The biggest plus for Decipher are the dynamic questions skins. There's a lot of them and they are all mobile optimized. Overall the entire layout is mobile optimized. Basic users can create a custom user experience with no advanced scripting needs.
Secondly I really enjoyed the XML interface. It allows for fast change of question types via search replace.
Being able to edit XML also allows for offline work which can be faster at times than working in browser.
Thirdly I was very pleased with their support team. Both the support department as well as their customer satisfaction managers were very quick to give solutions to all of my requests.
As a side note the regular contract allows for an unlimited number of logged in users. Which is a big advantage considering that this allows you to provide your clients with day to day access to the integrated testing and reporting solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not really a fan of the python code. Having to create optimal scripting doesn't come easy. I've dabbled in it and found that complex code could be simplified by using integrated function which are not straight forward to learn even though the Knowledge base is pretty extensive. Trial and error really was the way to go, as well as consulting with their support team.
The debugging process is not really straight forward as XML errors get mixed with python errors and JavaScript errors in the same compiler and it takes time to sort out where the actual issue is. Also switching from one editor to the other might reveal errors that you weren't aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
