content within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It excels in addressing critical challenges associated with rapid course production within tight timelines. It proves invaluable in resolving multiple issues encountered during high-volume course production, enabling the team to generate a multitude of courses in a remarkably short period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for taking the time to review Elucidat. We're glad you found that Elucidat allows collaborators to focus on the quality rather than learn how to use the tool. We're always looking for ways to improve the user experience, so thank you for mentioning personalized space management; we'll pass that on to the product team. We're delighted you highlighted the speed at which you can create courses! We always aim to develop the tool in such a way that allows for speed while also maintaining high-quality courses. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

I have been using Elucidat for the past four years, and it has become one of my favorite authoring tools.

Creating content in Elucidat is a straightforward process, and the quality of the output is excellent. It provides layout-based design templates that make it easy for developers to select the desired layouts and update content as needed.

One of its standout features is its rapid development capabilities, and perhaps the best part is its support for collaborative work, thanks to its cloud-based nature.

Some few points I can highlight:

Easily accessible anywhere as it is a Cloud-based Online tool,

Creates Mobile Friendly Courses just in time,

Integrated Asset Library,

Translations can be completed rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

I did come across one drawback, which it misses an option to copy page parts from one page to another.

There is a loading issue when multiple text boxes are placed closely together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Elucidat addresses several challenges such as Efficient Content Development, User-Friendly Authoring, High-Quality Output, Collaborative Work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

Hi William and thanks for writing a positive review! It's great to read such great comments about ease of use, quality of output and design templates - especially from a loyal customer. With an upcoming development soon to be announced, copying page parts from one page to another will be addressed.

It's good to hear you are finding it easy to collaborate and create exciting new content easily. Thanks again for the review, William!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

Elucidat is a powerful tool that has tons of pre-built templates and interactions. I like to say it is the happy medium between Rise and Storyline. It's not as vast and difficult to use as Storyline, but it is more powerful and harder to use than Rise.

I love how customizable Elucidat is, but you don't have to start from scratch with every course you build either. My favorite thing about Elucidat is the text entry questions. It allows learners to reflect on what they are learning vs. just having stale multiple choice questions. Setting up text entry in Storyline is always a headache, but it's a breeze in Elucidat. Social polling is a fantastic feature as well - there is a lot of power in showing learners what their peers think.

Overall, Elucidat is a fantastic authoring tool. They need to work out a few kinks with the tool but eventually I could see this tool being very comparable to Rise/Storyline in terms of quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

Elucidat has a LARGE learning curve when you are used to using authoring tools such as Rise and Storyline. The layout vs. author tab takes a while to get the hang of because different settings are available in each tab, so you spend a lot of time at first switching between the tabs to figure out where you need to go for each setting you want.

There is virtually no community for Elucidat, so you can't really Google anything in relation to how to use Elucidat and get an answer. Some of their help articles are also out of date, or don't cover the exact questions my team has had about using the tool.

The review platform for Elucidat courses is wacky. We always have issues when we send a course to a SME or stakeholder to review and they have to try multiple times before they can get in (this could have something to do with our VPN). Regardless, any review tool should not require reviewers to create an account and we should be able to send the same course link to all reviwers vs. having to put in everyone's emails so Elucidat can send an email with a link to create an account, then it allows them to review the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Dynamic question types that are easy to implement, releases so I don't have to update the SCORM file in the LMS ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Elucidat. We're glad that you like our pre-build templates and interactions! Allowing learners to reflect on their learning by using text questions vs. multiple-choice questions and using social polls to show other people's answers is a sure way to ensure the learning sticks, so we're pleased you picked this as something you really like.

We're looking at how we can have a singular tab for both layout and author tabs, to make it easier on the author, so be on the lookout for updates from us soon on this.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues that you're having with the Review feature. Your reviewers can avoid having to create an account by inviting them as external collaborators. Using this method, you will still need to individually add their email addresses so they can receive the review link, but they won't have to create an account.

We're really delighted to know that you find dynamic questions and the way of releasing courses in Elucidat beneficial. Thanks again for taking the time to give us a review!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

Elucidat is very user friendly and easy to use for a non-experienced designer. The customer service is great to work with. I appreciate they consider user feedback to improve the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

The primary limitation of Elucidat is the limted graphics available to integrate into the product instead of pulling from our own graphics library. I appreciate the transparency of the features that are in development that will address the program's limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Elucidat is reducing the time it takes to create content from idea to publication. This means we are generating more content in a given time. The built in prompts allow for consistency in design and assists new users to create polished content with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kirstie Greany Elucidat of Elucidat

I love that Elucidat is saving you time and enabling you to produce more content in a given time! Thanks so much for writing your review. It's great to read and appreciate you calling our our fab people i.e. our customer support teams. We pride ourselves in being much more than a platform and are always happy to help, advise, support our customers on their learning production journeys. We'll feed your point about graphics libraries back to the team - thanks for that. Otherwise, do shout if there's any more we can do to support you in creating impactful elearning with ease!
